Weekly Staff Picks — October 26, 2026
Welcome to this week’s Staff Picks. Our team hand-selected 5 pre-owned Japanese collectibles that stood out to us this week for their character, detail and condition. Every item is sourced and inspected in Japan, and each one below links straight to its product page with full photos.
How we describe condition
Every pick below is pre-owned and inspected by hand in Japan before it ships. We do not put a letter grade or a third-party grade on it: the condition of each piece is written on its own product page, and the photographs are of that exact item, not a stock image. If something is opened, missing its box, or worn, the listing says so.
1. Nintendo Game & Watch DONKEY KONG Multi Screen Orange retro game machine
