At Tokyo Disneyland, I Found a New Collecting Obsession

We have There are many Disney products. In our house, a room of a room is specifically dedicated to Disney posters and memories. In other rooms, we have the shelves dedicated Star wars The edge of the galaxy, Robin hood, toy story, and more. It’s a lot of things. So finally visit this bucket list to visit Japan Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea We knew that we should easily pick up with the purchase.

But then I saw.

Disneysa’s abandonment Indiana Jones walking (It’s like a Disneyland trip) Besides Crystal skull themed) I saw that the walking vehicle sells small, match box-sized replica. I had to have it. It was small, it was something I love and hyper specific. It was the key. This was not just one thing Indiana Jones-Really shirt, was a walking vehicle this walk. I praised it.

I then realized a few walks, amazing Be frozen I just got out, there was just a mini-walking vehicle. And PETER PAN walk. At the end of the day I was carrying eight new walkers on my back. The next day in Tokyo Disneyland, the purchase continued, and at the end of our visit, I received 12 vehicles for about $ 15.

(At the top level, left to right, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones and Beauty and animal, frozen and PETER PANand To 20,000 leagues below the sea and Jungle Cruise. At the bottom, there is Soarin ‘resort monorail and Ugatopy, Happy walk With the holidayand Toy story Mania.)

Vehicles are made by a company called Tomica and they put it in with Disney from this time According to Wiki2001. Thus, it’s not like I’m the first person to discover them. The literal has been around for decades. However, the size, and the specificity just talked to me. Moreover, I knew I could easily find places to show many disney full of disneys.

But I had to put restrictions. An important part of the purchase was voter. I don’t get everything. I really used to take the vehicles for walking and trips I really like. Of course, when I received a lot, in one of the stores in Tokyo Disneyland, there was a demonstration that seems to be in the present vehicle right now. There were more than 12 ways.

You can see a famous walking vehicle that is not there: From Starcruiser Star tours. When they began to buy them, there was one of my first thoughts, “there is one Star tours“Then I checked the walking and the park. No, not, no. NO at least now. Then I knew there were pre-printed vehicles Star tours This is perhaps, I will buy on the next date.

But later, history occurred almost sooner. After our visit to Japan, I found myself in Mecca, Nakano Broadway. A few minutes outside Tokyo, these four-storey shopping center are full of all kinds of trade and you can spend days lost in stores. I entered a store at a time and saw I believed Star tours I was a ride vehicle. It had a sign next to saying something about “330”, although it was a little different. I asked the employee for more information.

It turned out, this special piece was not 330 yen, nor was 3,300 yen. 330,000 yen was about $ 2,300 in the United States. According to the sign of the sign, it was a stopped version of the vehicle and clear, very rare and valuable. “Do you still want?” asked. Of course, the answer was, yes, but I could not pay it, so I said “not, thank you.” Then he took the sign and wrote on it, and clearly clarified the piece.

That was the moment. In two minutes, I was ready to know how expensive this piece is, but not knowing that it would be more expensive than in the park. If it was $ 200 or something, I would pull the trigger. I was on vacation! I wanted Star tours For my collection! Of course, I did not receive, but I figured out my official adding to the long-list of my obsessee to collect mini-walking machines.
