 buying from Secret Base I hope this is not a stupid question but how does one buy stuff from Secret Base? I don't read Japanese.

Indeed ... Those outside of Japan pretty much have to rely on the retailers that receive SB stuff. Fortunately there are a few including Super7, Span of Sunset, ToyTokyo, Mandarake, Kung Fu Toys, etc. Then of course there's the aftermarket, the best venue for which is the For Sale section right here.

FACT: Secret Base does not accept credit cards. Alot of places in Japan don't. All the vintage toy stores I've been to don't take CC. I didn't run into anywhere in Nakano Broadway that took them, either.

i learned the hard way with SB,,,queued up for the GID skullpirate last halloween,,with credit card in-hand & no cash...was second to last before they sold-out,,,luckily they held one for me for a few minutes while i scrambled around harajuku on my skateboard looking for an international-money machine (not very easy thing to do in japan sometimes)...
