Hi everyone, Long time since I've posted but wanted to get some informed opinions. I'm currently in Japan and due to go to Tokyo for the last few days of my holiday, just seeing what suggestions you would have for vintage toy shopping, japanese vinyl toys and diecast. (Mainly collecting mini bullmarks) Many thanks in advance Djk P.s I will post some pics when I return
I don't think you'll have much problems in the city finding vintage stuff, especially the mini Bullmarks. Hit up the usual places, and I am sure you will have more than enough to spend your money on there. Plenty of resources on the forum for toy shop lists, such as this one here: http://skullbrain.org/bb/index.php?threads/tokyo-toy-stores-spreadsheet-map-and-tips.52159 might be a good place to start. Good luck with the hunt, very jealous of the visit!
Forgive my lack of faith but a self-confessed 'Toy Dealer' with 4 posts in 3 years looking for information on where to buy doesn't make me want to spill too many secrets!
Ultrakaiju thankyou for the link, I knew I would just be asking for information I'm sure you've given many times over but when searching the forum I couldn't find that page. It is very informative and will be of great use. Anti-social Andy, you really do what it says on the tin , I am a toy dealer but in diecast only so I'm not looking to buy and sell vinyl toys but understand if you don't want to share all your secrets!
