Today I will talk about one of my favorite stores located in Osaka where you can find thousands of used and new items from anime, tokusatsu, mecha, dramas, toys, and American products at a low price. The famous Admski!
After many disappointments in Akihabara in Greater Tokyo and Nipponbashi in Greater Osaka, I completely gave up on looking for anime products, as their prices were absurd and not advantageous.
When I was visiting a friend in Osaka, he took me to one of the best collectible product stores I found in Japan. The store doesn’t only focus on anime products, but you can find things you can’t even imagine there.
The store ADMSKI is located in Namba, Osaka, specifically in Namba City on 南館B1F (South Building). It is open from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM and has a gigantic collection of used collectible products and some rare and old products still sealed in the box.
There are anime products, nostalgic items, toys, antiques, and many others that form a mountain of merchandise inside and outside the store. In my opinion, it was the largest store of its kind that I found in Japan.
In this store, you can find everything, even old records and magazines, bicycles, large figurines, old game cartridges, lamps, cassette tapes, and an infinite number of unimaginable products.
CHOOSING PACKAGES at a low price
In this store, you have the chance to literally find a package of products that are practically free. They usually take used products that are not selling and make a package with several products and sell it for low prices like 300 yen.
I couldn’t believe it when I got 300 yen in a bag with more than 30 buttons, keychains, and various items of characters from Psycho Pass, Yowamushi Pedal, and other animes. A single keychain of that type can cost more than 300 yen individually.
I also bought Action Figures for only 100 and 200 yen, and a medium-sized Suzumiya Haruhi for just 500 yen. Things that in normal stores could cost around 1000 to 3000 yen.
The ADMSKI store has many products at normal prices, but if you look closely, you will find many things on sale or practically free. Especially if you are looking for old items, marvel, DC, mecha, cars, or tokusatsu.
If you are looking for used manga, games, and other electronic products at a low price, I also recommend the stores BookOff and HardOff spread throughout Japan. Just search on Google Maps to find one of these stores.
If you are in the Namba area, visiting the ADMSKI store is a must. You will get lost and spend hours rummaging and looking for interesting things to buy.
To finish, I will leave a video below showing a bit of the products from the store. Note that the video is focused on ametoi [アメトイ] American toys like superheroes and others. Only a few segments are from the ADMSKI store.
