Blog ChannelOctober 3, 2011TheAkiba 3rd Anniversary! Figures and Japanese Goods Giveaway from J-List83by YoU 227 days ago TheAkiba is 3 years old! Because of which I am especially exited, feeling like we’ve achieved many notable milestones – of course we’re still continuing to grow! To commemorate the occasion, we’ve partnered with popular online distributor of Japanese goods, J-List (J-Box for PG-rated goods), to celebrate the day and bring you some free stuffs from Japan. I’m sure many Anime and Japanese culture-related bloggers and fans are quite familiar with the brand. The company is famous for their unique Japanese products and receive tons of attention from people outside Japan. What’s more, J-List is celebrating their 15th Anniversary this month, and they are rolling out the anniversary sale. Every $100 you spend on J-List, they will give you a store credit of $5 until the end of October. Peter Payne, the founder of J-List, was kind enough to provide two Figmas and some other assorted Japanese goods. And to celebrate our 3rd birthday, we at TheAkiba would like to share that love with our readers. What Are the Prizes?J-List has provided us with several cool products, including: Nestle Green Tea Kit Kat for green tea lovers, Sakamoto Nyan T-Shirt from TV Anime Nichijou (日常), and two Figmas of two female protagonists of the well-known series Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai (俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない)—Kirino Kosaka (高坂 桐乃) and Kuroneko (黒猫).The Green Tea Kit and T-Shirt are priced at $8 and $19.95, while the two Figmas are priced at $48 each, but thanks to our generous donator, Peter and the J-List team, they are completely free for our readers.How to Win:With four amazing prizes to give away, we’ve decided to have two separate giveaways over the following two consecutive weeks.
