So i was in Tokyo for a week from the 9th of july and checked out 3 of the Manadrake stores in search for vintage Toys. i picked up a few things from Nakano and Shibuya but didn't take any pics there. anyway heres some pics of some of the bits they have in Nankano and Akihabara the prices varied some were so cheap but then some were mega pricey but its to expected.and there was not as much as i was told there was. i will also post some pics in the reply of another shop i found in Uneno that had only modern TFS and Wrestling figures. Nakano Broadway. Akihabara PS. i could not post this in the TF sightings section as it wouldn't let me? i will also post my pick ups another day in my collection thread.
This place was 3 mins from my hotel down a side street in Uneno. only modern stuff though. they are not really very into you taking pictures in these store so you have to be quick.
What store is that in the very last pic? ^ Might be visiting Japan soon, and would love to pick some of those up! Were the prices on those deluxes reasonable?
its called Non Stop US Toys and Wrestlers or something. its on the way to Akihabara near Uneno down some back street. I've never seen any info on it before, the prices varied but i only really looked properly at stuff i wanted and converted it so no idea on most stuff. a lot of it was very expensive.
Like Japanese toys are for US and European collectors. US toys (like in that last store) are what the Japanese collect. Japanese Deluxes are not cheap. So I can imagine US deluxes are more expensive over there. There are a couple of great other shops in Akiba too for G1. But you have to look for them. They are hidden on different floors and weird alleys. iDD
