Rare Transformer Toys, Filmed in Akihabara, Japan (Vintage and New) [720]

[jackfordmac]

@BustersTexas Some serious money there, no I'm not over there now, love to go back one day though.

[archrom1]

I just wanna go in there with a gun and take everything

[hthvjd]

I remember being in that shop over the summer on my vacation last year...and openly weeping when I saw the boxed Fort Max on the top shelf for 120000 yen. The price wasn't what got me all emotional it was the fact I had no way of getting it home to the states :(

[GoldKnightProduction]

@hthvjd I agree with you! I want F.M. So Badly!!!!

Sadly he failed the drop test so we cant have a reissue. :'(...................(Sobs)

I've even gone to the lengths of putting spare money into a jar till theres enough for one.

It's a steady supply but it'll take a couple years.

2:32 WTHECK!? 19900 yens for this small figure!?

[cannonfodder4000]

@Gridseeker

That's Rodney (Yes, Rodney) one of the rarest Transformers, like, ever, 19900 yen is actually a really good price for him, I still wouldn't pay that much, but, he usually goes for way more. <=v

Hey, Jackfordmac, my brother lives in Tokyo within a stone's throw of Akihabara. I asked him to get me a GP2X WIZ, but 'cos it's Korean the Japs won't sell it 'cos they traditionally HATE each other.

[jackfordmac]

@nickbaldeagle01 That's bullshit, ah well, their loss if they don't want your money.

[thekingstowelguy]

i spent 2 hours in this store back in '08. holy shit indeed...

[Freshbrood]

Jeesh. I love the Japanese, but Japanese language is NOT a romance language.. it just sounds awful in song..

[jackfordmac]

@Freshbrood haha! True!

[jointron33]

@jackfordmac do you read/speak japanese?

[transgeek2345]

0:33 is that arcee

[killbison]

Been to Akihabara, greatest place on earth....

[jackfordmac]

Yer it's great, need to spend a good few days there to take it all in. Im planning another holiday, but thinking of maybe going to Seoul, Korea instead of Japan again.

[DARUMINATI]

i like the song and the type of video recording... it looks like its from a transformer doco or somthing. gave it a real nice feel. thanx makes me wana go out and spend $50,000 and start a awsome collection :)

what is the song and band ? i would like 2 hear more

peace

[jackfordmac]

I think, think, the song is Heavy Metal Collector and the band is Guitar Vader, but not sure.

Glad you enjoied it!

[adamstone86]

Agree with this, superb choice of music. Love it. Keep these videos coming dude. All the best

[barutazaru]

Holy fucking SHIT.

[jackfordmac]

Holy shit is right!

[megas2468]

I wish i was their (*.*) WAW!

[jackfordmac]

Buy a ticket, and go. It's great!

[stoltobot]

nerdgasm. do you remember what the name of the shop was? A comic/toy/game shop called Mandrake in Nagoya has about a quarter of that range if anybody's interested. I sometimes go there to drool over the in-box Fort Max

[jackfordmac]

Haha, you're correct. I'd say two thirds of this footage was taken from Mandrake. I forgot the name of the second store. The ground floor had transformers and other style figures but the remaining 5 floors were all small gashapon figures. Maybe that narrows it down. Thanks for watching

[jointron33]

i want masterpiece grimlock

[jointron33]

do they hav alot of stores with transformers

[jackfordmac]

Not lots to be fair, maybe only 10% of stores I visited had transformers.

[jointron33]

wow. most stores here hav em, even rinky-dink k-mart. u think japan, the birthplace of the franchise, would hav em

[jackfordmac]

The most popular thing I saw over there was Gundams.

[jointron33]

well, i knew that, but transformers started there. it's like if america had a nationwide absence of apple pie
