Transformers Expo 2014 Yokohama Part 2

Hi again!


As I recently told I went to Yokohama for the Transformers Expo….It was quite interesting and for me as a long time fan a must to go….soo here is part two of my impressions…please enjoy!



This is the Autobot Blaster in blue variant version and  on the right side next to him its Decepticon second in command Soundwave also in a color variant…really cool clunky 80s design I think!


A blue version of Autobot soldier Bumblebee….rare and only in Japan as far as i know…


Classic big Optimus Prime….I had this when I was a kid….lost the weapons but it should be  on my moms attic somewhere…this japanese version has a silver breastplate….the european and us versions didn't have that.


You could even watch some of the old cartoon in great quality….brought back some memories

Those are Beast Wars Transformers….I like the one  with the eagle on his head!

The guys below are also beast wars insecticons I think but i really have no clue from what the  big squid  robot was…but I guess also beast wars….he looks pretty funny!


Movie Version Optimus Prime Figure….looks expensive!

This guy is huge almost as big as a child…I remember his name is metroplex and he transforms  in a  space station or something….thats an awesome robot!


Optimus Prime limited Evangelion Edition.Collectors item and  pretty expensive but partially made from  metal parts  and overall great quality!

Optimus Prime statues and a robot fan like me!

Looks like asian exclusive Transformers...

...a whole lot of evil deceptions….very rare ones among them!

This is the head of unicron….the big planet like Transformer from the first animated movie from the 80s….
resembles a samurai helmet!

behold the mighty scorponok!


Optimus riding on Grimlock from the new movie…those are statues and they cost a lot!The yellow guy in the front is of course Bumblebee!

Another beautiful Optimus Prime Statue….

This is Masterpiece Grimlock!Watch that tablet with  drinks he holds!


Masterpiece Starscream with crown and cape!This is one of my favorites!

This is an Autobot Hero….Ultramagnus!The Masterpiece Edition will soon be released!

A classic original promote poster for the animated series!

More original artwork this is from a poster that came with some old transformers!

An illuminated Bumblebee sign!

….so i really don't know what or who this is supposed to be…but it stood there close to the exit!

Bye Bye Transformers Expo….this was a lot of fun and made me feel very nostalgic!It was absolutely nice to see all that robots that made me happy as a kid again…even more…and I still love them today!

YAKI (Okonomiyaki +Burger)

In the HARAJUKU area, surrounded by many little clothing shops, there is an Okonomiyaki + Burger fast food shop called "YAKI".

This shop is originally from LONDON. The concept for this shop was inspired by the Japanese food "Okonomiyaki"  (a japanese-style "pancake" made of veggies, and meat and other toppings). 

Yaki has added a western twist to the japanese original, making it into a smaller handheld "burger." These okonomiyaki burgers are available for dine-in and takeout.

The was taste good, price was reasonable, and the shop was clean and comfortable. I also saw some vegetarian burgers on the menu that I want to try next time.

 If there were a  Yaki shop in my neighborhood,I'd definitely be a regular customer.
