Not surprised considering Kotobukiya has had a line of Lightsaber sticks out for quite a while now.

I saw that place this summer, but didn't feel like standing in line to get in. Seemed fairly classy for Akiba at least...

I went to the cafe this weekend and saw these for sale, but didn't realize they were limited edition. I actually think the Gundam 00 campaign they're running right now is more interesting- they have special themed foods for the different characters. (Allelujiah had a pizza with half spicy salami and half normal salami.)

Nice. Very fitting for Alleluya...

Btw what are you doing in Yokohama? Stationed there? Or school?

i'm squinting at the tiny photos of the beam saber chopsticks and is it just me or do the kotobukiya light saber chopsticks look nicer? hoping somebody posts larger photos of the gundam chopsticks so we can say for sure...

I thought so too. The set is actually Allelujiah x Marie, with Marie being pasta salad. (Don't ask. -_-) There's also a Setsuna x Graham set, Lockon x Anew, and Tieria x Ribbons.

I'm in Yokohama for a language program for the year.

Akiba Keizai Shimbun posted a bigger image this past summer, but it's of a prototype.

They must now introduce a new food product of a similar theme: MS-07 Gouf electric whip noodles.

A quick internet search brings up a lot of images of the chopsticks. Here's one:

I like it! Then you could have a huge battle in your bowl of Udon! Laughing
