Tokyo hobby shopps

Not that i noticed, but it was so jam-packed in there it would have been easy to miss something.

There's no vintage left in those shops: they allways turn araound stock as fast as possible.
There used to be an rc shop chain that had in each store a wall or 2 reserved for NOS and second hand stuff. But they went bankrupt.

Wow, this is cool to see. Thanks for taking the time to take the pictures and post about it.

Yeah there was a thread about that Jun Watanabe Hornet where we all were disgusted. To be fair though, it makes a perfect R/C for a daughter, wife, etc...

I knew about the Kumamon bear versions of the Tumbling Bull and Sand Rover as they've been all over eBay for awhile now. Apparently it's a popular mascot created by the government of Kumamoto Prefecture. I don't think I've ever seen the anime Sandmaster before though.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I would love to go to Japan some day, but mostly to drool on the JDM cars! I'd be down for a Lucy as well!

I saw a couple GT-R's there, R34s i think. One of them took off like a bat out of hell and bounced off the rev limiter, sounded pretty bad ass!
I also saw an STi that was all decked out, including a huge anime chick face on the side. It wasn't Lucy though
