mmm..where do I start?
Will leave the choice of Pocky up to you of course!

Based on prices above, would spend about AU30-40/YEN 25,000-30,000 to get 10-13 boxes of Pocky plus some crunky.
Factor in postage+ a small gift for you as Im sure you can use some more Rilakkuma(!!!), Im guessing AU$65-75 should hopefully cover it!

Will get back to you in the New Year if that’s OK? (kind of distracted atm with a new baby on the way)

Seriously, you should hone in on J-Lists action here!!
My Rilakkuna that was given to me by the staff at one of the Lawson’s in Kyoto!

mmmmm…will get back to you but start thinking about a mixture of pocky types for me!! (and some crunky….).

based on the prices above, would be willing to spend between AU$30-40 dollars (YEN 25,000-30,000??) on ‘stuff’+postage+a thankyou gift for yourself as Im sure you can use some more Rilakkuma!!) (maybe AU$60-70 in total??) which should get me 10-12 boxes of pocky+ a some boxes of crunky! (conversion rates kind of factored in…)

Will wait until new year and then contact you!
Then I can spoil my daughter!

Wish I could get in on this, but no extra money to go around You know how much of a fan I am of Rilakkuma I am.

postage from Japan overseas is not so expensive if you don’t want to insure the items. I have sent a few Rilakkuma items and other goods for under YEN 1,000 ($10) postage cost.

I didn’t have more luck than you back in October when I was in Tokyo. The only free gifts I saw packaged with drinks were some mascots for a green tea, and tiny cars (replicas of Tamiya R/C buggies from the 80′s) with cans of coffee.

Where do I start?

I may just take you up on the offer to get my Pocky fix! Its impossible to get in Australia and my wife thinks I’m mad for obsessing about it! (Have tried a Korean knockoff my local Asian store stocks but its nothing like the real thing!)

Im not a sweet/lollies/candy type of person but I just feel in love with Japanese Confectionery! (esp. Pocky and Crunky- was a staple for our train trips, esp. the Shinkansen….spent many hours on the Bullet Train with Pocky to keep me company!)

Maybe in the New Year we can work something out via Paypal though Im not sure how much it would cost! (postage and actually buying-what to get!!!…would have to trust your tastes!)

I would totally pay you too for some of these items. Mostly rillakuma! You should sell on ebay or something you would be busy with sales. lol
