    Cool Shops in Downtown LA?
    Hey there....longtime creeper longtime caller.

    The wife is taking me to Downtown LA (staying at the Freehand which seems pretty central) and I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations for where to check out.

    I'm obviously a big fan of Japanese Vinyl, but I'd also love to check out hobby shops, vintage stuff, thrifty/junk toys, and plenty of stuff in-between. If anybody's got the tip on whatever the next Span of Sunset-style shop may be down there, I'd be forever grateful.

    Thanks a bunch, SB.

    Little Tokyo has quite a few good shops. There’s a shop across from the gundam/ sofubi store that I scored the little Frankie gashapon from.

    i got a text a couple hours ago about a new shop opening this winter in little tokyo focusing on on designer toys as well as vintage. TAG was my go-to but since then no ones stepped up

    just a lot of funko pops

    Man, California gets all the fun stuff.

    Everywhere else that you see: ‘designer toy and vintage’, it’s d*nnys and old funko crap. Maybe a GI Joe
