I went to Eastern Nishikigoi to pick up some stuff yesterday afternoon; I timed my visit to be there when the 25 box shipment of Dainichi tosai for this event came in.
The shipment was a bit late arriving -- and I could only stick around for the first two boxes -- but I'm glad I waited.
Here's a teaser, folks:

Don't ask me how I did it, but I managed to escape without pulling my credit cards out.
