They should make a second addition to that really great book and put his stuff in it.

I used to live up in Watsonville in the late 1980's and I remember my parents taking me to Kimono My House as what I remember that it was the only place in the San Francisco area that sold Japanese toys and such although I remember going to a shop in Monterey. I bought a nice robochanman set of Super Mario Brothers figures and mascots. I still own it and it still has the Kimono My House Tag on it. along with Pony Toy, Kimono my House was really one of the first retailers to sell Japanese toy items on the West Coast and it quite sad to see them go as they were one of the last links to anime past in California. Kudos to Warren to assembling a collection as beautiful as that. I really wish I could focus on one Hobby but I have too many interest and I have to spread the love out. I don't even recognize half the items pictured! I hope some of his items are documented and Josh next time bring your photography canopy! I need to make an effort this year to meet up with my fellow DX-ers, Hopefully I will finally meet you guys in person, you are having too much fun to be left out of all of this!

I would gladly kill each and every one of you get it. I'd heard about it, but never seen it until last weekend. That is the only known specimen, I believe". Heh..Warren and I met for Dim sum at China Pearl the day before and he brought it with him and I was choking on a dumpling when I saw it. The waiters seemed confused. I had not been to his temple of toy doom is a long time. It was somehow centering to see the same boxes and fading notes on each. Warren is a true statesman and scholar of the hobby. We were all glad the skype worked. It was surreal for sure seeing you guys out there. Wish I could have made it. "That red limbed Capsule Robo G in the last picture is amazing.
