Was out and about yesturday and just happened to come across a shop selling Gundams. Also just happened to have my camera on me so I thought I'd go in and negotiate to take some juicy pics...

Inside the box of Strike Freedom Gundam Lightning Edition. I didnt look too closely at the runners. I was thinking of laying all the runners out on the shop floor to take pics but that would be taking the pee if you know what I mean...

The parts which should have been clear but ended up like this. Maybe you can make your own clear parts by using TicTac cases?

More Freedom. If you leave something valuable outside a shop in Japan - it'll generally still be there when you come back. Good thing this is Japan or I wouldn't have been able to bring you these shots!

Living in Japan can be dangerous - walk into a modeling shop and you will walk out with several boxes and an empty pocket.

You cant help but smile when you are surrounded by Gundams!

More Gundams...

Even more Gundams!

Now that is where I would love to go, Akihabara, that shop Danny is in...I love Gundam, plus I was one of those who have almost all of the 90's American Gundam model Scene, BriarPatches...:)

I just wish here in the USA in Missouri, they had shops like that around here. Walmart used to carry Gundam Model kits, then stopped selling them in stores, they have a few online, but not enough...Great Coverage, when I go to Japan in the somewhat Near/Distant Future, that is a place that I will definitely visit on multiple occasions!!!
