Reader’s Question:
Did anyone manage to buy the My Hero Academia collaboration items at Yodobashi Camera (light color style)? In Umeda, all the can badges sold out in just 30 minutes. Wasn’t the quantity too low? I also noticed that there aren’t many available on Mercari. Is it the same for
you all? When do you think the next restock will be? I need to know urgently.
Chasing My Hero Academia Merchandise Madness
So, let me tell you about my recent adventure hunting down some My Hero Academia collaboration items at Yodobashi Camera. I had heard whispers about these limited-edition can badges, and I was feeling the thrill of the chase. You know how it is—the excitement builds up, and you just can’t wait to get your hands on some exclusive goodies! I made my way to the Umeda location, and as I arrived, I could feel the energy buzzing in the air. But let me tell you, it was a bit of a letdown. I got there bright and early, thinking I was ahead of the game, but I quickly realized I was in for a surprise. The can badges had sold out in just 30 minutes! Can you believe that? I mean, I thought I was early enough to snag a few, but nope! It felt like a scene straight out of a comedy sketch, where everyone is scrambling for the last piece of pizza at a party. I chatted with a couple of folks who were there, and they shared that the stock was ridiculously low. One person mentioned that only Ochako had some left, while everything else was gone. It was like a game of musical chairs but with anime merch! They said the initial shipment was so small that it was gone before most people could even think about it. Talk about a letdown! As I walked around, I noticed there weren’t many items popping up on Mercari either. It was almost as if they had vanished into thin air! I mean, who’d have thought that everyone would be so desperate for these can badges? It got me thinking about how sometimes the things we love become these hot commodities that everyone wants, and suddenly you’re left scrambling for the scraps. Now, I did hear that there might be a little stock available in the Kansai region, so if you’re nearby, it might be worth checking out. I even considered asking a store employee for help, but the thought of a language barrier made me second-guess myself. I didn’t want to end up in a situation where I was mispronouncing “Uraraka” and getting a confused look in return! I can’t help but reflect on how much fun these little hunts can be, even if they end up in disappointment. The thrill of the chase and the camaraderie with fellow fans make it all worthwhile, right? Plus, I indulged in way too many snacks while I was out there, which always makes for a good time—because who doesn’t love a little munching while on a quest? So, if you’ve had any similar experiences or have tips on where to find these elusive items, drop your stories in the comments! I’d love to hear how your own hunts have gone or any funny moments that happened along the way. Happy hunting, everyone!
