They also released the Trainer Collection: Heroine XY today- so there was lots of cute goodies scattered around.

We also got a sneak peek of next month’s Monthly Pikachu! July features Pikachu dressed up in his festival outfit- complete with a little fan. We’re starting to take pre-orders now.

Also this week there were two announcements:

Firstly, we have a preview of the Pokemon Time Eeveelutions goods which are due out on June 6th. Once there is a full merchandise list, we’ll be posting them.

Also, to celebrate the new Pokemon Center being opened in Hiroshima, Pokemon posted this image of three Pikachus dressed like Magikarp, Gyarados & shiny Gyarados (the Hiroshima Pokemon Center’s mascot)! Will they get the same treatment of goods as Pikazard? Hopefully!

Pikazards & New Products!

Welcome to Hoshiiya!  いらっしゃいませ

Last Saturday was the re-release date for the Pokemon MegaTokyo Pikazards! After a quick stop for coffee, we arrived at the Pokemon Center shortly after 6am.

Even though it was still super early, as expected, people had been camping out! As we waited, the line slowly grew. By the time the Center was ready to open, there were probably close to 250 people in line!

150429-2

The shutters were opened & inside were neat stacks of Pikazards, ready to find their new trainers. Unfortunately they didn’t stay neat for very long…

When the doors opened, there wasn’t a stampede like the previous weekend, but it got really chaotic really fast. People were pushing to get to whole shelves & dumping them in their baskets. Everyone seemed to be there with the purpose of getting as many Pikazards as possible.

Working together with friends, we managed to get all YOUR Pikazards though!

Three big bags full of Pikazards to be sent to their new homes!

The stock emptied pretty fast (even though the Center’s staff were trying their best to replenish it). At one point there was a long queue snaked around the store to get the large 55cm Pikazard (he sold out within the first hour)! You even had to wait to get into the Center, as after the initial rush, they began limiting the amount of customers in the shop.

It might seem like a lot of craziness over a toy, but he’s just too cute.

We’re predicting the next busy release will be in June because of:

Stay tuned, we’ll be accepting pre-orders for this new collection once the item list is released in late May!


••NEW PRODUCTS!••


Pokemon 

We still have a few Pikazards in stock- these are leftover from the initial release last weekend. As of right now, we have been told by the Center that the limited Tokyo version is out of stock!

If a big Pikazard really isn’t for you, we also now have a few of the smaller ‘mascot’ Pikazards in stock. They’re currently also back in stock for a limited time.

We also have stocked one of the all-new Ghost-themed bags! Village Vanguard (a store similar to the American chain “Spencers”) has teamed up with Pokemon to release these exclusive spooky tote bags!

Digimon Adventure

You’ve told us you wanted Digimon Adventure, and being huge fans ourselves, we completely agreed! We’ve managed to get our hands on a box of these Digimon Adventure Character Posters!

They’re blind boxed, but unlike a lot of ‘blind box’ goods, there’s no bad gets!

We’ve also listed two Digimon Adventure keychains!

Welcome to Hoshiiya!  いらっしゃいませ

news-banner

Over the past few weeks we’ve been getting ready to launch, so there’s quite a few new products in stock as well as items we’re taking pre-orders for!


Pokemon 

The Pikazard plush originally offered at the launch of the Pokemon Center MegaTokyo is being re-released at the end of this week, so anyone who would like one has a few days to secure a pickup! (We are unsure how the Center is going to handle this re-release, so orders may stop at midnight (Japan time) on the 25th!!)

Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo Pikazard Plush

We managed to get a few items from the recent 「PIKACHU」 and 「Pikachu in the Farm」 sets released at the Pokemon Center this past weekend, so be sure to check them out!

Pokemon Center (April 18th)

These items were especially popular- so much so that they opened early and there was stampede into the Center!

Have you heard of 「Monthly Pikachu」? It’s a set of Pikachu plushies that are currently being released in the Pokemon Centers (and stores) across Japan! In April we saw Businesschu, May was Kid’s Day Pikachu and now for June we’re going to have a Rain-chu!

Monthly Pikachu: June Rain-chu

He’ll be released May 16th & we are currently taking preorders to do pickups for him!

We’re currently considering expanding our plush inventory, so it’s up for you to decide! Tell us what kind of plush you’d like stocked!

Yowamushi Pedal

We have a few remaining stock from the Lawson Campaign back in February!

Yowamushi Pedal: Lawson Promo Charms

These items were only available if you bought certain amounts of specially marked items. This campaign was so popular that I had to go to nearly a dozen Lawsons to find any stock only a few hours after it started!

Yowamushi Pedal is currently having frequent kujis and campaigns, so there’s definitely going to be some new stock soon!


Free!

Currently we have a few Free! BL doujinshis in stock.

Free! Rubber Straps

We also have some collectable rubber straps!


These are just some highlights of items that we’ve stocked at launch- There’s more to explore on the aisles!
