I saw this officially licensed Space Invaders Bag while shopping with the Mrs. in Ginza. The name of the store is Idea Seventh Sense. It the first store on this list. The bag cost 20,000円 which is just under $200. It's pretty large and hard to tell if it's was meant for men, women, or both. An effeminate Japanese guy could probably get away with it, but not me.

They also had some smaller/cheaper bags.

No, I didn't buy either of them.

Why does that remind me of the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry was carrying a man-purse? "It's European."

Maybe one day, if you continue to live in Japan, your boy will grow up to carry one of those around--?

so it like 10 to 1 for currency and hmmm damm 90 yes it does remind me of that to cursor.

Wow, why do I have a feeling I'd have to hide this thread from my g/f! lol I know she's big into the retro wardrobe style and she'd go nuts over this! Nice find Cheapy, just in time to go next to your space invader's clock!

I could groove it if it was a DS case or a PSP case maybe even a ipod case but as a purse ? ...not cool , sorry but not cool

It's 100 to 1, or thereabouts

Doesn't even look $50.00 nice.

Reminds me of my mom's old purse.

I prepher my chrome bag. http://www.chromebags.com/. Anyone who rides bicycle at any length should really check these bad boys out.

The metrosexual in me is shouting to the rafters: "I want one"... and the truth is... I do really want one... even for $200.

Yeah, manbags aren't for everyone. It'd be impossible for me to pull that off. Nirvana guy, are you a hipster by any chance? Or ride a fixie? or a true bike messenger?

IDK, $200 seems a little steep. And around these times, man purses still scare me. But it's interesting they have a space invaders bag...

I guess I'm sort of scene or whatever you want to label it, a bit more effeminate and eccentric in regard to fashion than many, but I'd definitely buy that bag if it were cheaper (~$40).

The only reason I would buy that bag, would be to turn around and sell it on eBay. And for $200, that's never gonna happen.

The straight guy in me is kicking your ass.

Though with that bag he can carry stuff and keep both hands free for fighting.

Well I have been meaning to get a man-bag lately...

Cheapy it definitely looks like a purse to me.

When will you tell those people the truth?! That you are the reincarnation of the Buddha and you have come to help them as the Bodhisattva. They already suspect given your height and size. ;-)

It would be a bit more than $200... more like $240. The yen-to-dollar exchange rate has been this lousy for a few years now

Yeah no kidding blue. I'm hating it, especially since I've been wanting to import the Miyazaki blu's(covers are better then the American one's and I'm not paying over $20 for a domestic Blu catalog title short of it being Criterion).
