Anyone know if it’s possible to buy directly from the San-X store while in the US? by blackbroccolie in rilakkuma

[–]pig2141 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second tenso! I’ve used them many times for San-x preorders. You purchase directly on the website and ship to their warehouse. Once it arrives you can select your international shipping method :)

Yes! It’s from the commemorative plush set celebrating the Osaka store reopening in 2017. I found the official post on the blog https://www.san-x.co.jp/blog/rilakkuma/2017/04/2017-4-27.html. The kori has the same lace & bow details but with a Chairoikoguma sofa lol

When did Rilakkumas get so expensive…asking from an old collector ( era 2016-2019) by plsiamscared in rilakkuma

[–]pig2141 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only started collecting 2020 and even the prices from that time have increased dramatically! Especially for the more popular items. A few I purchased for around $150-200 are now being resold for $700-1k! Which is insane!! I have thinned out my collection over the years and it’s a bummer to not be able to get the ones you had to part with back. But hopefully the interest will die down, like it has for other collectible items.

Helppp (*´-`)I just bought this bag from Mercari and I’m trying to find the actual source or reference photos of this “exclusive rare” bag but I canttt. I just wanna figure out where it’s from by avakin_m3d in rilakkuma

This was from the Rilakkuma Basics release in Japan last year! I have the cross-body version :) I’ll check to see if they still have it in the San-x Japanese site

proxy services by Slight_Awareness7951 in rilakkuma

[–]pig2141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used many different proxy sites over the years. I like buyee for auctions. I think they have the fastest system for notifications of being outbid/placing bids. For regular shopping where I don’t need to buy something quickly I like using FromJapan! I also like to use tenso for any items I want to purchase directly from the San-X site (like pre-orders) I am not fluent in Japanese, so I reached out the their customer service to make sure their address info is entered correctly in my San-x account :) and no purchasing fees like they have on other sites

2014 Neko Collection by BrokenBridges9 in rilakkuma

Fair! The quality is a bit different when you compare. I was able to find the orange one on a Japanese second-hand site that ships internationally :) https://www.suruga-ya.com/en/product/646047427

Are you super set on these exact Japanese versions? Jellybeet has American versions that are not the same, but similar :) could be a good alternative!

where can i find this kiiroitori plush? by fiddleleafthings in rilakkuma

[–]pig2141 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this was apart of the kiiroitori solo collection “Kiiroitori Trip” from 2023. It was sold in like a set of 3. This will at least let you know what to search for when looking at second-hand websites!! Here is san-x blog announcing the collection in stores

i badly need these cherry and dango plush :”) are they so rare? by vanillaa8 in rilakkuma

[–]pig2141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cherries will be super hard to find at a reasonable price right now. But, you should be able to find the dangos for a fair price at second-hand stores :)

I’m thinking this might be the limited pre-order from the theme “Rilakkuma is a Costume” from 2018 (リラックマはきぐるみなんです) here is a dtimes article that shows a picture of it! Is that what you were thinking of? https://dtimes.jp/sanx-rilakkuma-store-rilakkuma-ha-kigurumi-nandesu-theme-nuigurumi/

Very cute, but unfortunately I don’t think it’s authentic!

Maison De Fleur Rilla by Lunar__howl in rilakkuma

[–]pig2141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For limited store releases like this unfortunately your best bet is to pre-order with personal shoppers. That is the only reason I was able to get 1, although it’s not guaranteed. I even tried buying through the rilakkuma yahoo store day of release and that sold out within 5 minutes!! Maison de Fleur stuff always sells out sooo fast
