Japan is probably my number one most wanted places to go to Great video as always!

[@CarbonScoring]

I can promise - it didn’t disappoint!

[@danistopmotion]

Loved the video hope you had a lot of fun on that trip btw geeking out for gundam btw remember that vintage shop with a spider man and a man in a red suit you called Peter Parker ….no that was not Pete that was lupin a fun show and many many movies about a thief named lupin you should check the show out or watch a movie it’s super fun 👍 the show and movies are called lupin III

[@CarbonScoring]

I need to check that out! I am clearly missing something!

[@Kratos-p4g]

​@@CarbonScoringhey carbon scoring you should try retro anime stuff tho

[@pukewhenimsad]

@@CarbonScoringLupin III is a deep rabbit hole but it’s a fun one! Hayao Miyazaki’s directorial debut was a Lupin film, The Castle of Cagliostro. It is such a classic. Seven Seas has recently published two collections of old Lupin stories in manga form as well.

[@Yankeesjetsfan71]

Wow! What a fantastic video. I really enjoyed seeing this video & what you picked up on your trip to Japan, even if I didn't know what some of them were. I actually never heard of Star Blazers before. I am not sure if it was here shown in reruns here in NYC. The only one I can remember watching was Battle Of The Planets and I have such a love for that show to this day. I've always wanted to find vintage items from BOTP for my collection. If I ever make it out to Japan that is what I might go for. That and anything from the Japanese Spider-Man TV show. Maybe Voltron as well. Nice win by your Braves last night. Hopefully my Yankees can even the series tonight 😁

[@CarbonScoring]

Ha! Yeah, the bats are getting hot at the right time! Y’all are comfortably in first, we got some work to do! I looked for vintage BOTP stuff and didn’t see a ton - I probably walked right past some, though - there is so much to see!

[@v_zach]

Awesome haul. I clicked as soon as I saw Yuki Mori in the thumbnail. Congrats on the three Yamatos. Each one was better than the last!

[@PaulSmith-io4rt]

Love this video looking forward to You building and painting that Gundam model set. What an amazing holiday. 🙂

[@CarbonScoring]

Check out my instagram for the finished product - I had so much fun with it @carbon_scoring

[@pacetyler]

Glad you had so much fun! Can't wait to hear more! Those model kits had me salivating 🤤

[@CarbonScoring]

I’ll bring it when we get together!

[@JB-zo7ln]

Such a cool vacation! I can't imagine how amazing it must have been to see all the incredible items Japan had to offer. Still on my bucket list, hopefully one day I'll get to experience Japan. Amazing

[@CarbonScoring]

It was everything I had hoped it would be. I did my homework in advance to make the most of my “toy time” but it was everything else in Japan that was so great!

[@nerdbot37]

So fantastically cool! I would love to go to Japan someday.

[@CarbonScoring]

It was a dream trip!

[@clfjmpr]

ALWAYS a good time when carbon scoring posts!!

[@CarbonScoring]

You got that right!

[@chrisgowing2260]

Love your passion for this. I missed seeing these shops. Next time I'm walking around with you.

[@CarbonScoring]

Let’s do it!!!

[@piercetv9270]

Hey man, another great video! It was nice to meet u at joefest and enjoyed our conversation

[@CarbonScoring]

Pierce! Yeah, man - I really enjoyed talking to y’all! Thanks for commenting and keep watching at work (I won’t tell!)

[@piercetv9270]

@@CarbonScoring oh that’s gonna happen…if there’s anymore shows ur going to,let me know and I’ll try and find u! Keep the videos coming👍

[@Photon-bq4mt]

as a huge dork for old japanese stuff, here's a few things I think you'd like to know 1. 8:30 thaaat isn't peter parker, that's lupin III 2. I find it funny how you bring up ambassador magma/space giants in the same sentence as astro boy, as they were actually made by the same creator! Legendary manga author osamu tezuka (who also created the guy in my profile picture) 3. you might like to know that mazinger z is actually a franchise from the 70s, one that I think you should really check out along with it's brother series getter robo, they basically invented the concept of having humans piloting robots like planes, although I feel like your family might not like you getting a new interest 4. after the toei spiderman series marvel was actually planning on making shows based on Ms Marvel and Captain america with toei, the latter being a show where cap creates a team of other captains based on other countries; while these ideas fell through, they were combined into the show Battle Fever J, which has some characters that resemble existing marvel characters and was the first power rangers show to have a megazord type robot. So basically, marvel helped create power rangers as we know it now, and dont even get me started on shotaro ishinomori

[@CarbonScoring]

Dude! Great information, thanks! There is just soooo much, it was impossible to even wrap my mind around everything I saw! Really appreciate you watching and the feedback!

[@richardmorgan6419]

Really enjoyed this video! First one I have watched twice in one day!

[@CarbonScoring]

That is what I call dedication! Next time, give me a list and I'll bring you back stuff!

[@CJTrujillo801]

Wow man what an awesome vacation you have a beautiful family thanks for sharing this video with us looks like you guys had a blast I'd get lost looking at all that stuff man so badass thanks again safe travels.......😎🤘

[@CarbonScoring]

Thanks so much - it was a great trip and you are right - there is sooo much it truly is overwhelming!

[@Clappincardboard]

That great mazinger figure you got is insane. Congrats on the pick ups and thanks for the video!

[@CarbonScoring]

Appreciate that - hopefully it gave you a little feel for what it was like in Japan

[@bagginsfrodos]

This video rocks! Sorry I missed the premier! Hope the trip was as fun as the toys are 😅😂😂

[@CarbonScoring]

It was a dream. I didn’t want to make this into a family vlog, but I easily could have!

[@ctrlkey_6093]

Happy to see you had fun in japan. Soon i hope to also go there because of the amazing import figures there! (Btw a way you can fix the pegs on your spider-man mafex figures is by replacing the joints on your mafex figures with the bootleg versions joints that way it shouldn’t cost much and the joints are actually pretty sturdy on those bootlegs!) (also use a heat gun or boiling hot water to take the joints out to swap them And pliers might be the best way to go when getting those things out. P.s just wanted to see if this might fix your problem ,Xiao!

[@CarbonScoring]

Thanks for the tip - you and many other viewers have helped me with this

[@Darry..]

So happy u got some gunpla when u were in Japan ❤️

[@CarbonScoring]

Oh and now I’m kinda hooked - I built the Gundam Aerial the other night and am working on painting her up

[@patricialiautaud5442]

I love your videos I started watching when was 8 now I’m 10 and heading to the 6th grade I’m also a boy I watch your videos from my moms account.My favorite video was your mystery box on black suit spider man my favorite figure from that video was the Mafex. After seeing that figure I fell in love with mafex action figures. 14:05 And one more thing, you definitely take the number one spot on my top three favorite KZbinr’s.

[@CarbonScoring]

That is awesome! I am so glad you enjoy my videos and I am super proud to be your number 1 favorite KZbinr!!!

[@emjay755]

Thanks for sharing your trip to Japan! It’s always an adventure there. I always try to visit with an empty suitcase lol. If you ever go back, definitely check out the action figure scene in Osaka. There’s also a Gundam museum located in Odaiba where you can see a huge Unicorn Gundam statue! One visit is never enough!

[@CarbonScoring]

So true! Osaka is for sure on the list for next time!

[@jonathanhodapp8735]

Dude this is amazing. It’s a dream of mine to go to Japan. Looks amazing

[@CarbonScoring]

It really was a dream come true!

[@ashun9792]

oh man it’s so awesome to find the figure you want in stores. it’s absolutely impossible to find marvel legends in the us now so the only time i’ve felt the joy you feel going to a mandarake was when I heard the zabu wave was available at macys and i got the cable

[@ashun9792]

I would love to go to japan to toy hunt

[@CarbonScoring]

Couldn't agree more! it was the most fun

[@crgscv]

The original Space Battleship Yamato anime was remade in a live action movie in 2010 and new anime series in 2012. Most of the current toys are based on the remakes. The grey gashapon is the Dragon Orphnoch from Kamen Rider 555.

[@CarbonScoring]

Great info! Thanks!

[@UndercoverColton]

This was really cool Carbon! Visiting Japan has always been on my bucket list, mainly for the toys, lol! I’d buy so many Mafex figures… 🤣

[@CarbonScoring]

I didn’t think they were really any cheaper there, but I was mostly at buy-back stores, so those were all pretty valuable ones

[@BaconMcShig]

Cool stuff, glad you finally made it! On my bucket list for sure. (But how the heck do you recognize Ambassador Magma but not Lupin III?)

[@CarbonScoring]

Yeah. The little pockets of knowledge I have are unique and don’t always cross react…

[@Ianator73]

Nice find! Great haul! Thank you for taking us with you on your adventure ❤ My Star Blazer grail, which I wanted, but couldn't afford is the huge kit, with a remote, lights a sounds.

[@Awesomereviews5036]

MAN i feel you about gundam, dont know nothing about it but know that is so FREAKING awesome!! (love the vid and still waiting for that spidey vid!)

[@CarbonScoring]

Mind blowing!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

The red baron items are lovely. Magma Tashi as well ❤

[@CarbonScoring]

Thanks for the watch! Keep coming back for more!

[@danbailey99]

Not super into anime, but would love to visit Japan one day. Looked like such a great trip!

[@CarbonScoring]

Agree - I’m not either - just a couple of specific things (I was telling our guide that is was looking for Yamato stuff and she was like - that’s what my Dad watches!) but everything is so incredible it is just overwhelming!!!

[@blankusername1753]

Man Akihabara will always be my favorite place to go toy hunting! Did you ever get a chance to check the Radio Kaiken where the AmiAmi store and the Kaiyodo stores were? That place is my favorite place to check for new figures XD

[@CarbonScoring]

I only had one day, I am going to have to go back for those!

[@GinoZanotti]

Love your trip to Japan. Had some poppy robots as a kid. Take good care of the Yamato.

[@CarbonScoring]

Will do! Now one of the prizes of my collection - I plan to do an update Yamato/Star Blazers video soon!

[@miragebangbravern]

You were very lucky man, my days in Japan were very limited so I didn't really go out of the Chiba area. But even though I didn't get a whole lot, I was satisfied with what I got. They did an SHF of Akira Yamamoto as well and those are the only two to get the SHF treatment.

[@CarbonScoring]

I have seen that one online!

[@jsteelav8r]

Awesome stuff glad you found some phenomenal additions to a very awesome collection

[@CarbonScoring]

Thanks my friend - it really was a dram trip and I am so happy with what I found!

[@AyaC]

Happy that you enjoyed your Japan Trip. I just came back on April and when I went to Nakano Broadway, there was a store called the Graveyard Gallery which has a theme every month and sell all sorts of merchandise like t-shirts, and acrylic stands. When I went there in late April, they were doing Gatchaman and they even sold a plastic version of their transformation watch which cost about 9900 yen. I also have that Sh Figuarts Mori Yuki and the other figure in the line is Yamamoto Akira which in the original version is a guy but Akira is so pretty and hot I don't mind the change. I think it is this new art style and the new voice cast that I actually like the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 series more although some purists might said it ruin the classic. But to be honest, the original series was a little hard to get through and the new version improved some things that the old one didn't. There is also an Armor Girl project toyline which has Yuki in a battle armor that resembles the Yamato and it is very cute and awesome at the same time.

[@CarbonScoring]

Thanks for all of that! Very helpful! I hate the Gatchaman store wasn’t going when I was there - I would have lost my mind (and my wallet)

[@drums384]

Great video! I love japanese toys especially sofubi! That Mazinger die cast figure looks amazing! Thanks.

[@CarbonScoring]

Glad you enjoyed it - I can vouch for the awesomeness of the Mazinger!

[@thecomicdrill]

Whoa!! Great video. Someone needs to pick up the Starblazers license and produce new action figures and vehicles. Seems like a no brainer.

[@CarbonScoring]

That is a great idea!

[@CarbonScoring]

Especially with the 50th Anniversary this year! There are always new ships being made, but no one has jumped on action figures!!!

[@thecomicdrill]

I hear a video might be coming soon showing off a very large and very limited Yamato?

[@CarbonScoring]

@@thecomicdrill I hope so!! 🤞

Yes, I obviously need to watch that!

Thank you for responding to my comment. I'm a HUGE fan, I have seen almost all of your videos🙃

[@kevink1837]

S.H. Figuarts made Yamamoto Akira as well. She has been spiking in price in the last couple years tho

[@CarbonScoring]

I’ll keep my eyes out for her

[@bradkoski]

You have great taste in vintage 70’s Japanese Toys…….had a question for you:……I never or hardly ever see Macross/Genesis Climber based toys by Gakken, have you seen any of these while in Japan…..?

[@8thduck]

One of these days I gotta make my way to Japan, my personal favorite Japanese property is by far godzilla

[@CarbonScoring]

As you can imagine, there was tons of Godzilla merch. It didn’t make the video, but I saw this incredible vintage Mothra tin figure - so good!

[@jennamoore7093]

Japan is so cool I hope to go thair

[@CarbonScoring]

It was incredible!

[@CosmicRanger-xg7cz]

I grew up on Japanese cartoons, I hope Tamashii nations also make Speed Racers figures to go with the Mach 5.

How do I get back at the live comments?

I actually don’t know if they are stored or if they disappear after the premiere is finished
