Can’t give you Pokemon specific advice, we did this with a Licca doll for a friend’s kid, a couple of Re-ment sets for mine and another child as well as some out of print books unavailable in the U.K. LapGirl has no interest in Pokemon and is over her Youkai Watch phase. But if you can identify a few things with online shops who will deliver to a combini, that’s a lot of running around taken out of your day. Might save a bit of money too.
agree with this, i always order on Amazon/Rakuten for order requests and i don't assist with what i cant find on amazon. Given that they are your kids you would probably shop for them too but it would take the stress out of the layover. if you have spare check-in allowance you can even check the box in a whole before heading into town, or after - depending on what airline you fly with.
Knowing what you have already bought certainly takes the stress out of what you need to shop for after.
