Post My trip to Nakano Broadway 5-14-12!
Yesterday the fiance (for a few more days) and I spent the day with Don, Paul and Melissa @ Nakano Broadway!

As far as toy hangouts go, it's a tough one to top. Digging through bins of crazy old toys with Paul, grabbing some crazy bootleg starwars cards, getting see all the Mandarake stores they had, crazy bondage Gatcha gatchas (I should have bought one), getting all the rare gatchas one after another in the room full of machines... Couldn't had had a better time... Then meeting up with Don and seeing all the tucked away places we missed, and then hitting the bar! I had a great time, thanks again to Paul and Melissa, and to Don for having us! I have some pics on my flickr, and some on other cameras which will have to wait until I get home to upload them, but check out what I posted, some are mixed with design festa pics too:

Tosh.0 has a segment called "is it racist?" I think that could apply to some of the items in Mandarake :lol:

I take it this is your old lady (to be) in the top hat, right? Quite the eccentric character, she is.. :twisted:

The store that PK is standing in front of was my favorite in Nakano Broadway. Lots of old Japanese advertising toys.
