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...

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Can you translate something for me?
   • Hmmmm. No. Try online tools like Excite.
5. Where can I get stormtrooper armor?
   • Shepperton Design Studios do the best armor - they are the original makers. You can trust them too.
6. Where can I *not* get stormtrooper armor?
   • COSTUMEJUNKIE...
7. 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.
8. I hate you. Grow up. Stop spending your money on toys.
   • Thanks! leave a note under the hate mail category.
9. 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.
10. When is Blah Gundam coming out?
    • Could be sometime soon I guess.
11. How do I get tickets for an idol event?
    • Read the post on the first idol event that I went to.
