Toy Traders in Langley BC

I heard about Toy Traders from my friend Victor W. He took pictures when he visited and since I had some time on my hands, I decided to go check it out.

Got my wife and kids, and my nephew to go check it out.

Now I’ve seen Japanese toy stores similar to this display wise.. but the Toy Traders is unique!

As a toy person, it was awesome. As a nostalgic toy person, it was awesome. As someone into “toy art” freaking blown away!!!

Above and on all sides of the store were some toy art.. like epic battle scenes… It was pretty intense.

I’ll let the pictures don the talking.

Akihabara

This was my first time REALLY exploring Akihabara!

Some of the stores opened up at 11:30, so we kept exploring.

We came upon Tam Tam and it was open. In retrospect, it was a good store. It had tons of car models. I figure there would be other places offering, but there wasn’t as much.

I also didn’t find another place that had tons of Tomica Vintage Limited Neo cars.. This place had a huge selection!!!

 

The more I looked, the more I saw and it was amazing.

 

 

We ate at a small Japanese food truck spot!

 

There was a Shinkansen festival, but I will make an individual post for that. After that, I saw Mandarake’s store and we went to go check it out!
