    Is anyone familiar with these gashapon miniatures? As an audiophile I need some of these. I want to do a complete DJ setup (which typically has identical turntables), so I need duplicates of the turntables. I don't really care about the digital turntable for CDs.

    They are blindpacked in boxes of 12, and there are 5 in the set. Been trying to get a box on ebay, but sellers I've tried wouldn't send the whole box, trying to sell me on just a set instead. One seller claimed it was out of stock even after confirming they had it. There is a listing for a box at BBTS, but it is sold out and doesn't actually come up in the search on their site, only found through google. The chase item (LP record) seems to be packed one per case going by some unboxing videos on youtube.

    Can anyone help me get a full box of these?

    Not sure you can get a box of these anymore. If the HLJ listing is right they came out back in Dec 2020. Is there a particular reason you want the box? Or is just because of the chase. There are a few listings with 2 full sets available.

    Have you contacted BBtoysHK? They seem to have a few sets available either on ebay or their own site.

    I want the chase LP, and a full box seemed to be the best way to get that and a couple sets. However, it seem I might just have to settle for a couple sets without it. I think I can get some mini records on etsy.

    Thanks for the other set suggestions. I already have the Onkyo set ordered to complete the setup the way I would a real one at home. The Show Equipment is interesting, but I would want pairs of some the speakers like in the picture. Why do they have different speakers for the Component Stereo set?

    Ah gotcha, if you want the LP, this listing seems to include it albeit a bit pricey. Then again a lot of these gashapon jump in prices. $40 for just one Kirby Robo fig, bullshit. Technics Miniature Collection All 5 types set complete with 1 LP JAPAN Import | eBay

    That's always the problem with Gashapon. You can get a full box if you know where to look(or even know the damn things are coming out), but they have such a fast turnaround you blink and a new set of gashapon are making the rounds.

    I don't know anything about DJ equipment, but one is a light speaker and the other is a sound speaker. Sound speaker is obvious but I don't have a clue what a light speaker is. Guess you'd just have to go for two sets and do one light vs sound speaker setup. :shrug

    I think I had seen mention of these once late last year, but didn't follow up until now. Not familiar with Gashapon collectibles so I had no idea how quick these would disappear.

    I don't know what a light speaker is either. Passing on that collection, but might get a couple sets of the stage equipment.

    potentially a fine addition to my 1/6 girls' A/V system, however off-scale;

    I think the Technics piece are closer to 1/12 scale but am not sure of that. I hope they don't look too small with my Citizen Urban Icon figures which are 9-10 inches.

    Hmmm those figures haves some pretty big hands buuuut I want to say it should work.



    Miniatures vs an adult hand isn't an exact science but it should give you a rough idea of size.

    I posted some pics on IG with Marvel Legends figs. Ill post them in a bit.

    Got these from Ebay and Amazon JP around December. I can't remember where I got the vinyl though. Also Managed to get a Pre-order through BBTS even after it was sold out. I just kept checking and got lucky. Still sitting in POL though.

    That record is the Lucky LP which is randomly included with some turntables. Seems there is only one in each box of twelve blindboxes. If the record is 1" it would be true 1:12 scale

    Looks like they are good for 6" figs, and so might look small with the larger ones. I avoided the transition to 6" figs, just have a Deadpool and recently ordered a Poon Dealer Destro. I think a black & gold pair of Technics will be great for him.

    I had ordered a box on ebay, but the seller just sent a set. Need to get a second one to having matching turntable pairs. Also hope to get a better sample of the mixer, the output level meter is crooked on mine. The record is 1 1/4" diameter so the scale is approx. 1:10.4.
