Tamashii nation is a show where Bandai showcase their products. This year's autumn show is in Tokyo on 10/2 to 10/4. They have different limited products for sale at each show. The GX-45A is a limited product only available for purchase if you attend this year's autumn show, everything else you see is aftermarket. You would need to ask your friend to go purchase entrance ticket and line up at the show to actually buy that product. show info: tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/limited products: tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/pickup/index.htmlIf your Japanese friend happens to live in Tokyo and are available that day, could you please ask him to get one for me too!?? Good luck!

Aha! Gotcha! So it's something like the San Diego Comic Con or the New York Toy Fair. Unfortunately, my friend lives in Osaka but I'll be sure to ask him if he'll be in Tokyo on those dates! Not likely, but worth a shot!

Tokyo should be renamed PHOENIX, since it's constantly being demolished and then re-built in time for another round of Mecha Destruction. Or at the hands of giant creatures.

;D It's coincidential that you mention it. I heard a character say something similar in the movie "Godzilla: Tokyo SOS"... if I remember, he learned that the monsters were coming, and he was pissed-off saying something like "Why does this always happen in Japan?!" ;D zozo-Magengar Tokyo should be renamed PHOENIX, since it's constantly being demolished and then re-built in time for another round of Mecha Destruction. Or at the hands of giant creatures.

Anyone hear anything about Hong Kong hosting a Tamashii Nations expo as well after the Japan Event? Supposedly Atami Night Mazinger will be sold there as well so there might be more than one way to get this item. I haven't confirmed this yet though.
But if Hong Kong will indeed have the event I think the prices for the item might go down (just like Naked Tetsujin and the SDCC event).
