Pre-ordered the RG Excia kit.

Next Gunpla will be the Build Fighter Fenice and Media Hopper.

Sorry for lousy pics but camera is still in repairs, using my 2012 Nexus 7.

Today a few kits are crossing the Bench.

Below is a PIC of the 1/12 Wave Powered Suit mime will get a red/purple camp and bed fixed pose.

Next to it is one of my D-Style Patlabors (got all 4 kits) the AV-X0.

Tomorrow it is back to my Bandai 1/72 VF1-A/S with Strike Parts.

Put the Marshydog aside till painting, got a few morer Votoms kits uncoming plus a lot of Votoms paints.

Put a started Fine Molds 1/48 T-47 Airspeeder on the bench.

Undecided if I will paint it in 2-tone low viz grey or as a Racer.

I enjoyed Black Lagoon, Btooom. G.T.O is fun.

Gasasaki is also fun with some great mecha but goes off into Shinto later on.

Another series I really enjoyed is Hell Girl.

New anime series/seasons usually start in April or October, some get a lot of press some none.

Still need 2 kits to my happiness:

Bandai 1/72 VF-25 Super parts for my RVF-25.

Hasegawa 1/72 VE-1 Elintseeker.

Always preferred support or similar vehicles hence my love for Destroids.

Nice buildup. That is one kit I am still after.

I got AD ... Oooh Shiney. Simply called ADOS.

I like the "Don't take pictures." sign.

Nice Bayonetta.

WF is over, anything else if interest at the Show?

I got it pre-ordered, will go well with my 1/35 Kenbishi HAW206.

Did a search, here is a website I found very useful for travel in Japan.

http://www.hyperdia.com/en/

Enter your starting and stopping stations, get travel times, transfers, ticket price and more.

Kaiyodo opened a hotline for dealers that can't make I, many had shipped their goods but can't make it themselves.

Many people also having probs to hit the voting for the new Tokyo Governor.

Tamara 1/35 Marshydog (clear Plastic) plus Adler's Nest Main Sensor and Rifle barrels.

Big Votoms fan here even got the Wave 1/60 'Operation Sunsa' Unit kit(plastic, resin, PE and white metal).

Trains/Subway stop running between 01:00am-01:30am(depends on line).

05:00pm at Broadway will give you 3hrs till the 08:00pm closing time, most shops here close around that time.

Mandarake is usually open on Wednesdays but other shops might be closed. I often go there on wednesdays.

Yodobashi camera should be open till 10:00pm, one in Shinjuku outside the station. Not sure where as I got one closer to me.

Yeah, flights, trains, Busesd, etc are affected.

The big guys are at the show as they setup yesterday.

Many off the smaller and private dealers usually only setup on the day.

Haven't been to a show in some time as these g-kits are not to my liking.

, way different from shows 15+yrs ago.

Myself not going to the Show got a fair backlog on kits to build and no storage room till than.

GW might also be good, Tokyo gets empty around that time.

Show is a go. Getting there might be as bit harder.

Show is still on but the outside area has been moved indoors 2nd floor.

A few options:

Watch the yahoo Japan auction from the time the show starts, many will buy stuff and open auctions while still at the show.

Have a friend visit the show and buy stuff for you.

Often if stuff designed Event Only will make it into a proper release if the sales/pre-orders were good.

Usually 2-8weeks. 8 weeks is the guaranteed time.

Had a few kits take 2 months but those were Volks 1/100 FSS resin kits.

Cyborg 009 is one of the classic manga/anime.

Tokyo weather report.

Heavyish snowfall today, some flights and trains are affected.

Not going to be fun waiting for the show to open tomorrow. Also good chance some dealers won't make it.

Just did a 7km walk in the snow with a Curry wurst and Gluehwein break.
