What's up,
Anyone here from New York City? I wanna know if there is any where in the City I can buy Bit Char-Gs or even the imitations? I'm guessing some shop in Chinatown will have them but I'm wondering if anyone know's exactly which shop.

I live in Central Jersey and used to go to Penguin Village in Chinatown to get Gundam model kits and other Japanese toys and video games. The prices in Penguin Village were always great. Anybody know if any shops in Penguin Village carry Bit Char-Gs? I really don't want to head into the city unless I'm positive they carry them since its a hike for me to go there. If anybody knows let me know.

Thanks,
Joe S

we have the same kind of place in seattle , big gundam shop. They started selling a couple months ago. but I think people were demanding them and the guy who owns the store just decided to sell them. so you might aswell ask them. if not that then... hey... there's always the internet!

Imageanime in Manhattan carries Bit Char-G stuff. Give them a call. BTW is Penguin Village in Manhattan? Is that the little mall on Elizabeth St?
Thanks,

mcfitch,
Yes, penguin village is that little mall on elizabeth street. I know it goes by many names but thats what I've heard to called mostly. So you've been there before? Its a great place. The prices are excellent on gundam kits and other japanese imports. Thats why I was hoping that they carried Bits. I might just go up there and take a look. I figure with all the imitation bits coming I should at least be able to find those if not the originals.

Yes, I know imageanime has them. I've seen them on the website. But I've actually bought stuff at this shop before and the prices are too jacked up for me. But thanks for the info.
