Ahh, I just got back from my trip to Japan, and let me say... it was great.
What a beautiful country. Anyways, I had better stick to airsoft stuff here. So I kind of went there looking for whatever airsoft stuff I could find, but I rarely ran across it.
I brought back a copies of Military Toys magazine and Toygun Arms magazine (which are awesome). I'll take them down to the JT some time and show 'em off. My favorite is Toygun Arms. It has a lot of detailed info about some of the newer GBB's. Basically that's all it has... and it's all in Japanese, but I can still kinda tell when they think the gun is kick a**.
Actual airsoft guns were very rare. In a total of 2 toy/ novelty shops out like the 100 I visited, I found a small collection of springers, but nothing special.
Anyways, I hardly had enough time to look for airsoft stuff anyways. I was always trying to keep up with our perky Japanese tour guide.
I did, however, manage to satisfy my taste for all things Armored Core and Ghost in the Shell. I think I'm the first kid on my block to own a copy of Armored Core: Nine Breaker. Now all I need is a Japanese PS2. Maybe someone here knows a little bit about modifying PS2's to work with games from other regions... :?:
I'll get some pics of the airsoft magazines posted in a while... I have to scan them in.
