Was pretty sure I passed by this store sometime two years ago. Currently in Tokyo myself, might head down to akiba tmrw. Anyone can tell me where exactly this place is?

3rd floor of Kotobukiya, behind HEY! I was just there yesterday and there's almost nothing left, so don't get your hopes up.

They are closer to the concept (Type A in particular) drawings than to the final art. :)
I need no games without lolis. Nuclear blast wind blowing some skirts off = instant awesomeness.

Also closer to the actual in-game graphics.
The biggest unanswered question is where is the money? [1CCS]

I posted this on the vid, but maybe I'm better off asking here. May I ask where in Akiba this store is? I go there every few weeks to pick up retro games, but I haven't seen this particular place before (or maybe I just walked past it without realising). Where abouts is it from the Trader 2 store, or the Sega Arcade? I'm guessing it's around that area somewhere?

I gotta get me some Mushihimesama merchandise!

There's no Mushihimesama stuff there anymore. There are some DOJ model kits, Deathsmiles posters, and a few Akai Katana t-shirts. There were literally half a dozen things there when I was there last week. The shop is across the street from Super Potato on the 3rd floor.

Dude, can you tell me where super-potato is? I don't know if I've been in that game store before (as I've been in a few) but I swear I can't find that store anywhere. Is it on the main street, or one of the back roads?

Also, shame no more mushi stuff :(

Looks like it's to the internet to buy my stuff.

Oh, wait, I think I have been in there! I don't think I was impressed with their selection of games :(

I get most of my good deals at Trader.

I was there recently, about a month and a half back. Whatever that's left is on the third floor with all the other toys they sell. This one's near the escalator to the next floor iirc.

Well, that kinda sucks. I missed the boat yet again. Ah, well, nice to see them selling other shmup merchandise i.e. Under Defeat, Gradius.

Hey Rancor, are those the Silverhawk Next figures in the whiteish boxes above the R-Gray kit in the second pic? Silhouette on the side looks like it. I havent been able to find those online yet, theyre supposed to be out now.

Not that awesome selection but a few decent items still left. It's better to have ED figurine than some Galuda underwear. :lol:
