    I actually did try a few department stores and other smaller venues and still no luck. Sadly, I'm back in the US already. I'll probably buy it on this side of the Pacific, but of course, for a much higher price than I would have in Japan. Although, if I do factor in the cost of shipping if I had bought it in Japan, the price would have come out around the same.

    I can't think of any other shops that antibiotictab hasn't mentioned. Although there weren't any in Akiba, Bic Camera has several stores in Tokyo as does Yodobashi Camera.

    I bought that kit this trip. I've seen that one everywhere.

    I actually broke my rule of buying only 1/100 scale kits and bought some 1/144 scale Gundam kits. The G-Lucifer, G-Arcane, G-Self Assault Pack, Lightning Gundam, and both Lightning Back Weapon sets.

    I'll be re-watching Frontier as soon as I get back from my Tokyo trip. I was able to pick up the bluray box set for 12,000 yen in the Nakano Mandarake.

    I'm grateful to see you translating more of the Macross backstory! Keep up the awesome work!

    You've probably been to all the shops in Akiba that I've been in yesterday! A friend of mine will be in Osaka on Sunday and mentioned that Joshin Hobby allegedly has them in stock.

    Been thinking of buying one. Are the armor parts for the regular YF-29s compatible with this new toy?

    Is that mail-order only? I haven't seen it in any of the toy/model shops I've visited during my stay here in Japan.

    Why the hell is the 1/500 2199 Yamato model so hard to find? Did Bandai stop producing it? It's actually starting to piss me off, especially considering that I can find plenty of old Gundam models from the early 80s in stores, but not a kit that is only a year or so old! If I knew that I was going to have such a problem finding it, I would have bought it at NY Comic-con and lugged the thing to the X-Japan concert last October. Even worse is that I can find the expansion kit for it all over the place, but not the main kit!

    Far from. The track ball was invented and first used during the mid-1950s.

    The Akiba Yodobashi is one of the first places I looked for it. I haven't hit all the shops in Akiba yet, so I still might find it there. I did find the first 4 blurays for 2450 yen each. They had all 7, but 5-7 were priced for twice as much.

    I'm definitely thinking of picking up that Gatlantis carrier. I keep seeing it at a few of the stores here in Tokyo. Haven't come across the 1/500 Yamato anywhere yet, I'm sad to say.

    I just discovered that the Tokyo Game Show will be taking place while I'm in Japan! I guess I know what I'll be doing on September 19!

    Tochiro's picture is from the end of episode 3 of Macross Plus.

    It figures that the event would happen a few days after I leave Japan!

    I'm still holding onto the hope that someday, Gaia Gear will be animated.

    Milia will always be number one in my book. There's just something about girls with green hair!

    These damn delays are driving me nuts! Dammit, HAL, stop screwing around and start working on your damned manga!!

    I'm going to have a tough time deciding what Gundam models to buy when I'm in Japan next month!

    Right you are, Mr March! My favorite comical piece from that book is the one where Hikaru's VF-1 is crashing through the bridge's window and you can see Gloval booking it towards the exit.

    On the flip side, I once heard a track from the DYRL soundtrack playing in a segment of Late Night with David Letterman.

    I believe that you can find some episodes (if not the entire series) on YouTube.

    It's a shame, too, as I rather liked quite a few of the designs that came out of Reconguista and would have loved to see some 1/100 kits of them. I generally like to keep my Gundam models limited to the 1/100 scale, but will settle with 1/144 if there isn't any other options.
  25. Beltane70
    Is it just HLJ not having them or was Reconguista In G so unpopular that they didn't bother producing any 1/100 scale kits for it?
