lets all agree that toys is a timeless thing that brought us joy since childhood and one of our best memeries with them also now tyos are enevr to be thought for kids only its timeless and amazing joy to have and own amazing toys, even if you wont play with them as when we were kids , they are pieces of timless creative art and really its gowring now more than ever and it will never stop,,, one of the most amazing forms of arts ,love toys forever !
Good stuff. Cant wait to watch the rest of these later today. Any suggestions on Storage Options for all my trinkets while on vacation for a couple of weeks. I like to travel light, but would like to rent something to hold my souvenirs and such until I go back home.
There are storage places for luggage at some stations (Tokyo station in particular comes to mind). Not sure what their policy on length of time is though.
Monster was amazing back in the day. It was my go to place for Star Wars Black Series and TMNT stuff. But I think it was hit hard by the pandemic and the store these days is bare-bones. I thought they went mainly internet-based, but even the website has very little compared to other import stores in Japan. These days I use a couple of good stores in Fukuoka and Osaka, but of course, I can only order online.
Exactly! It’s sad how some of these great “mom & pop” shops that helped nurture and sustain our love for the hobby have fallen victim to events recently. As I said in the video, I hadn’t been there in YEARS and was actually a bit surprised it was still there. Hopefully this video lets other collectors know it’s a shop worth checking out as Japan reopens to international tourism.

Usually the toys not for sale are from the owners person collection. Using the shop to display them.
Yes I understand that but it’s a big tease for people who come in to see things they want to buy sitting there but can’t.
GODBLESS.
Thank you
