Back from Tokyo!

In case you were wondering what happened to all the posts... I was in Tokyo last week. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

Here's a picture from outside of the JR Ichigaya Station, the sakura were incredible. I walked along the treeline from Yotsuya to Ichigaya, then headed to Akiba.

On Wednesday, I was staying near Tsukiji, so I had to make a trip to the fish market. I woke up at 5:30am and headed down there, but unfortunately I didn't find the auction area until after 6 or so... so I didn't get to see the maguro auctions. What I did see was a complete madhouse. Anyone who's been down there probably understands why they want to keep tourists out... you're just constantly in the way of everyone... even when you're standing on the side. Anyway, I managed to get a picture of this huge ass tuna.

Tomorrow I should be able to post some of our new figures. If you can't wait, just head on over the site and click the "in stock" link.

New sticker sighting.

Ha! One of our distributors finally took a final stance against reckless couriers.

Every once in a while they'd drop a box or something and dent the box... the figure boxes might get dented as well. During our quality control review, we'd get them replaced. It's time and money on all sides when this occurs, so the distributor started plastering the boxes with fragile stickers (the red ones).

Today, was my first sighting of these new yellow ones, they say:

Kado uchi chu-i
Nimotsu wa okyakusama no inochi desu

Corner Impact Caution
This package is the lifeblood of the customer (or something to that effect).

Well, the packages all arrived without damage, yay! BTW, these boxes contained the new Suzumiya Haruhi Gekisou Ver. figures, w00t!
