Where is SB??

Wed May 24, 2006 10:54 pm

Where abouts is the Secret Base store? I take it it's near Shibuya, bu can't work it out from the map on their site.

Also, where is Thrashout - the Gargamel store?

Any help would be appreciated!!

Took me an age to find SB, but its findable. I had a map, which I misplaced since...sorry. But its behind Kiddyland by quite a few blocks....and is on the 3rd floor up some stairs. Thrashout was bloody well closed the day I ventured out there :(, so I never got to see it.

This wasn't really much help was it?

No! That was good Muton, I learned not to go to thrashout the same day as you did. :lol:

Actually, I think I have worked out where Thrash Out is - it's one stop past Nakano it seems. Well the area it is in that is.
And Shibuya looks like it houses SB somewhere.

What day was it you went to Thrash Out Muton? I think I saw some where Monday was the no go day?

If everyone knew where it was, it wouldn't be a secret base...

Boom boom!!

:D

Secret Base is closer to Harajuku Station on the JR Yamanote Line. It might be good to have a map. Bounty Hunter is also in Harajuku.

Thrash Out is at Koenji Station on the JR Chuo Line. Easy to find, just head south from the station on the main street and you'll see it on the second floor on the left. They are closed on Wednesdays so keep that in mind.

What comet said! I live in Koenji so if you see some creepy white guy following you it might be me! :twisted:

thrashout was easy to find for me...
SB took me forever with the help of like 2 stranger and a police man..
and one of the SB employees on a bike...

I got off at shibuya and walked to it. not super far..
wouldn't know how to get to it form harjauku

So AD - I am guessing the SB employee told you where to go and the cop just looked at you like - HUH? LOL

Mori - if your in Japan - find out from Baikin where all the RxH is kept other then at his place!!

actually it was this philapina woman and her little girl that were originally from new zeland that stopped and called sb for me..
and then he rode his bike to where we were (about 2 minutes away.. its kind of a tricky little area)
and had us follow him..
pretty cool experience
lol

Some of these shops close at lunchtimes. Thrashout does.
Some of them don't OPEN till lunchtime.
Some of them open at lunchtime then close for lunch ...
Go figure!

I got the bike trip to BxH from SB, thanks to Teppi.

Those guys at SB, and the girl (whose name I didn't catch) were the best!!!

Thu May 25, 2006 11:40 am

Never meet the girl..
But Teppi and Hidi were amazingly cool and fun..
And I got a map to 1/6 from him
