Post subject:  Toy Karma!!
So, I have been searching toy stores (probably way more than i should) during the past year I have been into toy collecting while living in tokyo. Yesterday I came upon the best find ever!! I stopped by a new hobby shop and as i was about to leave i look down on a shelf near the floor and find 4 skull bees, all old skull bees 3 priced at 1000 yen (less than $10) 2 of which were still mint with header, 1 priced at 2000 yen (less than $20) and was mint with header. Sorry for the shitty cell phone pic, thought it was better than this.

Seriously, this is a great find. And ONLY in Japan, most hobby shops here just don't have these kind of finds.

The Ollie Bee is one of my favorites, and not easy to get either! Awesome!

So awesome! You'd be lucky to get a single good bee for the price of all of those. Congrats!

those were on my most wanted list too! So imagine when i found them all at once for a price that was half what i was expected to pay for ONE of them. :twisted:

But rest assured, as awesome as it is being in Japan, I know I won't have a find like this ever again, lol
