the brilliant thing about coming by this shrine (well, it FELT like a pilgrimage) of a model/figurine shop in the heart of akihabara was that.. the only few things that i wanted were either (i) too expensive (ii) too big (iii) all of the above. but that didn't er stop me from drooling over much of the store. it of course didn't help that the store itself was located in a building of which was totally comprised of stores selling homologous stuff i.e seven levels of unparalleled heaven (i can't think of a better word. so sue me)

all thats left is to visit the home of squaresoft. *rubs hands in glee*
