IMPRESSIONS                            

Very nice chain of stores Liberty. They stock things such as New and used CD's LD's, Videos,  DVD, Games as well as alot of other things depending on which store you visit. There are 4 of these in Akihabara, I managed to find them all but only went into 3 of them. Oh one more thing the LIBERTY signs are in katakana and are green letters in a white background just to let you know so that you don't think your walkin into the wrong store.

STORE LOCATIONS 

LIBERTY 3 was the first of the 3 LIBERTY's that i went to and is the smallest of the bunch, from the picture on the left it's on the right hand side of the road (Chuo Dori West side) near a bunch of game shops down a flight of narrow stairs, if you come up from that end you should have no problem finding this place. As small as this place is it's got a lot of videos, CD's new and used oh btw everything here is more than likely discounted from retail price even new things. I got myself the Evangelion Genesis 0:0 and Genesis 0:0' videos here for 480yen each!! Now that's a bargain.
LIBERTY 4 is across the street from LIBERTY 3 hence just use the pic on the left hand side. This is kinda weird since it's one store but is split into 2 you'll know what i mean when u see it. This place is fairly crowded especailly on Sundays, has loads of LD's check out the front of the store they usually have cartons and boxes full of them that they want to get rid of usually outside the one on the left. the one on the right has less to offer than the left which has CD's games, LD box sets discounted of course, bargain I saw here was probably the new Macross 7 Box Fire 2 LD set for only 13000yen.
LIBERTY 2, head up east on Chuo Dori ( other words head up the street on the pic). You'll find a intersection with a Sega place on the right i think. take that right and you'll see Liberty 2 head up the escalator it's the biggest of the bunch that i went to. It's got lots of LD"s, CD's videos and DVD on the second floor of the building they are mainly used ones here , head up the stairs to the 3rd floor and you'll find New CD's, LD's Videos, and other things like cards, posters etc. I bought the new TWO-MIX CD/video album Vision Formula here. Nicely discounted of course only got it for 3675 yen. Go up another floor and you'll find some anime stuff but not much, mainly imported english stuff here but still take a look u never know what you might find here.
LIBERTY 1 I'm not going to write about since I never went in it, only passed it while I was looking for K-Books and Hobby Shop Kyra. All I know is that it's near Hobby Shop Kyra.

Liberty 2 Store front go up-stairs I recommend you find this one lots of range and lots of room to move around in.

One of the game shops on the right hand side of the road, standing in front of this shop head right to find the small LIBERTY.

Nice little place for modelling goods. But hard as hell to find, It's tucked away in the inner parts of the shops in Akihabara's east side. You have to go up in the elevator to get to this place, on the 6th floor. Has models which range from Mecha snap kits to resin figures of characters, Overall not bad but just the location is.

STORE LOCATIONS

Kinda hard to Describe since it's so tucked away, all I can remember is that it's near the JR Akihabara station on the east end of Chuo Dori on the right. but I hope this address helps . On the pic just head left into the "maze" of shops that surrounds that area, you can get lost in there since there can be alot of people,

This will get you confused garunteed I'm really sorry I shoulda taoen a better picutre and of the store front 

Well first off all Volks stores have this thing for being in really really bad locations, as in that it'll take you a half hour just to find the dam place. It's tucked away on the 6th floor of a building near the exit of Akihabara JR station. But once you do find this place it is a hell of an excellent store if you want to buy models. They have everything, ranging from plastic kits, to resin, you name it they'll most likely have it, if they don't then they'll be more than happy to help you try and track it down at one of there 3 other stores in Shibuya, Shinjuku and the other I can't remember where. There prices are good slightly below retail, anyhow good luck trying to find this place, but once you find one and grab a bag from any of the stores, it'll have maps for all the stores.

STORE(s) LOCATION

Like I said, this is one hard place to find, it's on the 6th floor of one of the buildings near the station, the building is also full of electronic shops and I can also tell you how to get to the elevator. Walk into the place, down the corridor a bit, there'll be shops to the left and right of you, the elevator is on the left side some where, also there is a game shop right next to the elevator and stairs.Also there is the shops card stickered on the wall near the elevator so that you'll know your at the right place. Oh and another thing when you get to the 6th floor head down the corridor on the right to see the shop, there will be some of those vending machines that sell those little ball things and cards the staff will usually greet you at the store front, oh by the way the logo of the place looks like a VS with a slogan in english below it I can't remember the slogan right now but I'll put it up if I do remember it. Ok but heres another tip that i have read around the other guide sites. It's fairly close to the JR Akihabara station and if u were to look for the building from the other side than where i was looking then it was really easy @__@ since theres' big signs on the window as seen on the right picutre

From Top you can see the VS sign in green that's Volks (6th Floor), Go to 4th Floor and it's Kaiyodo and of course 3rd floor is K-Books cool store.
