Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
You can try to bootleg this invite and I’m sure someone eventually will in China. But for now, this is what it looks like. We featured Michael Lau and actually were the first to sell his Crazy Children toys in 2000. Or was it 1999. It’s a long forgotten fact, but we sold them as they came out, usually in pairs. It was soon after issue 18. Now you can celebrate the 10 years by checking out Barracuda store on Melrose. 7769 Melrose. LA, CA 90066. I don’t know how many different kinds of figures there are, but I got the girl figure which is really nice. This show promises to be interesting.

This car sits outside of Ostrich Land. I’m not sure if it’s the greatest thing around, but for a few bucks, you can get some feed, and from across the fence, you can feed ostriches. They’re not friendly, since all they want is your food. Use two hands so you don’t get your finger bit off… Once you run out of food, they’ll move on to the next person with more food. It’s sort of like this video, which is super short. This is the LEGO section of Danish Days which happens once a year over a specific weekend. LEGO, Denmark. Yes!
