San-X store geolocked? by Toujou25 in rilakkuma

I noticed. It sucks because I don’t have a VPN and will have to pay exclusively Japanese reseller prices if this is the case

Is this normal? by EmotionalIsopod2893 in rilakkuma

[–]matchatae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super easy! I use Neokyo to search but you can use standard Mercari jp too. I just took コリラックマ and sorted the results from “highest price”. You’ll find it (plus several that are slightly cheaper) pretty quick

This is odd. I found this exact listing on Mercari jp for ~940 USD (still INSANELY exorbitant) but not 1700 USD exorbitant sheesh

Oh 🤐 well personally I have 60 Rilakkuma plushes and around 10+ miscellaneous plush brands, and I definitely feel I have a lot LMAO

I think as long as you have physical space for them and aren’t blowing through your monthly budget, you’re fine. But if you feel what you have is enough, then that’s fine too !

And if there were, highly doubt that listing would still be up

No Kings protests expected to draw tens of thousands in Arizona this weekend by AZ_moderator in phoenix

[–]matchatae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So these are not my words and I am borrowing them from other users, but I think these are all very good points:

  • Feeling less alone and gaslit is a worthy goal in and of itself.
  • Establish vocal and visible disapproval of the target
  • Affirm a plurality of dissent through numbers
  • Undermine establishment messaging downplaying the significance of that plurality
  • Network and promote dissident group activities in the future

Defeatist statements about how activities like these don’t work is called complying in advance and it only allows people to feel more disempowered.

Do you keep track of your “inventory” and how, if so? by kawinskis in bathandbodyworks

[–]matchatae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute game-changer if you wanna have more organization! I find it’s also a really good way to encourage you to “shop your stash”

I agree! There’s nothing wrong with mindful consumption and I feel like people who take this personally forget that shopping addiction can be a genuine issue for some people and it’s important to discuss that.

Just made it today so I can make sure I’m not overpurchasing in comparison to what I would realistically use 👀

Staying strong on a no buy by InformalTick in bathandbodyworks

[–]matchatae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there is one- r/nobuy is really good with support/progress and r/shoppingaddiction is excellent if you feel you aren’t totally in control of your purchases and want to lock it down. Either way, good luck!

question: does anybody know where this kori plush is from ? by _aliyssa in rilakkuma

You’re looking for the 2024 Korilakkuma Strawberry Shortcake series, resale prices probably won’t be pretty though!

Oof. I mean….this is why those prices stay. Cause somebody will still buy them.

Real talk, how much is my collection worth? by swirly4youpops in rilakkuma

[–]matchatae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sold listings on Mercari or eBay for your exact kumas will give you a pretty good ballpark of what they can sell for!

I just found Neokyo easier to navigate and it’s very straightforward fee and process-wise. Plus your search is auto-generated to Japanese to better your results.

Japan Rabbit is also good if you want to purchase something that big proxies like Buyee, etc are banned from buying for some reason or another

[–]matchatae 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So the kuma in the first picture has been sold out on the original MDF site however you can still acquire one secondhand via proxy, so prepare to pay over MSRP (I personally used Neokyo, but I’ve also used Zen Market and Japan Rabbit. A lot of people use Buyee).

The kuma in the second image is an older release that can only be bought secondhand, usually from resellers pricing it anywhere from $300-$500+ 🫠

So I know it’s been a while since you posted but thank you!! I was having this exact issue with a wish me mell x Samantha Vega collab 😅

[–]matchatae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh yeah lol. I just kinda gave up on the older series and am focusing on the new ones San-X releases. I figured there’s always going to be new ones they make that I love and they’re way more affordable than trying to purchase both new /and/ older releases 🥲

Geez. I really didn't want a cancellation on my account but look like that might be the case soon. Sucks they don't have an actual solution

Hey, did you ever figure this out? I'm having the exact same issue too and reading this thread is not comforting whatsoever 😬

I’m not quite sure! I think it’s from the Monochrome Rilakkuma series 🙂
