MACross Takes the 'School Trip' to Asakusa — Pop-Up Store With Sheryl, Ranka & Alto

A school trip to Asakusa is the most on-brand field trip the MACROSS franchise could possibly take. From October 2 to 16, 2026, a pop-up store — officially billed as "MACROSS POP UP STORE Go To Asakusa! Hyperspace School Trip" — takes over the 3rd-floor event hall of Matsuya Asakusa (right by the "Anime Culture Center by eeo"), open daily 10:00–19:00.
What's in the store
There are two full merch lines, and 17 characters in the lineup — Sheryl Nome, Ranka Lee, Alto Saotome and friends — with goods for both the Macross F and Macross Δ camps.
| Item | Price (tax incl.) |
|---|---|
| Acrylic stand | ¥1,980 each |
| Can badge (57mm, blind) | ¥550 / F full set ¥3,850 / Δ set ¥5,500 |
| Acrylic card (blind) | ¥690 / F full set ¥4,830 / Δ set ¥6,900 |
| Acrylic coaster | ¥1,320 |
| A3 clear poster | ¥1,650 |
| Die-cut sticker | ¥550 |
The GraffArt line brings something different: blind mini acrylic stands, acrylic dioramas (¥3,850), a custom stand that lets you pin up to 3 mini stands on it (¥1,980), plus practical stuff — a leather coin purse (¥2,420), a saku-saku pouch (¥2,750), and a travel memo (¥1,650).
Bonus & the important fine print
- Buy ¥2,200+ of new goods and you get one random postcard from 17 designs — collection bait, but a good one.
- The store expects a stampede on opening days. Entry for Oct 2–4 runs on a time-slot pre-lottery via LivePocket (free to enter). Winning means showing original ID at the door — real name and birthdate, no copies, no IC cards.
- Entry-limited slots don't stop the stamp campaign or bonus redemption, so even lottery-missed fans can grab the postcard side of things.
A thought from me
Asakusa is literally our front yard — ten minutes from the Tsurumi side of town if you grab the Asakusa Line transfer right. A MACROSS field trip in our prefecture, with GraffArt dioramas and blind badges to justify a second visit? I may just have to ride that school bus, front-row seat, earphones in. See you at Matsuya, fellow students.
