1 USD = 150 yen!? Make a good deal now!
Hi, this is Pistachio. It's been a year since I updated our last blog...
I'm back because I need to tell you very important thing for friends overseas.
Let me tell you what...
WEAK YEN is nothing but GOLD EXPERIENCE (requiem).
If you don't understand what I'm saying, let me explain.
Japanese yen has been steadily declining in value against the U.S. dollar.
Couple of weeks ago, it surpassed the 150 level, its lowest point in past 32 years!
An ever weakening yen is not good for Japanese economy...but at least, good for hobby fans overseas!
Well, let's see how weak yen affected shopping for US customer.
How USD price changed in this 1 year?
1. In case of Nendoroid (Item cost: 5,959yen)
Nendoroid Monika
Item cost in USD (1 year ago)
About $52
If you pay it now in USD
About $40
If you are purchasing this beloved Monica Nendoroid today,
item cost you will be paying is about $12 less than that of last year!
2. In case of figma (Item cost: 9,327yen)
If you are purchasing this figma,
item cost you will be paying is $20 less than that of last year!
3. In case of Scale Figure (Item cost: 30,917yen)
Awesome!
This makes $65 less comparing to last year!
Hope this will make you easier to understand what the weak yen means to US customers.
