Washizu Set from Akagi

Post by oxoboxo » Fri Jan 23, 2009 7:32 am

Yes! I have found it!Image

Problems! I haven\'t bought it, but at first look, it had the official Akagi logo and everything, except that the set was extremely tiny! In fact, I saw the same looking set in a UFO catcher or crane game in an arcade! It\'s sold at Don Quixote or Tokyu Hands in Japan for a steep price of roughly $150 USD! Hopefully I am mistaken and maybe there is a normal sized set for cheaper...希望的観測。。。

I think mahjongmart had the normal sized washizu tiles on sale some time ago, but not anymore, price was something around $80 or less if i remember correctly..

I\'d believe that price for Tokyo hands, but not for Donki. Im pretty sure I\'ve seen it there for 60-80.

Hey guys,

On MahjongMart we have a new version of these. The tiles are the same size as the Dragon Set, so normal-size Japanese tiles. It\'s not the mini-set.

The new tiles we have are the same size as the Akagi sets we used to have, but there are no tile trays and the sticks are black, so we\'ve lowered the price to $85.99 instead of $89.99, plus shipping.

MahjongMart Transparent Tile Set

We only have 8 of these sets left right now, so it\'s a while supplies last kind of thing.

Please note that this set is not the official Akagi set with the logo, the concept is exactly the same, but this is a more affordable option.

When we have the official Akagi logo tiles in stock they go for about twice what these ones go for and also come with gloves and a bag for the tiles.

Hi Jenn,

That is a very good price for an Akagi-style set - the tiles look similar in quality to the official set. I also checked your shipping rate and - unless there is a mistake - it is very low, so this looks like a great bargain for Akagi MJ players.

I occasionally get Akagi enquiries. If I get any more, I\'ll send them over.

Ah but in this mini set all the tiles are clear rather than 3/4 of the tiles.

You see this set on ebay from time to time quite reasonably priced
