Japan exclusive Hello Kitty Nanoblock JPY2079
Comments:
Not personally fan of Hello Kitty (although I'm sure there are plenty out there) but had to get the limited edition Nanoblock for my niece to add to her collection.  There was the mini version available at the Nanoblock store at Skytree Solamachi but this larger boxed version looks a lot nicer.

Skytree store exclusive bear bricks
Comments:
I have a personal miniature Bearbrick collection so I spent quite a bit of time hanging out at this store trying to figure out the few worthwhile ones to buy out of the numerous versions here.  Unfortunately the Skytree Bearbricks were only available in the bigger sizes so I didn't get that version.

Extensive Bearbrick editions to choose from...even more versions inside the store

Comments:
Fun shop to browse in if you're a Calbee fan.
Revisited this place in March this year and found almost all products were different to what they had a year ago.  Guess it makes it all worthwhile to stop by each Tokyo trip to pick up the latest Calbee goodies.

first visit in Jan 2012

1F

can order freshly made chips here

various toppings available for ordering (either thin or thick cut)

Calbee frying in action

塩バター薄切り Salted butter thin cut JPY220 (fried to order)

2F

a few tables available on the 2nd floor for dining in

korean seaweed-flavoured Jagariko, and Jagariko plastic lids - now these are useful to seal the cup when you can't finish the whole Jagariko

salted rice chips (left) which tastes a bit like the crisps you sometimes get in chinese congee, and sweet potato chips (right)

vegetable chips

Jagariko mini packs - (left to right) chicken wing, takoyaki, curry flavour

check this out - a personal chip tong! can also use to seal the chip packet

picked these up on my Mar 2013 revisit - different flavoured mini shrimp crackers

and also these Sweet Potato fries - yum!

(ロイスのチョコ味) Royce chocolate chips (right) - yummy as expected (ヒーハー！！W) Hi-ha W chips (left) - not sure what this actually a was but the found the seasoning a bit nose choking
