Last Call!

Tomorrow and on Sunday, I'm going to try to sneak in a little bit of shopping time while doing the other stuff I need to do - a couple of stops I need to make are on the way to places I HAVE to go, so it works out.

A few of you asked me for stuff, and I've had dismal luck finding most of it, but I'm willing to give it one last stab if I have the time so...

Last Call! Anime and manga stuff, random Japanese-y tourist stuff (fans, geta, manekineko's, paresols, etc.), food items that will keep (need to keep 1 - 2 days for Bloomington folks; a week and a half+ for NYers), or any thing else you might want me to bring back. Name it, and I'll at least make an attempt - if I can find the time. Try to be specific. :)

If you ask for something heavy, I won't get it, and I'll kill you. :)

A keitai strap with dice on it. I used to have one, then lost the phone it was attached to.

I'll keep my eyes open. :)

Domo!

Walnut?

Eh, well, sometimes you just feel like a nut.
Sometimes, you don't.

Life's funny that way.

Um, this will be weird but... Pepsi(it tastes better there! o_o), flavored kit-kats and pretz.

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
All of that is very available, so that's easy enough. It'll only be a little thing of pepsi though - drinks are heavy - sorry about that...

[identity profile] nekomata.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
So...you'll only partially kill me? ^_-


Thanks!

hmm . . . totally random

but if you find either a Vivi pin or patch on your travel that would be awesome plus it's not that heavy so i don't have to worry about death. oh, and if you come across an awesome thingy for my phone that would work too as the monkey one you got me a few years back is trying to jump ship everytime i take my cell phone out of my purse. i think i've had to relocate 3 times this past week. not fun.

hope you are enjoying your last few days in Japan!

on a random note:
do you have any pictures of scones that you made?

Re: hmm . . . totally random

I can look for both of those things; keitai straps are everywhere and anyway I'll already be looking for swan_tower

I get the feeling that you are up to something...but no, even with all the photos I take, I don't think I have any scone pictures. This is the closest - one of the baskets does, in fact, contain scones I made.

This has been on my mind, actually. Yurakucho isn't that far from someplace I already want to go (must...get...Tsukiji...sushi...) so I'll see what I can do. I may not have the time to go either place though.

everyone could use a manekineko - 'specially if it's really from Japan!

oooh! hello kitty stuff is fun too!

but, of course, you don't have to get me anything- we hardly see each other anyway. But I'd still love it! ^_^

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I will be happy to please. Hello Kitty stuff is actually ludicrously expensive here, but there are zillions of cute manekineko's so that'll be no problem. :)

[identity profile] eurudite.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! Thanks a million! : )

[identity profile] dyrecorn.livejournal.com 2007-12-06 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
If you haven't already, I would love something related to the new eva movie (or any other anime we've discussed).

Thanks for looking!

See you soon. ^_^

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
You know I have looked for Captain Harlock stuff in every single anime store I've gone to without finding anything?? AAAA! Anyway, I can get you something eva-related easily; they sell that sort of thing at a store I already wanted to go to. :)

[identity profile] dyrecorn.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Harlock stuff is very hard to find, sadly. I'd expect there'd be general Leiji Matsumoto stuff around, though - he's always been a popular illustrator.

But eva stuff would be awesome, so thanks!

I have seen some general Leiji stuff, lots of whatshername, the thin tall chick with the long blond hair, but no Harlock. :(

[identity profile] dyrecorn.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Do you mean the blond in this:



If so, her name is Maetel. I like most of the characters from the Leiji-verse, so something with her or Emeraldas on it would be cool also.

I've only ever seen "Galaxy Express 999" - I really liked it, but it was years ago so I'd forgotten her name, but that's definitely who I meant - I wish I'd known those would do; I've seen some stuff with both her and Emeraldas, but it was in a place I won't have time to go to again. :(

It doesn't come out in the US for another 12 months at least, but is there any chance you can get me one of these? ;) It's a little heavy though, so plz don't kill me :)

lol, well, opening the link crashes firefox, so it must be pretty darned heavy...is it a car?? I'd bring you a car IF there was a land route from here and if you paid for it. ;) Or instant teleportation.

[identity profile] ultimabaka.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's a Nissan Skyline GT-R...soooo very sexy...a real Wall Street car...but at 85 g's, I'll be payin you back for a while...and there only land route from there to here would involve water, and I dun wanna get my baby wet :P. Barrin that, you can get me one of the limited edition gold plated Saint Seiya dolls :P *huggle*

Can I have a Claire?! I just can't seem to find one in the States right now.

You'll have to wait four days for delivery, but I think it can be arranged.
