So I went to Tokyo a couple of weeks back to meet some friends, and I took some time off to visit Akihabara, the so-called otaku heaven. I didn’t manage to spend too much time there actually, I had a train to catch. I just wandered around the station but it didn’t take long for me to stumble upon a model/figure shop.

Aside from the standard gunpla stuff, they had a lot of limited/rare models but were too pricey for me. There were some B-club resin conversion parts as well. I ended up buying these somewhat rare kits from the Turn-A gundam series : Mobile Kapool and Mobile Sumo, both 1/144 scale. The sumo cost around 300yen while the Kapool surprisingly cost around 800yen. I also bought some B-club resin hands for 980yen.

There’s also plenty of other stuff at the shop, from SRW, godzilla, ultraman to some hot figures. Bought some gachapons selling at a bargain price (100yen each) and that bought my total spending to around 2000+yen. I would have ventured to find other gunpla-related shops, but unfortunately time wasn’t on my side. But I’ll be looking forward for my next visit there…
