[@Toystheyrenot]

It is pretty impressive for sure. Thanks for watching!😊

[@davidebert8034]

I was in Tokyo last August 4-12. I spent an hour in that new showroom and, they have everything in there!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Oh man, I would never financially recover from going into that store! LOL! Thanks for the cool tour around and goy do they have everything in there!

[@Toystheyrenot]

😂So true! Unfortunately, by the time I got there, I’ve already blown all my budget at another Rc superstore.😂

[@bidibulle6795]

We don't have in France!!!🤩 it's a dream for me, I'm 50 years old and I've been buying Tamiya models forever. (1/16 tank in particular) I have some beautiful RC models too (wilde on - xv01- tt02s - tt01 - hot shot - lunch box - dt02 - mf-x01 - comical ... etc etc). I think Tamiya is the best model manufacturer in the world, the exceptional quality has always been there for all these years. Tamiya remains in my heart forever.

The one in my country, Singapore has recently closed down. Happy that its still thriving in its homeland.👍😊

[@stephaneben2002]

Wonderful! It’s heaven...Thanks to share it. The music is perfect 🥰

[@Toystheyrenot]

@@All_RC_Fun Thanks for watching my friend!😊

[@coygtrc]

It's almost paradise 🤩 Thanks for that video 🌞

[@Toystheyrenot]

Sure is. Thanks for watching!🙏😊

[@MusicRCBicyclesCoffee]

Thanks for this mini tour! We'll definitely visit this store. :)

[@Toystheyrenot]

Np! It’s a cool store to visit for sure.👍😊

[@peterlanglois65]

WOW! I think I have died and gone to hobby heaven. My first RC car was the Frog. Unfortunately, I quickly learned that Tamiya RC cars, at that time, were good but not very good at competitive racing. The RC10 blew it's (and everything else's) doors off. Very nice video. If I am ever in Tokyo I will have to make this a stop, along with the Kato store and the Kyosho store (if there is one).

[@Toystheyrenot]

😂My Tamiya Boomerang was also outclassed by Kyosho Optimas back in the day.. But still, it gave me lots of joy. Tamiya is a huge part of my childhood and I’m so glad we still get to enjoy the nostalgia with the rereleases today.👍😊 Kyosho has a store in Tokyo too but it is much smaller. I have a video of it when I was there last year.

[@alessandrocantarini6017]

Ma è uno splendido sogno. Potessimo trovare in ogni luogo di questo nostro altrettanto splendido pianeta un posto dei desideri come questo e crescere giocando, grazie👨🏻‍✈️🤩🤩🤩

[@Toystheyrenot]

Yes. If only we can all remain innocent and peace loving. Here’s to hoping.❤️✌️🕊️

[@goforitpainting]

[@expatAussietez]

@@Toystheyrenot a lifelong dream of mine to do the Tamiya pilgrimage which includes the Kakegawa track, The Factory Museum and now this factory store. The Tamiya Tri-fecta.

[@Toystheyrenot]

@@expatAussietez Awesome! I didn’t have the time to get to Shizuoka this trip. Will have to visit the HQ one of these days:)

[@t-studioworks]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@Toystheyrenot]

@@t-studioworks Anytime!😊 I really miss the old one though.. theres alot more space but not enough spare parts for rc.. Thankfully, there’s super rajicon for that.😁

[@t-studioworks]

@@Toystheyrenot yes, I too like the older shop better. It just had more stuff to look at.

[@NANNIRC]

Wonderful!!!!!!! Before dying I have to go there!!

[@Toystheyrenot]

Oh yes, this would be high on the bucket list.👍😊

[@863rafael]

Can't wait to go there!

[@theoagrc]

Amazing video Sean! Thanks for sharing this with us all dude. I hope you got some lovely treats dude

[@Toystheyrenot]

My pleasure Craig! Its always a fun time visiting this country.. even though my wallet is hurting.😅

[@lorenzolollocavaleri1714]

Greta very beatiful awesome store

[@Toystheyrenot]

Thanks for watching!😊

[@philfrydman2576]

My first car was the Sand Scortcher first version... and still have it. Thanks for sharing. But this vid makes me seasick while camera swings from one side to the other on the rythme of the music.... So that we see everything without watching them. The showroom seems smaller than the previous one...

[@Toystheyrenot]

Sorry about the camera movement. 😅Yes, I miss the old showroom. This one is nice too but there are alot less models on display.. Thanks for watching!😊

[@biancabee7900]

Wow. Unfortunately you spinned the camera way too fast. We couldn’t see anything. All we got was a headache.

[@en.gine.st.art7]

❤❤❤

[@tokyochannel2020]

Going to be honest, I quite dislike the new shop. The old one (which was located across the street) was much better. The new shop no longer stocks spare parts for airbrushes, it no longer stocks extra decal sheets, it no longer stocks extra sprue parts from Tamiya kits which were great if you were looking for parts for your builds, the old shop was quite nice if you were a local builder. Essentially they turned it into a fancy tourist trap now. Most of the prices are either box price or more expensive. Most Tamiya kits can be found much cheaper at different shops in Tokyo.

[@Toystheyrenot]

@@tokyochannel2020 I hear you. I also miss the old store. That had a lot more soul and is more well stocked with spares. I’m glad I documented it last year before operations ceased. I suppose Tamiya is moving with times and trying to connect with new customers instead of catering more for the seasoned hobbyists.

[@Paul__FC]

I so want to be there!

[@Toystheyrenot]

@@Paul__FC You should visit it someday.👍😊

[@bobwil9903]

F1?

[@Toystheyrenot]

There isn’t a dedicated F1 display here.

[@1983Senna]

Motorcycle?!? You don't show.

[@Toystheyrenot]

Ah sorry, I missed that display cabinet. There are alot less built models on display in this new shop.
