Hey guys just a quick message form you good friend regarding my current japan trip (now in Osaka). I am very surprised to find modeling items are very cheap here (so is alcohol, my whiskey and coke is good). Ive picked up a lot models mostly UC msv and vintage goods. A few days ago my friend found out about a Gundam Expo in Osaka at a place called Hanshin Department store in Umeda. Will check it out tomorrow and post a lot of photos when back...

Ive seen some mad models and stuff so far will write back soon...

Hi I'm back home from my long trip around Japan. I've spent time in Aso Kyushu, Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. I've possibly have bought almost 100 1:144 and smaller vintage and standard models including a heap of gundam color paint, tools and general after market stuff. I found the best places to buy models were Niponbashi Osaka which had 'Osaka Gundams' (a really awesome hobby shop) plus many other hobby and second hand stores. Akihabara with Yodobashi Camera, Aso Bit city with the famous Dengeki Hobby both, Mandarake and many other second hand stores. Its was a really fun trip, everything was very cheap compared to standard of living back home. Highly recommended trip...

Whoa, that's a whole load of stuffs U got there, DWD. U might as well consider opening a shop of Ur own.  :D Cos some people would pay good money for what U got there. I see some of the places that I usually go too, usually weekly if my wallet allows. Anyhoo, glad U enjoyed Ur trip.  ;)
