Quick answer
Start your Chiikawa bookmark collection by buying a Bandai Chiikawa Bookmark Vol.5 blind bag, then systematically trade or buy more to complete the set without overspending on duplicates.
Why start with Bandai Chiikawa Bookmark Vol.5?
This series has 22 different designs including 2 secret ones, so you get variety right from the start. The bookmarks are compact (190 x 53 mm) and easy to store or display, making them a low-commitment entry point into Chiikawa stationery collecting. The main trade-off is that you cannot choose which design you receive, so you may get duplicates if you buy multiple single packs instead of a box set.
4 steps to start your Chiikawa bookmark collection
- Choose your entry point: Decide whether to start with a single blind bag or a box set. A single pack costs less upfront and lets you test your interest. A box set gives you 20 out of 22 designs and a 10% discount, which is better value if you want a large collection. If you only want a few designs, start with single packs. If you want most of the set, go for the box set to avoid paying for duplicates later.
- Open and sort your bookmarks: Carefully open each pack without tearing the bookmark. Sort your designs by character or series number. Check which ones you have and which are still missing. Use a checklist of the 22 designs to track progress. Keep a checklist handy to avoid buying duplicates by accident.
- Trade or buy missing designs: Join online Chiikawa collector groups or local trading events to swap duplicates for designs you need. If you prefer to buy directly, look for sellers listing individual designs. Remember that secret designs are rarer and may cost more. Trading is cheaper than buying singles, but be patient – secrets may take longer to find.
- Display and protect your bookmarks: Store bookmarks in a clear sleeve, mini album, or frame to keep them flat and dust-free. Because they are only 1 mm thick, they can bend easily. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use acid-free sleeves or albums to preserve the print quality long-term.
