How lucky are the themed retro video game lucky bags from this shop in the Tokyo boonies? Love, conquest, existence, and gatherings. When it comes to shopping for retro video games, you might think your best bet is to scour the back alleys of Tokyo’s Akihabara or another one of Japan’s major urban city centers. However, some of the best bargains are hidden way outside of downtown, out in the countryside-adjacent suburbs […]

Things get heavy with the Gold Lucky Bag from Village Vanguard All that is gold does not glitter. Village Vanguard is a popular chain of novelty goods stores often found in Japanese shopping malls.

The price is fixed at a uniform 12,345 yen (US$79), which includes tax and the cost of shipping, but […]
