Anime Expo Minute#8 Gashapon Coming In & Tubeout

 


If you like collecting those cute little toys, then good news! Bandai Namco is bringing over 200 gashapon machines to the Entertainment Hall this year. Way more than that sliver from last year. Either they did really well or they were told by corporate to push it in America. More places with once-hard-to-find and Japan Only prizes are now stateside. 

What kind of sucks is fair pricing as they seem to be charging around $5 or $6 in American dollars to use one machine. In Japan it's between 200-400 yen to use a machine, that's well 400 yen = $2.54  right now...so, not cool.
