| Me resisting temptation after Susan found this hobby shop. |
Susan took me to a physics conference in Japan, where she was presenting a paper, afterwards we traveled around the country. We had a fab time, and we both came back with goodies. We were lucky to find a bunch of stuff in Tokyo.
Most of our stash of goodies are in per the picture above, except for a couple of 1/60th scale Zwerg kits I picked up too. They were cheaper than the 1/48th toy Zwergs I found.
Susan picked up a Dirty Pair Yuri figurine, and a 1/24th Brutishdog, piloted by Fiyana a character from Armored Trooper VOTOMS.
I found a lot of other tempting items, but not being made of money, and not wanting to expand into other sizes of Scopedogs, I passed on this tempting bad boy.
However, I found a 1/12th scale Strong Bacchus Scopedog at a price that was a steal, which turned out to be so because it had a broken ankle, but I can fix that.

I also picked up a couple of T-shirts along the way too.

Very cool, I am going to Japan soon too and I am looking forward to browsing the hobby shops. Not sure what I will buy, if anything much, though.
