Ginrai Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Up on www.destroyallpodcastsdx.com is a new podcast about the closing of a vintage Japanese toy store near Oakland, California (which is near San Francisco if you need that). We recorded this at Ton Kiang, the restaurant that hosted the after party. The blog post also contains a good 30 pictures from the Kimono My House trip as well as the Ton Kiang. Yes, we even have photographed evidence of Gakeen's big day out with a granny tranny in a hideous wig! Check it out if you are into robot toys.

Though I must say I was surprised they were still around when I went there last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean, they are kind of out of the way. But they are gonna continue selling stuff online, but it's not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beltane70 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I didn't think that Kimono My House still existed until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britai 7018 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I managed to get in one last trip the Wednesday before it closed... what a shame. It was a good store for the classic vintage and the hard to find. Got all of my Macross pins from them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hopefully they spruce up the webstore a great deal... it seems to be missing alot of inventory seen in the pics from the closing, and for the price of alot of the items they really oughta have pics of everything. I would certainly spend some money with them if they had their whole catalog online with pics so I can buy confidently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
