I timed my trip to coincide with the Winter Wonder Festival.
I'm super excited!

I want to bring back at least one Chogokin. Preferably Leopardon, but only at a good price.

I'm alsointerested in getting a Henshin Cyborg and outfit. I realize I can't have everything. And that my funds are limited, but I'mgoing to try to make the most of it.
One thing I WILL be doing, is attending Wonderfest. I'd like to get a Sunguts Shin Godzilla (they're huge). It won't ruin my trip if I don't, but I'm willing to pay a premium if I miss out.

I guess my bringing back a big Shin depends on the color and sculpt. I'm not so interested in his open mouth sculpt.
But I do love his Kumata-Kun sculpt.

Four years on and looking back at this post makes me smile.
I DID go to Japan. I did NOT bring home a Chogokin (not that first trip anyway), but I did find not one, but Two Sunguts Shin Godzillas.
As well as a vintage Bullmark of the big G himself.
I found lots of other great stuff that trip too. But I still feel that same excitement reading about my hopes for that first trip. I'm going back for my third round in April of next year. Still as excited as ever.

My Wife had no desire to visit Japan for fear that I would drag her to every Mandarake Toy Store in search for my Chogokin Holy Grail (mentioned on this thread). Since Popy Black Raideen has been acquired, she's all up for it. My childhood Japanese friend and his Wife have visited there recently. Now that the pressure is off, the 4 of us will go there. I can't wait. I will definitely pull a (drunken) Bill Murray/Roxy Music at the first Karaoke place.
You are transparent; I see many things... I see plans within plans.
Booking trip #3 on Monday. We'll be going in the Spring.
Photos from my last trip can be found on my instagram.

I'm gonna be looking for a lot of the same stuff (Popy Megos, 45 records, World Heroes, Bullmarks, Chogokins, Keshi) but I have a whole list of newer stuff I'll be hunting too.
I also want some manga, and horror themed items.
