http://www.amazing-toy.com/mamizu02.htm sure makes me wish i could read japanese . friend of mine sent me this the other day . there are over 40 entries in what seems to be a journal of picking up vintage toys .
That's a great site. Have you seen this online vintage museum? http://mononofu.hp.infoseek.co.jp/museum/main.html
this has to be the best vintage vinyl site ever. Too bad a lot of the pages are missing though(dead links). I know most of them were there before the site was reworked awhile back.
