The UK is a ton cheaper for someone from the US to visit at present, thanks to Brexit taking 40 cents off the value of each pound. Sigh. But that's another matter.
Every time I go to that store there's something different. Today it was Ditto-ed pokemon en masse ( basically a whole lot of pokemon merch of different characters but with a goofy Ditto face).
Depending on what you want to see UK is cheaper, but overall Japan is cheaper in my budget with the things I want to visit. Vs UK which there are many more things I want to see. Majority of my family history is all over UK so I'd probably want to check out a few cemeteries/libraries etc for research. Where in Japan I have less of a tie to so less things on the bucket list. Though I think I'd gain like 15 lbs going to Japan just from their food haha.
Japanese food <3
It would depend on where in the country, to be honest. London and the South East is more expensive than the rest of the country.
Also, someone mentioned Rockruff earlier in the thread. Last time I went, they'd got a big bin of some new cutesy Rockruff plush with a big head and little body. I think he's going to be popular for a while.
@Carrehz - I did get an Oddish plush in Tokyo but I posted her home so I don't have a photo. Here the best I managed was what I am calling Dittoplume - Ditto vileplume keychain. She has a goofy face. She is also now in the post home, though.
