Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
That's me next to a Mold A Rama machine. You don't see many of these, but when you do, rejoice in it. A rare beast, you won't see any on the westcoast, hardly any on the east coast, and there you have it. It's something special. The Field Museum has 4 of them and they spit out dinosaurs! A lot of you kids won't even know what I'm talking about. $2 gives you a cool replica made of wax! I'm holding...
That’s me next to a Mold A Rama machine. You don’t see many of these, but when you do, rejoice in it. A rare beast, you won’t see any on the westcoast, hardly any on the east coast, and there you have it. It’s something special. The Field Museum has 4 of them and they spit out dinosaurs! A lot of you kids won’t even know what I’m talking about. $2 gives you a cool replica made of wax! I’m holding on in the photo. That’s a stegasaurus in pretty orange. I seriously want one of these machines. Have one for me? It’s amazing how nice they look especially when they have to be something like 30 or 40 years old. These masks are amazing, aren’t they? They’re as creative as the work by the kids who do art today. That’s an awesome Mastodon! Nearly a full skeleton. These must be hard to come by. This animal would have eaten Goh (in green) whole. The baby mammoth! It’s here at the Field. I had no idea. Lyuba! Found in the permafrost. Here’s a link. I read about this then, and was glad to see Lyuba in person. Read about the find at the Reuters link. Imagine the folks who found Lyuba in the snow. How did an elephant get here must have been their thought. Lyuba was behind glass. I’m sure this fate was never in her mind. Totem poles are cool. Again, I’ll bet they’ll enter some kid’s artwork soon and hope he/she makes it work. I hope it does. Sue – is the T Rex in the lobby. A great collection of bones. This is also a rare sight. It’s the best complete skeleton and Sue also has a wiki entry. These are better than toy figures. The back side of Sue With a fist in the air, our walk about was pretty fun. A nice day in Chicago, you didn’t need a jacket. Then it got cold a day later.

Walking by a display area in Chicago, I also ran into a Puma store. What's so great about Puma these days? Way understated is their artist line with kozyndan. It's the second season now, and the gear still looks fun and sort of strange. It doesn't exactly fit with the entire Puma idea, since in the end, this looks like stuff GR should be making. But oh well. This stuff still looks fun and cool.

But oh well. This stuff still looks fun and cool. I still don’t know why Amsterdam is so important for this entire line. I guess a location was important. I guess… Do I see a cigarette coming out of an ass crack? The details are nice. That’s sort of like kozyndan’s style. Bunnyfish! kozyndan Amsterdamned. The line was on sale 30% off. I still want my green ones from last year! I wore those to death and the slip on factor makes for quick security rushes at the airports. Anyone have a size 9? I like the details. This is actually a funny image even though I don’t get it. This is equally funny. Check out what the shroom is wearing! I even got a bag to go with my shoes. Where am I going to go looking this good?

The Nakamura Trio. I'm Nakamura 1, Tad, 2, and Goh 3. This sounded like a joke, three guys who happen to have the same last name on a panel together, but guess what? It worked. We're spread across different disciplines in a way that's perfectly apart, yet similar in worlds that we actually mesh. We can answer the same questions in different ways, with our own experiences. I realize that Goh is all...
