ABOUT THIS PLACE

TRADER Main Store

Explore games and secondhand figures by floor at TRADER’s main store. Figures occupy floors 3–5 and character goods floor 4; check whether each item is new or used.

    Main store or Store No. 2?

    The store visited on this journey is the main branch at 4-2-1 Sotokanda. TRADER’s Store No. 2 has a different address and floor layout, so check that your map names the main store. It is accessible from both JR Akihabara Station’s Electric Town Exit and Tokyo Metro Suehirocho Station.

    Figures on floors 3, 4 and 5

    The official product guide places figures on floors 3, 4 and 5, with plastic models and character goods on floor 4. Include floor 4 if you are looking for both figures and smaller character accessories. Video games are listed on floors 1 and 2, and video media on floor 2.

    Items without a “new” label

    The official guide states that merchandise is generally secondhand unless marked as new. A clean appearance or intact box does not establish that an item is new. Read the condition, accessories and packaging notes for each product, and ask staff about any unclear descriptions before paying.

    Compare the same edition

    Prices vary with the manufacturer, edition, size and condition, even for the same character. For used goods, compare completeness and condition rather than simply choosing the lowest price. Stock photographed in 2025 is not a current inventory list; check the exact product you want.
