I wonder whether the friend is just direction hopeless or something, but now it makes sense - the place has moved!<br /><br />thanks for the info, I should be updating my maps to take this into account soon. <br /><br />I've actually just been to Japan about a month ago - Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-41829169964197390382012-07-23T18:34:25.482+08:002012-07-23T18:34:25.482+08:00And oh, just in case you're wondering...the pr...And oh, just in case you're wondering...the previous nick 'JesusDied4u' is my older blogspot nick.

My sis and bro-in-law are currently in Sapporo (YES! :) - so of course the 'wise' me asked them to go to Mandarake for me! Haha.... <br /><br />But to my horrors, they SMSed me few hours ago that the 5th floor of the 'COSMO' mall is empty! Mandarake has moved!

It's very hard to find from street level and "easier" to find when you are walking through that underground shopping street.<br /><br />I believe the selection changes constantly, so its really luck of the draw when a person is there. =)Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-9480897473882766372012-02-15T18:19:14.825+08:002012-02-15T18:19:14.825+08:00I was at this SAME SHOP (Mandarake) in 2010 (I was...I was at this SAME SHOP (Mandarake) in 2010 (I was actually in Sapporo for 3 months, from Apr-June). Stumbled upon this treasure trove of TF-wonders when I was walking down the streets...and then saw some sort of signs that mentioned toys. If I recall correctly, Mandarake is 5th floor right? (or 4th?) Just 1 floor below Uniqlo?<br /><br />Sweet memories man :) I also took similar pics like yours!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903290503703488562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-36220860830047096402011-07-19T00:16:11.891+08:002011-07-19T00:16:11.891+08:00@ Himawari: No idea really. that was awhile ago an...@ Himawari: No idea really. that was awhile ago and to be honest, I didn't even notice there was a Battle Convoy there till you pointed it out! From what I can recall, these are quite common in Japan and variously diaclone are as well, but because I don't collect them, I often don't remember the prices. <br /><br />I will keep an eye out and report prices next time because I know thatHeroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-41159513245032959492011-07-18T04:02:07.030+08:002011-07-18T04:02:07.030+08:00What was the battle convoy priced at in the same p...What was the battle convoy priced at in the same pic as the browning?Himawarinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-11802528067124689982011-02-21T20:00:36.510+08:002011-02-21T20:00:36.510+08:00Roger, I would have so bought it in a heartbeat.
