FAQ
I'm getting loads of mail every week and while I do answer some of them, I cant answer them all. Please dont get the wrong impression of me if I dont reply ^^;
Gathered the most popular questions and put them in this FAQ which I will be updating as I get more of the same sort of questions...
- I have questions about top coat, the colors you used for your Strike and other Gundam questions.
- Have a look at the Gundam modeling FAQ and the Gundam modeling tutorial for busy peeps. If you cant find what you want, until I get the forums up n running, post an off topic question on the first post on the top page for now - folks are generally good at answering.
- Where can I get hold of Japanese toys and figures online?
- Erm, doing a search is a good start - if you dont find what you want, try the right column on Figure.fm - ads for online shops usually crop up there.
HobbyStuff4U is also the other recommended place. While the catalog does not seem to update much, I know they can get hold of anything if you contact them and their response is good.

- Can you buy stuff and send to me - I can pay you an extra 10 dollars on top.
- Hmmmm. Tough one but I think maybe no.
- Can you translate something for me?
- Hmmmm. No. Try online tools like Excite.
- Where can I get stormtrooper armor?
- Shepperton Design Studios do the best armor - they are the original makers. You can trust them too.
- Where can I *not* get stormtrooper armor?
- Why are you now blogging less compared to the previous 7 times a week?
- I want to spend time bringing you more original content - photo galleries, idol events, how-to-blah-in-Japan etc. Quality - not Quantity ^^.
I also want to spend time adding new features to the site. Theres still a ton of stuff that I still owe you like the wallpaper generator, your Amazon store etc.
Soon you will be able to create an account where your profile details/personalized icon will be used in the forums and comments for the posts. You are also going to see more Ajax based features on the site and I need to make time to brush up on those skills.

- I hate you. Grow up. Stop spending your money on toys.
- Thanks! leave a note under the hate mail category.
- I'm coming to Japan and want to buy coolsome stuff - can you recommend me some shops?
- Get your booty down to Akihabara in Tokyo on the Yamanote line. Get out of the station, take some pictures of the maids and wander around - there you will find and endless amount of figure, ero, gundam and gadget treasure.
- When is Blah Gundam coming out?
- Could be sometime soon I guess.
- How do I get tickets for an idol event?
- Read the post on the first idol event that I went to.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Just wanted to let you know that the top header is a bit displaced in Opera (9.01), didn't know if you were aware of this.. I use adblockers though so it could be that..

I have a question. I'm planning on buying a few more anime figures and I thought about looking through your site to see what is out there. I found this one:

I was wondering if you remember what she is called or what series she is from. Thanks for answering.

I was just wondering if you know anything about the Gundam Origin series. I live in the USA and I have little exposure to the Gundam Origin series and is sadly left with the cruddy Viz cut version of the series.
From what I know is that they have the Origin series in separate books from 1-15 (so far) priced at around 588 yen each. I was wondering about the big compiled graphic book novels with the price of around 2,835 yen and what numbers from the 1-15 set are in the first, second, and third one already out.
I also found something really disturbing. Is it true that the Japanese version doesn't have color pages in the single 1-15 set, but the Chinese version does have colored pages? I found this out on this blog.

Do you know if the large Origin I, II, III books have colored pages also?
Much appreciated if you can answer any of my questions.
