So I headed down to Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara this morning to take part in the TF Prime figure launch. Voyager Bulkheads were moving FAST and I managed to secure the last one on the shelf. One woman in front of me at the registers had 8 Bulkheads and 8 Vehicons, so people definitely know what's in demand overseas. For spending over 3000yen, I was given the store exclusive minicon Blowpipe.
I jumped on the JR Yamanote line and headed for Ikebukuro faster than a stereotypical black guy trying to reunite his tastebuds with a grape soda. I HAD to make it to BIC Camera to score their exclusive minicon Aimless. I knew chances were slim, since United Fracas was gone within the hour last time there was a similar promotion. I swiped a Voyager Optimus off the shelf, joined the long line of patrons and awaited my turn. Thankfully, once I arrived at the register the attendant disappeared out the back and returned with Aimless.
The stroll to my next destination, Toys R Us at Sunshine City, Ikebukuro, was a long one and more of a power walk or a semi-jog. I managed to arrive just 1 hour and 15 minutes after the store opened to try and get minicon Peaceman (Peacemaker). The store was comparatively quiet, a good sign indeed. I found the (small) Transformers section and grabbed the last Cliffjumper and a Bumblebee for my fiance to make up the 3000yen minimum. When I got to the register and the girl scanned the items, I waited for her to disappear like the other attendants to get me my minicon, but it didn't happen. :( In my rubbish Nihongo, I asked if there was a bonus, and from what I could gather she said something along the lines of them being sold out.
So that brings my story to a close, I just felt like I had to ramble :D 2 out of 3 store exclusives was pretty good though, right? :)
Couple more parcels picked up from the post office:
Bought from a certain site a couple of items which I will use as a custom transformer.
First time in doing a custom........hope it works out :D:D
They're on their way...
What could they be...
"Verno never buys things for himself... I thought his collection was complete..."
I guess we'll 'C' in '12' or '16' days...
Give us a clue.:)Quote:

3 TFPrime Arcees for Valkyrie when he gets here, one 1st Edition Cliffjumper for me, a Cyberverse Powerglide just because, and the ridiculous little bonus minicon from Yodobashi Camera.
Oh yeah, and 2 Tshirts, one with a ninja on it to make me look extra gaijin-y and one reading 'Nandeyanen' in hiragana. The latter's the favourite.:cool:
