Reader’s Question:
I need help urgently! I have a question about the special edition of “Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun” and the Ifmofia set. I can’t use the pay-later option at Animate for some reason, and I can’t use a credit card since I’m still in high school. I’m trying to
buy the special edition Animate set. Can I purchase it in-store, or is it only available online?
Navigating the Purchase of Special Edition Merchandise: A Personal Tale
Ah, the thrill of collecting special edition merchandise! It takes me back to my own university days when I was fervently hunting for rare comic books. There’s something so exhilarating about unearthing that one elusive item that completes your collection. So, let’s dive into the query about the special edition of “Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun” and the Ifmofia set. It seems our reader is caught in a bit of a bind with payment options. I can totally relate to the frustration of not being able to utilize all the payment methods available, especially when you’re in high school and still navigating the financial landscape. From what I gather, the special edition Animate set is indeed available for purchase in-store, which is great news! I remember when I decided to visit my local anime shop after hearing about a limited edition figure. I arrived a bit too early, practically bouncing on my heels in anticipation. As I waited, I indulged in a snack that, let’s be honest, might have been a bit too sugary—sugar and excitement are a deadly combo. But the moment I stepped inside and saw that figure on the shelf, it was all worth it! Now, regarding the payment situation—it’s essential to act quickly if you’re planning to reserve the item in-store. Stores can sometimes run out of these limited editions faster than you can say “anime merchandise.” I advise checking with the store beforehand to confirm they can reserve it for you. Another point to consider is that while Animate’s online store may have various payment options, it’s not always guaranteed that every item qualifies for the pay-later option. Some items, particularly popular ones, might be restricted to credit card payments only. It’s a little quirk of the system that can catch you off guard. Reflecting on this, it’s a reminder of the little challenges we face as collectors. Whether it’s figuring out payment methods or rushing to a store just in time, each experience adds a layer to our passion for collecting. I’d love to hear from you!
