Hey all, I happen to be headed to Japan with my incredibly indulgent female companion from Feb 17-March 7th. We'll be doing a week snowboarding up north and then in a week in Tokyo and Kyoto, with a full 3-4 days devoted to my Great Toy Hunt 2011! Basically I'm going to memorize Tokyo Underground 2 and try to visit as many key shops and artists as possible. Why is this of interest to you? Well, simple. I've decided to reap some good toy karma by offering myself up as a mule for as many of you as it takes to fill up a small backpack worth of stuff. Here are the rules: 1) 1st come, 1st served 2) Max 2 items/person. 3) Items can be toys, a favourite snack, whatever, but try to keep it on the small side to leave room for others to get in on this. 4) Throw a photo, description/background, where I might find it and anything I need to know about condition preferences, etc 5) Decide what you want to pay for it and send it to my Paypal account before I leave (jameschillcott@gmail.com)....if I find your item, you pay shipping to get it to you from Ohio. If I don't I just send back your money, no funny business. (I'm assuming we'll use "gift" mode on Paypal to facilitate.) 6) When I get back I'll be in Toronto, travelling to the US (to see family and ship) within the month, so that's the delivery timeline. And that's it....so what do you want? [Wasn't sure where to post this, so if the mods feel it belongs elsewhere, feel free to move and my apologies!] James/FaustX |

Can you bring me a samurai sword or ninja grappling hook? My neighbors are starting to annoy me. Can you bring me a Samurai helmet? You can wear it on your head so it won't take up any room in the backpack! Can you bring me a Japanese McDonald's hamburger so I can taste a real beef meat burger again? Sorry couldn't resist. Been working on these for days...

You are vacationing in Japan with an 'incredibly indulgent female companion' and offering to buy random geeks shit they don't need . . . what am I missing here!

If there's a Nag release at Mishka Tokyo, can I be the first to reserve your muling services? |

Hey guys, Just a reminder that if you want something, you need to: a) Figure out what you want to spend on it b) Claim your place in line (in thread, and by PM if you like) c) Send me the money if you are serious to the paypal account listed in the first post Once I'm there I'm simply going to carry a list of the stuff and pics around on my iphone from people who paid and check off what I find, not necessarily in order. If I find it, I'll let you know and bill you honest shipping. If I don't I send your cash back. If you choose not to send me money its your call, but you won't get your stuff, and I'm as reliable as it gets in terms of fair dealing and communications. Only 3-4 hands up solidly so far, so fire away. Oh, and for the curious here is the "incredibly indulgent female companion"...   Clearly we are talking about a girl with a sense of fun and adventure no? J |
