A 3-meter-high capsule-vending machine and 320 normal-sized vending machines are now waiting for you to try your luck as Eslite Spectrum Shenzhen is holding a gachapon event on its fourth floor until May 5.
Gachapons at Eslite Spectrum SZ.
The term, “gashapon” or “gachapon,” refers to a variety of vending machine-dispensed capsule toys popular in Japan and elsewhere. The gachapon toys at the Shenzhen event are licensed from popular characters in Marvel, Disney and Japanese manga. Toys will be given randomly out of a machine.
Each gachapon costs between 20 yuan and 40 yuan and players should buy tokens at the store before using the machines.
Meanwhile, shoppers who spend 288 yuan or more at the book and lifestyle store can join a lucky draw for prizes including a brooch, a 100-yuan coupon, a goody bag, a notebook or a wine cabinet.
