I'm headed to Japan for a couple weeks next May 2018 and I'm looking for resources for killer toys or places where I might be able to hunt down some battle beast/laser beast connections, or even just some of the better vintage toy and awesome collections or resources out there. Any recommendations are appreciated even off you have something to say about places outside of the toy world or the cities I'll be in. Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto

Let me know if you're hinting anything at any point that I can somehow get back to the states.

I will be in Japan in 10 days (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima & Tokyo + Taiwan & Hong Kong). I plan on writing about my trip and particular toy stores. I don't collect Battle Beast/Laser Beast (I collect Kinnikuman & Kinkeshi almost exclusively) but Toyko always had anything & everything in terms of toys (places like Mandarake in Nakano etc).

I've never been myself - that's more of a pipe dream - but I do know there's also Jungle in Akihabara that's definitely worth a shot. They're like Mandarake in terms of selling all sorts of used stuff. Not sure how much luck you'd find there for Beasts, but definitely some other cool toy stuff.
