Question Where to buy Alter Ego merch?

So, I have looked around and found some sites like the Caramel Column official site, Amazon, and Booth. Based on what I see though, a lot of stuff that are interesting for me to get are either no longer available, or cannot be shipped to where I live. Although, I am going to Japan on December and I'd rather buy it there.

If anyone knows any locations I should check out to find Alter Ego merch in Japan, I'd really appreciate it. And if anyone can guide me how to buy stuff online on other sites I did not mention, that'd be great too.

Caramel Column stopped carrying an inventory of physical merchandise due to low sales. They used to sell their inventory on Amazon, but no longer do as a result as well. BOOTH is your only option for CaraColu merch, aside from hunting secondhand platforms like Yahoo Japan Auction, Mercari, etc. BOOTH products can be bought anywhere using a proxy. Their official partner proxy is Buyee, but any proxy can work. If you are in Japan for an extended period, then I believe they are able to ship to hotels, but because items are made to order, there may be a delay of up to 20 days between you placing an order to them shipping out. Guides are available online for making purchases using proxies.

Its pretty niche. Considering the fact that they jad to stop carrying metch because there wasnt enough fans to buy/support it.

I jike that theres only 5 alter ego fans including me. But I try to spread word where I can to get people in on peak

I say just be sure to follow the creator's Twitter profiles. Both u/GamesCaramel and u/date_maki. They do the occasional posting about merch, like when there was a sudden surge of popularity of Alter Ego a few months back and they posted new merch on Booth.
