Yes, I'd heard that Tokyo Toys had a shop in the Trocadero. I've seen their
stand at anime/manga/sci-fi events but I've never been to their shop. I keep
meaning to go, like I keep meaning to go to the Forbidden Planet but one of the
curious things about actually working in London is that you don't normally go
sightseeing or visiting places in another part of London after work. Although
last month I did spend a day travelling round the Square Mile tracking down and
photographing the City of London Boundary Dragons.
