Ryomou ShimeiWell, the ones *I* wanted were certainly in that price range... :p
Yeah, I know you can get the bodies for about $200.00 or so, and a head and wig would about round it up to $300 or so, with shipping (Volks USA) but I have no skills to do a face up...
Tokyo to SingaporeIf you can fit it in a bag that'll go carry-on, pad all the pieces with an extra change of clothes, and wrap and stuff any camera or electronics inside as well. You will either have to pack your blaster in checked baggage or leave it at home. (might...
Ryomou ShimeiI don't think Volks down to $100.00 US unless they are planing to open a mass production line...
But $250.00 to $350.00 for a full kit doll (face up, clothes, wig) WITHOUT the stupid lottery, and I'd drop for one or two.
$600.00+ before accessorie...
A Day in Tokyo 6"Today Chris and I got to see something pretty stunning indeed. It was unpainted and needed a huge table to assemble."
I'll take a stab at it. A proto-type Actsta Nanoha or Fate, maybe? Nendoroid scale Air-craft Carrier? Figma Scale F-18E? (with Mik...
Living in JapanBeen living alone since I bought the condo in '91. Over the years, friends drifted away, or got married, and don't see them much anymore. Parents died when I was in my 20's, and siblings are scattered about, (Toronto, Kingston, and Sydney, Aus.) So I...
Dollfie Accessories"Danny's Angels", anybody? :) I said it before, but now he really needs to put up a sign saying "Danger! Property Patrolled by Armed Dollfies!" :)
Tokyo TowerJust the Parliament Buildings with the Peace Tower, and maybe the Cenotaph, but nothing really stands out here otherwise... Chateau Laurier Hotel, maybe?
TetsujinA friend at work left last week and before he left gave me an old Nokia (6310i)phone he had. It works, but I need to get it unlocked, then I might go for a pay as you go plan. But as I have no use for a cell phone, it's no exactly a rush. If I can ge...
Cycling in TokyoWhile I have a bike, it's an ancient European framed Peugeot 10 speed that has been rebuilt into a hybrid. It needs the old Shimano lark de-railer replaced. I have a motorcycle and car license, but own neither. I take OC No-go (bus) to and from work...
Aki TakanoriBoy, this thread sure opened the floodgates. <gryn>
I'd like to see:
Figma scale weapon packs. One for firearms (pistols, SMG's, rifles, sniper rifles, BFG's and rocket launchers), and another pack of bladed weapons (katana, broad swords, knives,...
Junichiro KoizumiAs FifthDream, I think my first exposure to anime was Battle of the Planets, a heavily butchered Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. It wasn't until I was in my 20s that a friend showed me a Fan-sub of SDF Macross. After that, the first Anime I got was Gun...
La Chaîne InfoEnglish, a smattering of Japanese from watching my anime subtitled, and fluent in profanity which comes from working on computers all day. :)
Re AngelI've got one that looks like someone ported to PC a portable console game. Called "Tea Society of a Witch". It was sort of fun, but the graphics looked like it was from an Apple ][.
It was on a DVD and came with an art book. I think the publisher i...
Anime CarsLOL'd at the Miku Van. Leek wipers FTW! XD If I ever get another vehicle, I might do something like that. Loved the nekomimi helmet. Prolly blow off of mine. (used to own a 1983 Honda Magna V65 1100cc)
NDS BackupI like to use the car analogy. If I buy a car, then it is *MINE*! I will do with it as I so chose. Now if I want to make changes to the car, I'll concede the maker has the right to void the warranty. I might even go as far as allow that they can refu...
Hokkaido GuideI agree with you on the Bikini babe. Goddess, I *wish* I could hook up with someone even half that hot! :p~
Re: Ham Fighters. My first impression was a team of professional greased pig wrestlers. :p
Japan Train ServiceThe "O-train" here in Ottawa currently shuttles two trains back and forth from Labretton Flats and Greenboro. They pass each other at a split junction at the Carleton U. stop. The city is planing to expand it out from Blair station (near my place) ou...
Food Costs in TokyoI usually brown bag it most work days, so it's a weekly (or so) purchase of bread, cold cuts, sliced cheese and a pack of fruit cups for desert.
Lumix GF1 ReviewAnybody know if there is an adapter to fit Minolta Lenses to a Canon or Nikon body? I've been looking at Sony, but I'm not all that happy about the fact that the flash mount is a proprietary fitting rather than the standard shoe mount.
Japanese Student Credit CardsGenerally, I don't. The only time I bought something online, I used the paypal account at work (with permission) and just did a debit payment to the company for the amount.
Japanese Student Credit CardsI have a credit card with chip/pin, and a debit card. the only thing I use cash for is my morning coffee and tea biscuit, and junk food off the canteen truck.
I very rarely ever use the credit card (in fact, I don't think I've ever used *this* card)...
Japanese Schoolgirl Love LettersI had something similar, but it went bust on them when I examined the letter and noticed that the phone number had been erased and written over. I didn't call, and nobody admitted to doing a prank. No one even asked probing questions to see if I had...
