'Video Tour' of Nakano Broadway and Mandarake
If you are an Otaku, other than Akihabara, chances are you've probably heard of Nakano Broadway, home of Mandarake. For those of you who don't know, Mandarake has a whole series of shops with each one dealing with a different type of good. These shops have a ton of second hand stuff that one can usually find terrific treasures at amazing prices. Usually, the 'opened/used before' item will yield a lower price. Of course, there were other dealers there selling their wares.
The Singapore equivalent of Nakano Broadway would be China Square Central, just about 7459235326 times more awesome. Or was it 7459235327 times?

Nice video:) Did you take it in winter?
a hidden cam?
I miss Tokyo so much T_T - And heh, no need to hide your camera, i know i spammed mine and took photos every second when i was there 2 months ago.
Well, didn't want awkward stares for brandishing my camera in front of people's faces. (^.^) I have learnt from experience that some can be sensitive. Besides, we weren't allowed to take pictures at certain stores.
True, but then you go to ninja mode and keep on going ;]
I saw Alter Fate Sonic lol :o
owah if i go there i would have no idea which shop i want to spend my zennies at /@_@
Nice, I see Hobby Japan exclusive Rider Swimsuit Surfer. Oh, and Max Factory Kureha in the bottom shelf too.
I think I'll go broke very quickly if I were at the store.
That place is awesome! I can't believe I didn't go there on my last trip! Gotta put it at the top of the list for next trip
Group of us were there all day today. it was awesome.
This place is figure heaven.
I wouldn't know what to buy there! I'd get desperated! xD
A must-go, definitely. Maybe I should research how to get there if I go to Japan someday. ^^
Amazing to see Megahouse's Sailor Moon line. A single PVC is upwards of $150 on Ebay, and it looks like Mandarake has them listed for 9000 yen each.
