These people aren't queuing for a PlayStation 3, Wii or even a DS Lite. They're eager to gain entry into Kotobukiya's new store on the first floor of the Radio Kaikan, just a few steps outside the JR Akihabara station. Kotobukiya is a Japanese toy and model manufacturer that does an inordinate amount of gaming-related merchandise (their excellent Super Robot Wars and Armored Core kit ranges being good examples of this). Naturally, the store sells other non-Kotobukiya merchandise, such as the wholly necessary Chirico Cuvie pilot suit (can of coffee not supplied, unfortunately).
