I am sure Kidchuckle's intention is for the world hence the title but info is slow to come Come on guys, you wanna keep 'em for yourselves ;D Oh yeah of course its meant to be INTERNATIONAL! I'm slow at updating.. but I'm trying to update as soon as I get info from members. I only know of places in my smal small part of the world. It's meant as a travelers guide to find cool shops or even finding gems in your neighborhood. I always hear people visiting places and wanting to know cool shops. So I think having the info in one easy to find place.. maybe good for everyone. Plus maybe to plan your trip around (geeky i know... but who cares!)

The Comic Book Shoppe www.thecomicbookshoppe.com/ While both locations are primarily American-styled comic shops, the Clyde Avenue location just recently expanded into a neighbouring lot as "Anime Stop" - they deal the typical anime-related merch including manga, DVDs, figures and a small selection of Japanese robot toys. It's kinda on par with Kikiwai, I'd say. The Bank Street location also just recently moved into a larger space an also has a decent selection of Japanese stuff.

Lost & Found Toys (Macross, Gokins, Transformers & Flexi Displays) www.laftoys.comHighly recommended. Run by Carlos, awesome guy to deal with. Bought from them many times, never once disappointed. Edit: laftoys is giving a free flexi display for every in-stock/preorder valks bought. Kidchuckle you might wanna add a specials section at the top for limited time offers, coupons, specials etc. Good suggestion... I'll proably keep that up on the top. I will make a update tonite.

oh great links guys.
oh I like how thats organized Josh!... hmmmm I'm wondering if we should follow Josh's lead and make two seperate categories on the list?? Or keep it alphabetical and put (vintage) on the side of the toy stores that sell vintage... what do you guys think is better?

k sounds good.. if you can get his name that he uses on the RJ board that would be good. Thanks 45 caliber! Just being a bit cautious.. i'd to keep a special section for sellers that arn't big online stores and members of this board. I'd like to keep it to those trusted sellers and members. so if you trust him 45, then thats good enough for me

OH yeah I remember seeing my first gobot as a kid.. before transformers ever appeared. I forgot his name. The little red Jet. But I was amazed.. whata cool idea. And the price was always good for them
Yeah the gobot show was done by american company. and well TF.. japanese. But I think the american company had very very low budget.. and thats why the show sucked!
