I visited Tokyo last year. The Tenshodo display is still at their offices and while I really enjoyed being able to view the great models, the prices were astronomical. <br /> <br />I found three really great hobby shops that were well stocked and interesting to visit, especially with each of them having models that I have not seen for sale here in the states. You can get much, much better pricing by buying here in the U.S., especially when you use a high volume internet or mail order site. I found no bargains and nothing of enough interest to spend any money. The experience of visiting these stores was a lot of fun and I'm glad I did, but just like in Hong Kong or Singapore there are no true bargains in the hobby or electronics stores any longer. Our American dollar has lost value in the exchange which doesn't help.
