Datadub - I will be flying into Tokyo on the 20th August (Sunday) and leaving on the 26th August. Just a short stop this time round, but hope to get as much in as possible. First leg of a world tour! We have plans to head to Kyoto and Osaka in that time too, so it is a lightning visit. Maybe 3 days in Tokyo though.
You realize that summer wonderfest is on that sunday - planning to go straight from the Airport to Big Sight????
I didn't realise!! Wow. We fly in at 7.30 in the morning. Might have to sort out getting there. Where is Big Sight?
Oodaiba. You should be able to get out there using your JR Pass, if you got a JR pass. Here's the English site for Big Sight: http://www.bigsight.jp/english/ If you find a vending machine inside that sells hot dogs, avoid it. Trust me.
Question, in regards to the Rumble Monsters that were or are available at KT. I noticed the green Pharoah rite off, there were 2 listed but the prices were extremely different. However looking at pictures of both I see NO difference. Did anyone else notice this, and maybe know some kinda explanation. I wanted the figure, but certainly not for the price on the figure that is still available. TOO HIGH, I think.
Hi, http://www.kaiju-taro.com/index.php?ac=grp&grp=5000060 The upper photograph is the 1st one(GL-GR), released in 2005. The lower one(GL-GR') is just released on 4/30/2006. They look same, but the painting is a little bit different.
According to the japanese: the expensive one is the first release, the cheaper (sold out) one is a re-issue. Apparently the coatings are slightly different.
Don't do it Knewnan. Too expensive. I want a Pharoah too, but I can't even justify that price - UNLESS ?
I already have the green proto version and it cost me less than 30,000 yen. It does seem high priced.
