If I'm doing my math right, a set of figures (5 figures: 3 standing, 1 kneeling, 1 horse) would be about $10 after tax. However, these things aren't light and would probably cost around $10 to ship, even w/o the neat box they come in. They come already wrapped, much like an Asian Pear.

As for furniture, it's made for a country doll house and each piece is $1.50 or $2.00. I don't think the boss would let me take pictures... Hmmmmm...

Daiso

In Japan, 100 yen shops, or one-coin shops, similar to dollar stores in the United States and pound shops in the U.K., are commonly known as "hyakkin". Daiso is a major player in the 100 yen shop industry - so much so that its name has become synonymous with "hyakkin".

100 yen shops are enhancing their status in the retail industry to rank alongside department stores, supermarkets and convenience stores.

Through a wide selection of products ranging from miscellaneous daily goods to food, cosmetics, home décor and traditional Japanese arts and crafts, together with amazingly low prices, Daiso endeavours to bring pleasure and satisfaction to its customers.

With a broad customer base that extends from children to the elderly, the 100 yen shop industry has grown to occupy an indispensable place in the lives of the Japanese public. Daiso products can be found everywhere - in homes, workplaces and shops.


In the early days, there was concern surrounding the quality and stable supply of products that were sold at a flat price, but customers’ perspective changed as a result of the efforts of Hirotake Yano, Daiso’s founder and current president, to improve product quality, leading to Daiso’s growth into the largest 100 yen chain store in the country.

By winning the trust of department stores and other major retailers, and hence the confidence of customers, we have grown to occupy an indispensable place in people’s lives. Daiso is far and away the leader in the industry and its name has become synonymous with the 100 yen shop.

Daiso has expanded its product lines and number of shops on such a scale that it can no longer be categorized solely as a 100 yen shop. It is now so well established as part of everyday life that it has become the destination of choice for the purchase of daily commodities. Our aim is to develop and sell products which are of true value to our customers by focusing on originality and quality.

In the year ended March 2005, Daiso sales exceeded 320 billion yen and our network of shops across Japan numbered over 2,400. The number of shops is growing at a rate of 20 to 30 shops a month and our overseas network is also increasing at a rapid pace.

We aim to continue expanding our network around the world in our endeavour to bring a touch of colour and pleasure to customers’ lives.

Okay Rich, you dragged me here, whats all the fuss about? *looks around* Oh, I see, hi guys, don't mind me, I'm harmless :) It's been a while since I have done any customizing (maybe I'll take some pics of my old customs), but as far as finds are concerned, I found a very nice MOC Action Force Tele-Viper a few weeks ago for a good price.

I feel so left out! I haven't been able to buy toys for myself in a long time! but for none Joe related I did recently buy the forces of valor M109 Howitzer die cast toy! Sorry its what i use in the National Guard!!!!! I am hoping I can get some of the 25th Anniversary figures.

Nice to see you here!

You don't have to worry about a lack of customs for this site -- I only have one custom figure I've actually finished painting and that was about 6-7 years ago...! The main focus here is shots of our toys in action, either for one-off (or short series of) pics or to tell more elaborate photo-stories. Check the archives, there's some stunning work on display! And if you get inspired to set up some figures and get a few snaps of your own, the more the merrier!

Lots of stuff today..............I got my Cy-Girls 'Destiny' and (thanks to Frank!!! You rock!!!) Agent Faces and Claymore!!! :D

Got my dio stuff from Graham. I also got some figures; replaced my Mercer v2, got a psychout (battlecorps version), A battlecorps General Hawk (black jacket) Blowtorch v2, and a Hannibal Reborn for a custom I'm making!

After many years and failed eBay auctions, I finally won a Phantom X-19 stealth plane. :) It's complete including blueprints, filecard etc, but needs a bit of a clean. I also picked up a blue Nullifier from last year's convention.

Darn, wish I knew you needed one! I gave a near complete one to my daughters little friend about 2 months ago! All it was missing was one missile and one seat belt! (and of course, the driver, file card and blueprints) You need to post the stuff you're looking for in the Wants/Needs thread! ;)
