Hobby Japan October issue [from
Comic Toranoana]
Caught up on most of my manga from years ago! Also I'm currently 100% caught up on all of Satou Shouji's non-hentai (ie, not drawn under the INAZUMA pen-name) manga.
Couldn't find the latest volumes of a couple of shorter/smaller and less-popular manga that I used to buy, so I'll have to hunt for those some other way.
And I always make a point to buy the available Hobby Japan and Dengeki Hobby issues for each of my Japan visits; too bad Dengeki Hobby stopped publishing their magazine in July of 2015.
... And yes, I'm the only moron out there who comes back from Japan packing 27 volumes of manga in his suitcase (would've been 32 if I could find everything I was looking for).
Toys:

-
DX Double Lockseed [

-
Zect and Wizard mini-plates [from
Kamen Rider The Diner]
-
Kamen Rider Kabuto coaster [from
Kamen Rider The Diner]
It's awesome having the current-show Driver RIGHT when the show started airing! And the first two Ride Watches! Too bad we couldn't find the Ghost one as well.
And randomly found 5 out of the 6 Lockseeds I still needed! All I need now is the Candy toy or Gashapon Kabuto Lockseed.
And while we weren't supposed to get the plates and coasters from the Kamen Rider the Diner (says so in the menu), the waitress gave them to us when we were leaving. Score!
Gundam/Modelling stuff:
-
Gundam Base Limited HG Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode (Metallic Gloss Injection) [
MISB, from
The Gundam Base]
-
Gundam Base Limited Action Base 5 (Unicorn Color) [

-

-
Gundam Seed Kira Yamato coaster [from
Gundam Café Akihabara]
Didn't have room for more kits, but I figured if I was to get a single kit from the Gundam Base, I might as well make it the exclusive one that best represents my visit.
And the Gundam Café in Akihabara is awesome. I'll make sure to hit it up every single time I'm around.

-

Lots of games!
Wanted a physical version to Fatal Frame 5 (already have the North American English digital version).
Blade Arcus was an impulse purchase at ~2000yen; I love fighting games and Tony Taka's art, what could go wrong?
I needed the JP versions to the Megaman X collections, because 1) I wanted a physical copy to Collection 2, which is only available in Japan as the separate release, and 2) I can't stand the English voices and need the JP voices/intros to Megaman X4 and onwards.
Gundam Wing Endless Duel is something I've wanted to actual cart for for a VERY long time. Love this game.
GBA Gundam Seed is a game that I loved a lot too, and it was only a few hundred yen.
