Sydney Kinokuniya

Hey there! I live in sydney too and love kinokuniya when i'm at city and need a read. So jealous of your two cameras cos they are something i would die for. For otaku stuff, if you go to hobbyco at QVB they will have nendoroids and figures, the stuff comes and goes every few weeks which made me so dissapointed when i missed out on tsumugi nendo ;-; theres also a place at market city chinatown on level 1 called game infinity which has some stuff. they had a psvita import in a display case last week @__@

i dont really recommend you to buy figurines from shops in sydney tho.. better off buying from the net... much cheaper and some shops sells fake as well...

but ya... kinokuniya is great place to get some great books~~ i go there often to usually pick up a few light novel or a compace or newtype~~

*sigh* i cant believe that they have much better supplies than these oldies shops in Melbourne . . .sucks to be me :(

aww x.x i wish there were shops like this near me...all the ones i know about dont sell that much x.x they have small stock though they will sometimes special order things x.x but not often. Your so lucky, Though for figures the stores here are good xD hehe would be nice to get both manga + figures in BIG quantity's

I think I just died and went to Heaven.

I buy manga and ny IT books from that store also. They have the best range of Japanese content in Sydney and, you can also use their computers to search for something in the system that they don't have in stock, but can be ordered in for you.

Sadly there are very few stores, with a decent stock of merchandise, that I'm aware of in Sydney. Given the strength of our dollar, you'd have access to a much wider range of goods and for a great deal less online. Even with shipping everything would still be a good deal cheaper.

I attend every Anime con in Sydney and rule of thumb, for their larger PVC merchandise, is that they are generally double or triple the price of something bought from one of the stores advertised on Figure.fm's banners. That said, conventions would be the only decently concentrated source I can think of for merchandise in Sydney.

there is a store called "anime at abbotsford" that sells figures, no bootlegs. You can go to Supanova or SMASH! conventions for other anime merch ..i'd say Animania too but its overrun by bootlegs ^^"..

Though i agree that its better to buy online.

This is such an awesome place to make your credit card get sore XD

Love that store! but sadly their translated manga section is only small :s but...ive never really looked into great detail at their japanese section...Also do u know if they sell anime artbooks there? I've only seen the handful of artbooks they have displayed in the translated manga section...i was wondering if there is anymore around the store?

omg I miss kinokuniya so badly T_T.I can barely find a good amount of translated manga here. Especially since I live in a quite small town..must be sucks to be me ^q^!Anyway,kinokuniya is my fav place every time I went to asia^^

Always love to spend some times in a book store like this to look around what they have each month :)

Kinokuniya is ok for Jap and chinese mangas. But for english ones they are way over priced. I just order my english mangas from bookdepository. Delivered for 25-50% cheaper than Kinokuniya.

breathtaking... *_*..., my heart skip a beat.

Sadly I'm from another state, so no Kinokuniya here^^" If they had one here, I'd visit daily and probably buy something weekly^^"

Thanks for taking the pictures!
