Good luck sneaking that Wii Remote through customs.  They're gonna charge you more than your entire trip cost for that one!

Vacuum bags are your friend, my friend. 

Plus technically you can take a stuffed toy on your person and it's not classed as hand luggage. Granted, this is usually for children but I don't think it's exclusively for them.

I want that cuddly, giant Wiimote and GameCube merch. I'm kinda glad its over Japan otherwise I'd end up spending a small fortune.

The store looks like the best thing about this - I'm sure I'll spend a fortune when we go.

Can we club together to send someone over there to buy all the merch we want?

I can get stuff for people.

Finally I can put the kids to good use!

Oh snap! They do have a portion of the museum dedicated to hardware prototypes!!! Including the Revolution "Star" controller and the only officially existing Sky Skipper arcade cabinet (the one that was previously being kept at NOA).

All of a sudden I am now much more interested in going! :D

The museum only opened its doors to the public on Tuesday, but online marketplaces are already being flooded with items bought from the venue.

Seemingly in a bid to combat scalping, a post on the museum's official X account on Tuesday confirmed that the sale of some items will now be limited.

These include a collection of keychains fashioned after Nintendo consoles, as well as large cushions that come in the shape of Nintendo controllers.

Online marketplace Mercari has over 1,000 listings for Nintendo Museum items, with some of the most in-demand, such as the large Wiimote cushions, selling for over $215.

The museum's shop, Bonus Stage, sells all sorts of memorabilia celebrating the company's history, including T-shirts, mugs and other collectibles featuring all of Nintendo's home consoles and handhelds.

Scalpers are the worst but some of this is on Nintendo. I mentioned this in the PS5 thread in relation to the 30th anniversary products but what do companies expect when they limit products from their fan base? This kind of merchandise should be made for the global audience. Having stuff like this available everywhere would instantly stop scalpers.
