Re: Name that toy store that was a great shop. i snoozed like a fool on a cheap condorman talker there, i blame being to hungry to think clearly that day, and running late for the thrashout opening. luckily, one found its way to my shelf anyway.
the name of the shop is on the door in the video....

I'd hate to see it close and just be an online retailer. joshuajh wrote: that was a great shop. i snoozed like a fool on a cheap condorman talker there, i blame being to hungry to think clearly that day, and running late for the thrashout opening. luckily, one found its way to my shelf anyway.
the name of the shop is on the door in the video.... ..and yet no one has mentioned it.

Re: Name that toy store I got my giant sized unpainted flesh Baragon from Ichiban Boshi...along with other stuff. I bought enough that the owner threw in an unpainted flesh M1go Frankenstein for free. Freebie aside, it is a really cool shop and one of the deadlier trips to make. You go from Nakano to Thrashout to CoCo (to eat) and then Ichiban Boshi. I got there a little early so I walked around the hood for a bit. Nice area.

Hahaha...I was just too lazy to type out the whole word. So yeah....if anyone heads out there, can they ask about the state of the store? It really is a cool little shop and I let the owner know with what little Japanese I could speak. I found some really nice gems there: Mazinger Z + Garada set by Marmit   Giant Baragon, regular Baragon, GID Gomess
