Would look online and then search where the model you want can be bought. Amazon may even stock it.
Thank you - actually this location is my usual go-to for stuff because it is away from the tourist areas and has a huge supply of everything, but it's hard to compare prices between shops since it's the only one in the area. Of course all electronics in Japan are YMMV given I was just at Bic yesterday looking for a plug in USB charge plug and they were selling the same 1amp plug for US$13 I can buy at Walgreens for $1.

I should check Amazon, you're right - if I can find the same device from Amazon for a similar price, it saves me the hassle of dragging it home with me.
