Did you take any pics? Would love to see these sitting on a store shelf.

All the good places on my map of Akihabara don't allow photography

I can't answer that for you, but if you did, that'd take one more item off of the collective collection...

heroic decepticon is back at base with lots to report and some unexpected finds to unveil! More on this soon...

kurdt_the_goat and jetfire, thanks again for the tips and the map for TF hunting in Japan. It is much appreciated (if you guys, or anyone on the Board, goes to HK, I will be able to return the favour with info of similar quality! ).

Transformers-wise, it has been a great trip and I managed to fill many holes in my collection.

Video Clip of a Mandarake Store (yes, I slipped one by them for the team... erm the Board I mean).

after sorting through hundreds of pics, here's one taken on the hotel bed on the night I acquired them (no, I didn't sleep with them).



Raiden Giftset.
I still can't believe how minty this is for the asking price. 3 of the 6 sticker sheets are unused.

More to come.
