Post Some Old Die Cast...
I was getting something from my storage room and came across a box of some old die cast toys I had when I was a kid.

(sorry for the bad camera phone shot)

God I love Daiku Maru.... especially in metal. Some cool pieces ya got there. Die Cast was my first Japanese collecting love (and tin robots) before I got into vinyl.

I still have my Octopus Game & Watch sitting on my shelf. I wish I still had the others. I had Parachute and Mickey Mouse and my cousin had the Donkey Kong one with dual screens. Spent a ton of hours on those things and Octopus is the only thing I have left from my childhood toys. :(

Man, when I think of the die-cast and Jumbo Machinders I had as a kid, I know now why I collect JP vinyl. Great blasts from the past Jordan, congrats on unearthing those. That Mazinger in your last shot brings back serious play time memories. My brothers skull was never a match for flying metal Mazinger.

You can see from the paint chips on mine that I used it in a similar fashion :)

LOL....these are my childhood keepsakes! :D

What is the story behind this "Dragon" anyway? I received a lot of PM's about it. I thought it was fairly common.
