Oh, they sell cosplay stuff too. In fact, one of the UFO catchers had goth loli dresses as prizes. Seems like anything goes into UFO catchers. Eventually, they'll have used panties as prizes. =S
Anyway, back to the point. The stuff there were pretty much typical. Almost all of them were for girls. There were tons of dresses on display, in the shops that sold them. Some dresses sold for as little as 2000 yen, but they weren't anime or manga exclusive. Some rarer ones were more expensive. I saw a brand new dress outfit for some new anime, selling for 60000+ yen. They sell cosplay outfits for guys too, but in lesser quantity, like just a small section. I noted that they sold the shinigami outfits from Bleach. Saw it in more than one shop, so I assume it isn't exclusive. The outfit cost around 10000 yen, approx S$130. I would have liked a shinigami outfit, but not enough to pay 10000 yen for it.
Some shops also sell airguns. They come with ball pellets to shoot. One of them came with what looked like real bullets. Don't ask me... maybe they were replicas? The guns looked like the real deal. In fact, they just might be. Not sure if Japan has laws on carrying real firearms. They had removable magazines which looked authentic. Protective glasses and scopes were sold as well. The scopes ranged(haha?) from iron sights to sniper scopes, the ginormous ones. Considering their prices, I think they work fairly well too.
Well, thats all for now. Will post more when I remember.
