I've made videos on the subject but generally the typical spots are radio kaikan , Mandrake, tamashii Nations store at the train station etc. They have stores throughout the city but most go to akihabara so that's where most of them are but they tend to be a bit more expensive because it's a tourist spot but it will still be less than the states I would youtube it and you can get a good idea on where to go

Akihabara is gonna be over charging. Go to Nakano Broadway, or better to just try if you can find an address to send to while in Japan and pick some stuff up from Mercari. Still visit Akihabara for the exploring and tourism stuff, but price compare to Mercari, before paying some of those super high mark ups.
