LSP_Ron Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 This would be a very fun and very expensive place to visit. Warning, turn off your sound first. coogrfan, Landrotten Highlander, GreyGhost and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Rademaker Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 So… what did you pick up and bring home? I would be like a kid in a candy store. Jim GreyGhost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokeyforgothispassword Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 The Tamiya shop is my “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” fantasy, imagine having the Ooompa Loompa’s produce all of the Master Coachwork kits before your eyes, all of the 1/6 scale bikes, the PE sets….

b757captain Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I went there quite often when I lived in Japan. Nice store, three levels if I remember, ground floor was kits and accessories, basement was R/C and second floor was a racetrack and building area where they had mentoring and tutoring sessions.. They carry everything Tamiya currently produces, so unfortunately no F-16 Thunderbirds while I was there. And lots of superb display models. Good prices too, I think I picked up a Corsair and P-51 for about $20 or $25 off anywhere else. John1, GreyGhost, coogrfan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Thanks! That video is very nice but thanks very much for the music warning. I quickly removed the sound as this was terribly irritating. What a strange and inappropriate music choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easixpedro Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Used to ride by that on my train trips up to Akihabara. Never made it though as the district has sooooo much more to offer. I never went broke on the monthly trips, mostly because it's SO overwhelming to see so much there. I could never make up my mind what I wanted and never wanted to haul it back on the train. If you've ever seen JR Lines during rush hour..., that's an experience! Always bought something though and most people gave the 6'4" white guy a wide berth.

ringleheim Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Youtube is filled with pilgrimage videos to this store in Tokyo. I've watched ALL of them, SEVERAL times. LOL It's on my personal bucket list. I love how the store has all the crazy stuff you will never find outside of a Tamiya store, how the collection is totally complete, and how everything is impeccably presented and organized!
