Gachapon Toys Gradually Going Up in Price

When the consumer tax went from 300 yen to 400 yen, there was a fear that it was going to kill gachapon because these coin-operated machines cannot really increase their price by 2%.

So started the pricing point of 400 yen gachapon toys!

Until recently, I have only seen 200 yen, 300 yen and the occasionally rare 500 yen (usually super high quality Gundam toys).

With the new 400 yen toys, which is still not common yet, the quality is also pretty good, but I can also see this to start to become a new common and 200 yen ones start to fade away...
