Shops in Akihabara where you might be able to buy Bottleman, which keeps selling out

Have you gotten your hands on Bottleman yet? Bottleman is a battle hobby that is currently extremely popular among adults and scalpers.
I am having a very hard time getting hold of them, and as expected, my attempts to pre-order the new products online on the 15th of each month always fail, so I am constantly plagued by the anxiety that I may not be able to get my hands on the new Bottleman.
Putting that update aside, let's introduce the stores in Akihabara that sell Bottleman.

Here is the article I wrote about Bottleman:

Cap Revolution Bottleman Toy Review: A Popular Hobby That Keeps Selling Out

Akihabara store selling new Bottleman

Buy a new product. This is a common practice when purchasing a product, but Bottleman is currently in short supply, making it difficult to "buy a new product."
However, it seems that they restock frequently, so if you visit the store often, there is a good chance that you will be able to purchase it.

Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Akiba - On sale on the 6th floor

I've only ever seen the "Digital Battle Set" for sale, but it seems they restock it regularly.
If you want one, it might be a good idea to check it out regularly.
The toy section will be on the 6th floor, but it is unclear where it will be located.
By the way, the "Digital Battle Set" was placed at the cash register counter.
Apparently only a few units were in stock at the time of the first release, and it depends on future supply, but based on past performance, it might be a bit much to line up to buy a new product on its release date.

Bic Camera AKIBA - On sale on the 7th floor?

Although I have never actually seen it for sale, there have been reports of people purchasing it at this store.
By the way, the toy section is on the 7th floor, and it takes quite a while to go up the escalator, so we recommend using the elevator.
Like Bottleman, Takara Tomy also sells Beyblade, a hobby product, so it's likely that the products are being sold in that category.

Yellow Submarine Akihabara Main Store Mint - Digital Battle Set Sales Confirmed

Yellow Submarine Akihabara Main Store Mint, a hobby shop located in Radio Kaikan.
The store also sells Takatomi products from the CoroCoro Hobby series, such as Beyblade and Zoids, and we were able to see them selling "digital battle sets."
That means other Bottleman items must have arrived as well!!

Hobby Station Akihabara Station Store - Radio Hall 2nd Floor

Hobby Station is a card shop with several locations in Akihabara.
This is a store on the second floor of Radio Kaikan.

This shop, which has a large sign advertising the purchase of Bottleman, naturally also sells Bottleman, which are displayed in a showcase alongside Beyblades.
It's not cheap because it's second-hand, it's just a premium price.
The selling prices start from about 1.5 times the list price, and the vertical-type dog-shaped Bottleman "Wonder Grape" was a little more expensive than the others.
It's true that this "Wonder Grape" is highly finished and the most fun to play with, but it seems to be one of the Bottleman items that is rarely re-released, so that's probably why it's a little more expensive.

If you would like to know more about Wonder Grape, please refer to the following page.

Bottleman Wonder Grape Review: The vertical shot type is highly refined

Available at Lashinbang Akihabara New Building - 1st floor

Located on the first and second floors of Akiba Cultures Zone is Lashinban, which sells second-hand hobby goods and doujinshi.

Bottleman is sold here on the first floor as second-hand, unopened items, but be aware that they are priced at roughly 1 times the retail price.
If you absolutely need it now, go ahead.

It's hard to get a Bottleman at the regular price in Akihabara

So far, we have introduced several stores that sell Bottleman, but as of January 2021, it seems difficult to get Bottleman other than the "Digital Battle Set" at the retail price or less in Akihabara.
If you are suddenly faced with an urgent need for a Bottleman, such as being challenged to a duel by a Bottle Butler, you can purchase one at a second-hand shop, although it will be more expensive.

Having written this much, I realize that even if you come all the way to Akihabara, there aren't many Bottleman products for sale, so it might be better to explore your local area.
