Ah, Mandarake New Special. Good times.

Did you guys hover around the entrance, waiting for it to open? :lol:

I hope you were able to make it to Moja-Q. That is the best store ever.

Man, I am Soooooooooooooooooo tired form yesterday - we walked for miles, saw stuff, chatted - and best of all we had a great time! Mark is awesome company - boundless toy energy!!!! Yesterday evening I was like a wind-up toy whose mechanism had completely wound down!

Yep, Nagoya for those Blobs, and torturing us in every Mandarake were sample only displays :(

Inside the bag? Not much vinyl - mainly vintage henshin cyborg and some micromen! That was it really. I did buy a Gasbauer cos odf teh Mount Fuji colorway, and a neighborhood dog.

Loads more pics when I get back!

Great stuff! Everytime I see pics of those stores though I get worried that when I finally get over there, it will all be too much, and I'll go into some sort of toy overload coma.

Okay so everyone can relax the shop the rxh was in is Ichiban-Boshi in Koenji. It is a must visit shop if you visit Japan. Carl and I both bought something there, but no sadly he didn't have any rxh for sale. He does from time to time, but nothing yesterday.
