I’m currently in Tokyo on business and just made a good deal at a LHS. Walked out with 2 Tamiya and 2 Hasegawa kits (all in 1/48) and saved some $$$.
If you do travel, remember what is exotic/foreign to us in the U.S. will be everyday for the locals, hence a bit cheaper. Even better, you support a LHS. [:)]
have you ordered a container yet to send all the kits you end up buying back home
Actually I considered buying a “cheap” suitcase to haul the load back…
This was my plan when I PCSed from Oki, I was going to go out and buy up a bunch of Hasegawa and Tamiya kits right before the movers came to pack us up and just have them added into the existing stash. Unfortunately, things quickly got rushed and I didn’t get to make my last trip to the LHS there. Good advice, though, Dragonfire. Makes me wish I had done a better job of planning ahead.
Sounds like a pretty good haul. Enjoy the builds !
Regards, Rick
I could hear my wife rolling her eyes over the phone when I told her I was “going to look” [:D]; and I’m pretty sure she just shook her head when I told her of the buy [:D]. Now I just need to make the time to build them. Hopefully I’ll be home for the most of May.
Glad to hear you found some good stuff!
One of the great things about Japan (at least from a hobby perspective) is the proliferation of LHSs! There are at least six within walking distance fo my apartment in Osaka. Gotta love it!!
