So I really like Gachapons, I think they look cool, I think the little capsules look cool, and I think the toys inside of them look cool, But I also really like how they all look together. Is it possible to collect Gachapon Machines themselves? What should I fill these machines with?
i know of tiny desktop sized gashapon that can be purchased at various sites, as for what to fill them with, maybe feel good advices?
>>5310316

I also tried out the animal crossing one, and only got 2 of the same shitty purple duck, and some mini furniture.
I still have my soft New Super Mario Bros keychain thingies too.
>>5310287
i still want this pug bun
>>5310287
I have my own toy capsule machine. He talks and lights up.
I customised a Mutant Mania front card and filled with my doubles.
>>5310287
I have a scrapyard gashapon machine i got for 20$, still waiting for restoration.
only break is the lock on the coin door.
He says "Hi my name is Orgg and I'm filled with great toys" and a little song plays and PLOPP! a capsule drops down.
Something I saw recently on 2chan. No idea how to get them though.
>>5313995
>>5313995
what the hell, i need this right now
no name?
Hamsters to hang on things I guess because japan
>>5314007
or snack hamsters?
>>5314002
None that I could gather. It's by Epoch and from what I got from the thread, it's called something like 'Naked/Elementary body and Go-Kart'. 300 yen gets you either a body or a go-kart.
>>5314026
If you find out how to get them, let the rest of us know, eh? One more.
Also, apparently Epoch's got other gacha lines that are 1/18-ish to be compatible with these to boot.
Long time ago i ran into some mini pellet guns that actually shot out stuff. I had a multi chambered golden mini gun
>>5310287
was trying to get sazabi, and i rolled 4 nu gundams instead... fucking hell
atleast i rolled crossbone on my last attempt
>>5314058
crossbone x2 is pretty cool, the cloak comes off
>>5310287
SO, HOW MUCH OF YOUR SOUL ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP FOR THAT FIGURE YOU WANT-GACHA?
Man, Japan gets all the cool stuff. Capsule machines here in the US just give you a shitty plastic ring or cheap ass necklace or some crap for 50 cents.
>>5314075
I HATE YOU GACHA SPIRIT
GIVE ME THE SHIT I WANT!
>>5310376
that's amazing, where'd you get it?
>>5314038
Those bears are pretty cute.
There used to be these yellow colored machines here in Ohio that cost a buck (four quarters) and had decent figures. There were little Lilo and Stitch ones at this one grocery store that were amazing and another had Pokemon figures. Last time I saw them though they had "ball" Toys, one was South Park and another was Marvel. I think you could build a figure but it looked like mostly heads in the machine.
http://epoch.jp/rc/capsule/
found the site , but youd probably have to get them by a proxy like FromJapan or something similar
>>5314627
Rakuten most likely to have them found the cat ones http://item.rakuten.co.jp/auc-toysanta/g-38lz000fjw-007/?scid=af_pc_etc&sc2id=247567789
>>5314543
I've seen those toys, though not in machines. Way they worked is that the head was the capsule, and you pop it open for the body and assemble the figure.
>>5314025
>Naked/Elementary body
yep not going to google that
>>5310373
>Ouya
Anon, I'm so sorry for you

It's in scale with other gachapon collections already out there, which is very clever. I want one now.
>>5314627
shit man, now i totally need this
my old collection
>>5315109
Going to look through sites but I remember someone linking a spot that sold various Gachapon items without a need for proxy.
I distinctly remember the thread using the Laptop cats Gachapon as the OP.
I want to order these but my detolf's gacha shelf just filled up. Doushio
>>5314038
Oh shit, those squatting delinquents
>>5314038
What is that white figure sitting in the chair?
>>5318267
I found place selling them, but only a full set (40 pieces) including the fairly useless racing karts.
At 8424y it's a bit steep...
http://gacha-gacha.net/toy/epc/4519
>>5318267
They're not out yet.
They're gashapon, which never has a good distribution through online stores for reasons.
Our best bet currently is that it filters into ebay
>>5318277
>not wanting a 20-car fleet of go-karts
You disgust me.
Also:
>lists price at 7400 JPY, which is about 65 bucks
>site is informative only, actual buy-site is elsewhere
>requires a proxy buyer
>assuming that the site isn't exclusively for retail outlets, assuming Japan has shit like retail/wholesale distinction to begin with.
>>5318279
>lists price at 7400 JPY, which is about 65 bucks
No, it's 7800 (+tax = 8424) and it's the same on the actual buy-site:
http://www.a-muzu.com/products/list.php?name=C4178
>requires a proxy buyer
What? Why?
>assuming that the site isn't exclusively for retail outlets
Seems to be open for anyone who are willing to buy wholesale units.
>>5318293
Ah, apologies on the price thing, too used to Amiami at this point. I see that the site accepts Visa/Mastercard, but as I don't see an English option or a 'we ship worldwide', I'm assuming that it's a Japan-address situation. If you've navigated the moon successfully to get to a country listing, kudos.
here they are for sale on rakuten. search by new arrivals . to see latest ones. Im not sure about shipping price on rakuten.
http://global.rakuten.com/en/search/?k=gashapon&l-id=keyword_suggest
>>5318332
Oh, right. I live in Japan, though, so that's not an issue for me.
If people were interested enough I could buy a set and ship to you.
Would prefer a set of only bodies, though.
>>5318345
I'm not seeing it, m8
Direct link please?
>>5318351
I only need 3 or 4, though (and no karts). How many are you willing to take?
>>5318346
Assuming that it's a completely even assortment, you'd be getting 10 full sets for roughly 10000 yen, meaning that you could sell them for about 1100 yen per set +shipping if you just want to cover costs.
Personally, for 2 vehicles and 2 robots, I'd be fine with 20-25 USD shipped, which according to Google is about 2500-3000 jpy(minus whatever the exchanger's fee is). If that sounds like it's worth your time, I know you'd get some interested people.
>>5318353
the kart robot isnt out yet, their twitter states that.
heres the ninja though some poses are sold out
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/kidsroom/item/gt5618/
>>5318355
I'm in for 3 white bots, 3 black bots, 2 red karts and 2 grey karts.
>>5318358
>you'd be getting 10 full sets for roughly 10000 yen
What.
One set of 40 pieces is 8424, right? So one capsule is ~211?
I can ship you 2 figures and 2 karts for about 1200, I think.
That still leaves me with a lot of stuff I don't need, though.
>>5318371
40/4 types=10 sets. I'm assuming that shipping from that site adds about 1600 yen, so I just rounded to 10000 to give you a ballpark.
>>5317999
Where can you order these?
Why the hell are you guys doing a split now when it doesn't go up for sale until March?
>>5318657
>he doesn't arrange such things well in advance to accommodate for multiple scheduling issues regarding payments/shipping/problems
But it's not like anyone's paying anyone yet.
>>5318683
Well I'm going to buy a single set alone when it goes up on rakuten because I'm not an idiot
>>5318657
Oh yeah, fuck me, I didn't notice.
I guess we'll just wait a bit then.
>>5314007

Not out til March. Gashapons, so getting them will not be guaranteed unless Amiami or somesuch sees a demand for that sort of product
>>5317832
>that dinosaur
you bought it because of picrelated photos right?
>>5320316
>amiami
Maybe you should read the thread. They'll only be on rakuten.
>>5320488
>unless Amiami or somesuch see a demand for that sort of product
It's rare, but they do bring out gashapons on those sites, but only if there is enough demand, HLJ for example's done a few. You're right that this will likely only end up on Rakuten though.
i think overall i've spend more money on gachapon stuff and candy toys than i have actual toys
>>5321227
Unless the gacha/candy toys are just display-only, they're still toys, anon.
Theres so many different kinds, I just ordered these
epoch, kitan club, and a few others are my favorite manufacturers. I also like panda no ana.
Can more people post their gacha collections please?
>>5320322
where did that guy go
i miss him
i wanna read more of his posts
fucking weird crazy russian man
>>5321992
Wow, I just ordered this set too.
I've wanted a Dogu for years but most figures are ether too expensive, or are from much older sets.
Plus I found out the cute horse is the perfect size for Action 66 figures, which i'm already a fan of.
>>5320322
Nah, but those pics made me smile. I got him cause he's a alright dinosaur with articulation.
>>5327020
any news on new 66?
>>5327505
i only heard that RX might be one of them
but i fear the line might be dead
>>5327003
I found that Chibi Carnage when I went to Japan
AMERICA
FUCK YEAH
>>5329841
Fuck no.
Wrong pic.
>>5329885
I tried deleting it, but I had posted it just before the site had some downtime so it said the post of too old to delete.
That pic was to make fun of some asshole on /tv/ who said Bob Ross was a reddit-tier painter. I misclicked trying to post the Lady Liberty one.
anyway,
I found
Normies.
REEEEEEEEEEEE.
the gaschapon version
>>5327003
western shit pls leave
Actually, speaking of actual machines, I am not sure if my old comic shop still has one of those American Tomy ones that came out about 2000.He might have sold them. I know a friend who does prop stuff at cons has one. He 3D prints and molds stuff to put in them, little darumas or small masks like big ones he makes.
>>5331071
Except that's actually from Japan. I got one while over there. It was in a shop, not from a machine, but it was among other loose gaschapon and blind box stuff.
I remember going to stores that had rows and rows of loose old gaschapon and blind box figures. You pay a bit more most times, but you'd get the one you want. Though sometimes less popular series and older sets were on sale.
>>5331076
comic shit is still western and shouldnt be clogging up space
>>5331065
/r9k/ is almost as bad as Reddit
please leave
>>5331857
is that ivy?
selina is cute
If I made a post outlining how to use FromJapan or shopping services in general, would anyone find it useful?
I've used shopping services for over a year now because I'm a resident seagull (use it for j-fash) but I often add toys onto my orders as well. Have had nothing but pleasant experiences with my shopping.
>>5332475
I would. I've only ordered from amiami.
>>5332483
Alright anon ! I'll get working on it. Sorry if its worded a bit weird when I post it, I'm not the greatest on writing out my thoughts but it will definitely give you the information you need
>>5325649
>where did that guy go
>i miss him
>i wanna read more of his posts
>fucking weird crazy russian man
lol thanks. that was me. I still have that guy as my Dino Bro but didn't made any new photos yet.

>You'll never walk around here with a pocket full of change and an hour to kill

To me it's fascinating seeing American culture filtered through Japanese culture.
>>5332475
is there a schedule to their 5% off sales that they seem to have pretty regularly. They always seem to happen immediately after i've ordered
>>5335834
I need those.
Where to buy?
>>5335834
>Animals have become green plastic soldiers. They are dressed in modern military uniforms.
>>5335901
I have one of those somewhere, I got it from a machine in Nakano a year ago I think.
>>5329878
WHERE CAN I BUY THESE FOR NOT $35 EACH???
>>5336126
Nevermind. I'm retarded. Whole set was $35.
>>5335901
Here you go anon not that exact set: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/kidsroom/item/g6613/

I really want this can anyone help a newbie in where to begin her search?
>>5336273
Check rakuten at: http://global.rakuten.com/en/search/?k=gashapon&l-id=keyword_suggest
Why is Japan so good at making things desirable? You only get bouncy balls and sticky hands from the machines in Australia.
>>5336449
my wife has the bondaged banana she bought from thailand's gashapon
>>5321992
Where did you get 'em? I love dogu and I've wanted a small one for a while.
>>5336768
dude come on
read the thread
>>5336449
You get ball things in Japan too.
>>5336183
Thanks! Any clue for series 1?
>>5337028
... that a nipple ring?
>>5336273
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/hobbyzone/item/22-4934054902194-j00-np/
Or ebay if you just want a single one.
>>5336404
The searching sucks on the site. I suggest using google.
>>5335834
Apparently they have posters.

These are my favorite gachas so far. They sit here on my desk while my wife slowly brings me more home.

>>5342679
For what its worth, these are more like model kits. The Slugs have many small parts to assemble, way more than normal gasha, and all the soldiers are matte orange for painting.
>>5339237
>that little hiding under the toro girl
too cute
>>5314058
are these guys converge or something else? I really want that Xbones
>>5344610
nein
they're called gundam dash
xbones are in wave 2
they're articulated and half the price of converge, but the details are far softer
pic is standing next to the next gashapons
>>5332666
Will look over.
>>5332418
is this from a manga? what title?
>>5346531
nevermind, just read up...
>>5339237
>>5339242
I got one of those "kissing" girls today (pic).
Also have the hamburger, which is lovely.
>>5313999
Oh my god I've seen these. I order gachapon from this place called Candysan. They don't let you pick what you get though. They say it keeps in the spirit of the gachapon, it's all blind pick. But they're only like $1.75 per toy. They had all those accessories for the figures last time I was on there and I was so confused why they had these intricate sets... Never knew there was a figure for them.
>>5310373
where did you get this?
>>5347328
From a guy who fixes/sells old amusement park and arcade machines. Was listed on Etsy and happened to be within driving distance.
>>5346892
>>5347934
That skeleton has a boner.
>>5339237
delusional oneesan is great I have the whole sushi set
I have an entire collection of a box set of Steel Battalion gashapon. I'd be willing to sell them if anyone wants to buy them. They're very finicky and brittle it seems like but they're cool.
There's like 18 of them but some are set duplicates.

>>5323265

I love how Americans go ape shit for Gacha when here in the UK and I guess Europe as a whole, official Gachapon machines are on every street corner and no one really cares about them. In the store where I work we have the usual Hello Kitty, Mario, Pokemon and Animal Crossing keychain/phone charm things at current.
I'm guessing the US does not have actual Gacha machines, but those cheap ass knock off ones.
>>5356990
We're talking about Japan-exclusive gacha series, though. America has the kinds you listed, too.
>>5357035
Which stores? I've never seen Gacha machines in the US.
>>5357322
movie theaters/arcades/malls
asian grocery stores and restaurants
>>5357330
>arcades
Rare thing in America.
>>5360388
they are? I can name a few around me off the top of my head.
>>5360388
Not really?
>>5362448
How much more prevalent are arcades in Europe than they are in America?
>>5362514
Don't know. I did find this. Katsuhiro Harada said the Arcades are quite extinct in the US and Europe.
https://www.vg247.com/2011/03/21/tekken-producer-arcades-are-quite-extinct-in-the-us-and-europe/
>>5364232
So is Asia the only place where they're not dead?
>>5362514
In the UK at least, you will only find arcades in beach towns, holiday camps and some theme parks. That's it. Quite rare.
I am looking at a Hallmark storr and saw this "Ornament Display Base" for "Keepsake Cupcakes". It is half off and seems like it is perfect for gashapon. Just put a sticker or framed label over the cupcakes logo.
>>5366234
bump
>>5355113
how much?
>>5355917
they came in the mail, they're FUCKING GREAT
>>5315094
I just want all bird, jellyfish, and octopus related gachapon. Is that so wrong?
>>5375696
Post collection pics please
>>5315094
Really? $40 for a small portable nes emulator with pinball arcade worked out perfectly for me.
>>5336404
That's so cool.
Of course this one i want is 120$
>>5314038
Anybody know the name of those ninjas in back? I want 'em baaad.
>>5380147
You can crop the image and then use google image search. That's how I found it was Desk Ninja by epoch.
>>5381123
Everything in the pic was by epoch.
>>5381180
Even the clear lego square containers?
>>5381195
how predictable
>>5381209
So they are not made by them? I would like to get some. I guessing they are not made by officially by lego.
>>5381123
Clever thinking! That didn't occur to me. Thanks, man. Guess I'll grab a set one of these days soon. They're even cooler than I thought.
