I recently headed back to my favourite place to hunt for vintage toys, Tokyo, Japan. In this second video we head to Akihabara and Nakano for some more vintage toy hunting. There is so much to see and only so much suitcase space to fill!

Usually sequels are a bit disappointing but this part 2 was great! Amazing finds, especially the Indiana Jones and transformers!

Glad you enjoyed!

Great video Dave. Japan is a toy collector’s dream. The Tamiya drill looks intriguing, looking forward to that video.

Saw some interesting pieces during this video. Love the idea of building your own tools. Looking forward to part 3.

What an incredible selection. Loved seeing the boxed G1 Fortress Maximus and Scorponok near the start.

@toypolloi 2 месяца назад

There are so many cool transformers. Most out of my price range sadly.

@briansadler7270 2 месяца назад

A simply wonderful video Dave. Not only to toys, it that handy drill looks like it could come in very handy. The biggest thing though. I'll probably never get to Tokyo myself. So getting a glimpse of somewhere like that is absolutely amazing to me. It really looks like a cool place. Especially being able to find some of these toys in their natural habitat.😂. Again very cool. As always thanks for what you do.

@toypolloi 2 месяца назад

My pleasure. It's a great place to visit, not just for the toys. And the drill is great. You'll see more on that next week.

Excellent video Dave I enjoy seeing what you pick up and the figure, toy stores you go to…. Even these videos of yours give me ideas for my collection and collecting ( new toy line to buy, ideas for tools to use,etc ) 👍🏼very interesting thanks

@dazatronsdioramallama6370 2 месяца назад

You can’t beat the original Japanese TAKARA packaging, so much better that what we had. That Jeeg even for a reissue was a steal, if it’s a 1970’s version then that’s insane! Love the DaiX too, never seen and again another bargain! Great buys Dave 👏 looking forward to a DaiX repair video 😃

@toypolloi 2 месяца назад

Those boxes just look much nicer on display. And yes, a vintage Jeeg!

@banzaibobA7V 2 месяца назад

I love Mandarake. A huge chunk of my collection has come from them over the years. In particular, they're often a great way for me to get US "exclusives" that are difficult for me to source directly from the States.

@halcyon_hound4524 2 месяца назад

Lovely haul - I esp liked seeing for the first time the OJR Stunticon box compared to the flat carded versions we got over here. Way nicer to look at and collect. Only the larger Motormaster got a box from that combiner team for obv reasons.

Have you ever made a visit to Red Mercury, in the Ueno district. They stock mostly newer releases for Transformers, Star Wars and Marvel but it's still the most i've seen in one shop of all those IPs.

I haven't. Will have to check it out next time. Cheers

@craigcharlesworth1538 2 месяца назад

I left a comment the other night Dave, but it doesn't seem to have worked. The X-Bomber figure is by Takatoku, there is precisely one photo of it online but I don't seem to be able to send you the link here. I'll send it to you on Twitter. It's very small so not sure if you'll be able to make out the necessary detail.

@toypolloi 2 месяца назад

Thanks. I have actually managed to source a few more photos of both it and the box. Hopefully enough to make repairs and get it looking good for display. Watch this space as I will show the project here in the coming months.

@craigcharlesworth1538 2 месяца назад

@@toypolloi Oh wow, okay. I was looking for around an hour and managed to find one very low-res image so what you have is probably better.

You could make something, or try looking at aquarium rock backgrounds. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5J8dEu92sQ8.html&pp=ygUSdG95IHBvbGxvaSBkaW9yYW1h

They were in one of the Mandarake stores in Nakano. I think you'll like part three of this hunt. You'll see that in a couple of weeks.

@PizarrosPieces 2 месяца назад

Did you not stop at mandarake cocoo it’s in akihabara!

@toypolloi 2 месяца назад

I did. These are just edited highlights of where I went. More to see in the next episode.

@gamerid6507 2 месяца назад

a question..when filming in the shops, do you ask for permission or its ok to film without asking?

@Collector_Phil 2 месяца назад

Years ago stores in Japan like Mandarake had signs on all displays that said no cameras allowed, but over the years with the avent of smart phones & social media, they dropped that and now they don’t bother with anybody filming, talking on the phone while filming, taking pictures, etc.

@toypolloi 2 месяца назад

I don't. If I was asked to stop I would. Some stores have signs up saying no filming so I don't film in those.

@echo1218 2 месяца назад

How long is the flight from England to Japan? Is the experience different every time?

@toypolloi 2 месяца назад

Currently about 15 hours due to flight restrictions over Russia. It's different every time we visit, which is why we go so often.

@rhomotor Месяц назад

Nakano Broadway is better for the bang for the buck. Great video though.

@toypolloi Месяц назад

Nakano is my favourite place to hunt. But it's always worth checking out the rest. You never know when you'll spot that bargain.
