What a day. Almost 12 hours at the parks.

Decided to be methodical about the Tokyo Disney shopping thing this time, so we started out with reconnaissance missions through both the park store outside and the big Disney store in the Ikspiari mall nearby. I had a couple of lines I really wanted to grab (mostly new years-themed Stitchies) but it looked manageable.

THEN we hit the parks.

Disney Sea turns out to have tons of Raiders-themed Stitch stuffs now. This was in a store where I found maybe one Stitch item last year. And then the final blow came when Mr. Tikistitch insisted we go into the boutique next to POTC at TDL. Turns out, there's now a few DOZEN items of Stitch-themed POTC merch. They had backpacks, headscarves, charms, and even POTC Stitch UNDERWEAR. No, I am absolutely not kidding. We set both Mr. Tiki and my credit card companies a-howling (true!). But, nabbed it all.

Back at hotel drinking beer. Does anybody else hate the electrical parade?

Hey hey, my friend just got back from Japan, and on his Facebook he had a picture of a claw machine full of Stitch wearing a jogging suit at Tokyo Tower. I don't remember seeing you posting about one, have you seen it?

I have a Stitch in a jogging suit, but it may be different! I would need to see an image. There's so many different claw machine toys, it's crazy.

This one?

Nope, don't think I have that one!

I guess it would be kind of hard to collect all of those too, it looks like they all have different numbers on their jerseys. Can't keep up with all the claw machine plushies!

You better save up some cash for the upcoming 10" Stitch series from Mindstyle. The Tiki one is especially stunning.

Eh, from what I remember, I liked the Electrical Parade. However I've only seen it twice and that was good enough to last a lifetime.

Linkie?

It should be on the Mindstyle blog but the site's not working. I know I saw it somewhere else....
I'll try to find it and send you the link.
