Post Antique Toy Mall
Just recently, I discovered that I have one of the largest Toy malls right in my backyard. Below are some pics from my recent trip.

An amazing place!

$150 for the set. There were some Kaiju pieces, but they were not cheap ;)

Yes, hit me up next time you are in town.

I freak out when one booth at an antiques store has toys, I would lose my mind there! I'll make sure to put that on my list of places to hit on my dream road trip.

It's always great to discover something like this, and the fact that it is close to home for you is even better. Even if the prices aren't great, I love just walking around these places checking out all the stuff.

I know it is a totally lame toy [in hindsight] but I had hours (probably more like days) of fun with that Fisher Price doctor's kit (mine came in a little black bag too). The syringe especially was my favourite, and yet I am not a junky, go figure :wink:

I would love to go there. They have a lot of these antique "malls" out here but very little selection of toys.

Nakano Broadway in Japan or the CTMA Center in Hong Kong are where I end up window shopping.
