World's largest capsule¹ toy store

全球最大扭蛋商店开业

Spanning² over a massive³ 1,256 sqm floor space, the "Gashapon Department Store," which opened in Tokyo a few weeks ago, is the world's largest capsule toy store, according to Guinness World Records.

几周前在东京开业的“扭蛋专卖店”占地面积达1256平方米，被吉尼斯世界纪录认定为全球最大的扭蛋专卖店。

The new store, located inside Ikebukuro's Sunshine City shopping center, is now home to the largest number of gashapon machines at a single location, boasting a whopping 3,000 capsule toy machines.

这家位于池袋太阳城购物中心内的扭蛋专卖店设置有3000台扭蛋机，是全球拥有最多扭蛋机的地方。

There are nearly 40 factories producing gashapon in Japan, delivering more than 200 new types of products every month, but since each type of capsule stays in the market only once, collectors try to buy as many as they can when they come out.

目前日本全国有近40家扭蛋厂商，每月推出的新产品有200多种，但由于每款扭蛋只上市一次，收集者会试图一次性大量购买。
