This book is absolutely a must-have for anyone considering a trip to Tokyo and toy hunting. A friend of mine field tested it during his first trip to The Holy Land and found it invaluable.

Nice Godzilla, where'd you get it?

Congrats...

...though I'm not sure why you keep insisting I helped somehow. I don't remember doing a damn thing other than saying "Hey, wanna go to Tokyo?". LOL

I saw this at my local Comic

I saw this at my local Comic Shop! Put it on the list of "to buy" when I get closer to the planned Japan trip. I actually reference the part about the wealth of coolness at Toys 'r' Us's in Japan to my friends...makes me giddy just thinking about it.

I actually thought this was old news, or I would have posted something earlier. I didn't realize it was just out. Very cool, guys.

Oh, and Josh got me involved with the forums by doing the same thing a while back with a review of the MS in Pocket Sazabi. I'm a sucker for swag. ;-)

awesome

...That's what I remember thinking when I was looking over the prototype I(is that the right word for books?) for this at the last summit. Would love to snag a signed copy but either way I'm definetily gonna pick up a copy of this asap.

It looks awesome. It's a shame that the odds of my going to Japan in the next decade are so small.

Very impressive. If you

Very impressive.

If you want to do one on Hong Kong, I can help.

If one is flying to other parts of Asia, such as Thailand, its possible to arrange a change of planes in Tokyo, up to 8 hours. With a book like this, you could get in and out, without having to spend the night.

Having street maps is pretty critical in Japan, once you leave the station it can be confusing to figure out where you are.

Good

I remember way back when Josh and I were new to all this stuff and neither of us thought we would ever get to Japan. I very much doubt I will but I might just get this book as a substitute for going.

After years coming to this

After years coming to this site, this finally made me create an account. Where was this book 8 months ago, while I cluelessly wondered the streets of Tokyo? Thanks for making this, you just solved a lot of Christmas shopping for me.

Finaly, I had the motivation to create an account here! ^_^
Actually, I visit your site in a daily basis, but this book is to yummy to pass on. And, if I won't win it, I will probably still get it, because my greatest dream to travel to Tokyo, and shop in only the most finest toyshops there available!

The obvious answer is:

Dice in Tokyo

I will be in Tokyo and Kyoto next month (as well as Hong Kong, Phuket & Bangkok)

I am a longtime dice collecter who is hoping to find some things of interest during the trip.

Any recomendations as to stores the sell dice are greatly appreciated. The wider the variety sold the better.

Thanks in advance
