Epic Loot

dsc02057.JPG < Score!

There’s a shot of the loot we brought back with us. It completely filled our large suitcase, one of our carry ons and 75% of the other carry on. The stuff we brought with us (clothes, toiletries etc) was jammed into a duffel.

Notable purchases include:
– Neo ZX Tole Guyver figure kit (by Max Factory)
– 7 Gundam kits (including 4 Keroro Gunpla kits)
– figurines of Nagi (from Kannagi Shrine Maidens) and Nelliel (from Bleach)
– a handful of astoundingly detailed glass animals (I will blog these at a later date)
– 8 Nintendo DS games (including Shining Force Feather, Picross 3D and Lode Runner)
– 4 Sony PSP games (including Wizardry Empire III and Ikki Tousen)
– 2 anime ‘key sketches’ (visible in lower right) including one from Keroro Gunso and one of Uryu from Bleach
– 7 Pinky St figures (KLS collects these) including one of their Monster Hunter ones
– Revoltech figure of Haruhi Suzimaya in her bunny suit from the (Linda Linda Linda inspired) ‘school band’ episode
– over 30 packs of trading and TCG cards (including Monster Hunter, Queens Blade, Bleach, Hayate etc)
– over 50 gashapon items
– over 20 boxed toys
– Monster Hunter CG Illustrations artbook
– Monster Hunter Portable 2 G guidebook (at over 1100 pages, the biggest game guide I have ever seen)

…and more 🙂

Live From Japan!

4 out of 4 of us that tasted this stuff agree: it’s horrible!! 🙂

The End Of Dreams

These last two days have been a blur of shopping for ‘goods’, and the sorts of stuff we got I will detail in a post when we get back. Not to mention arcading, and I’m pleased to say after finding Ketsui Death Label and Mushihime 2 in an Akihabara arcade yesterday I’ve now played the six greatest bullet hell shooters on this trip alone!

Another notable event from these past few days was me eating Magic Apple Pies in the Fibonacci series (0, 1, 1, 2, 3). Seven in four days that would be. I’ll miss these Japanese pies (which are identical to the Australian ones, but far superior to the US ones) in the days to come!

Soon we will begin the 30+ hour leg home, to be followed by the 1-2 days of jetlag!

Stay tuned for a wrapup/souvenir post sometime early next week!
