Bandai Gashapon Official Shop at ATT 4 FUN, Taipei: Coin Prices and Line-Up

On the way out of Taipei 101, a Bandai gashapon shop with wall after wall of machines. Coins are NT$50 each, most pulls cost three to five, and the range is huge, even if Japan is clearly cheaper.

We came down from the Taipei 101 observatory, and the Bandai official gashapon shop was right on the way out. If you like capsule toy shops, this one is easy to like. The range is enormous.

Coins First

The machines here take shop coins, not cash. The chart at the counter runs from a single NT$50 coin to a bundle of sixty. My child asked my husband to change money the moment we walked in, and the coins were split between my child and me. We ended up with five or six pulls each.

The Harry Potter Plates

I wanted the Harry Potter plates as soon as I saw them. Each plate is about 10cm across, there are five designs, and one pull costs five coins. I pulled two. I still have not opened them.

A Wall of Licenses

The range is the point of this shop. Character goods sit next to brand miniatures, row after row.

My husband likes BE@RBRICK. He used to not quite understand why I bought things like this. Now he is quietly into it, and the charm went onto his car key straight away.

Quiet at Closing Time

We arrived close to closing on a Sunday evening, and the shop was almost empty. The queue barriers at the entrance suggest that busier hours are a different story.

Is It Worth It?

For range, yes. For price, Japan is clearly cheaper. In Japan a pull usually starts at around 3,000 KRW. Here three coins come to about 6,300 KRW, which is closer to what you would pay in Korea. The price was the only real disappointment.

Because it sits right on the way out of Taipei 101, it is an easy stop, and browsing the machines is half the fun.
