Post Visit to Thrashout-Gargamel *with pics*
On Monday, I had to venture out to inner tokyo to process my wifes I-130 application for immigration. she was kind enough to let me visit this place on the way back, and it was worth the trip. the store is lined wall-to-wall with some of the rarest pieces ive seen. they also have a few for sale. much better selection than Secret Base and BountyHunter. I visited those as well, but they had no figures available at the time. I did take pictures of the vault though. Ill post those in the Secret Base thread. Anyway, I snapped a few so I figured Id share.

Gargamel, a full size Gomes would be a great idea for 2008.
Oh and an octogon ring is necessary too.
