In Tokyo Disneyland, I found a new collection obsession

Our A lot of things Disney. In our house, an entire room is specifically dedicated to Disney stickers and souvenirs. In other rooms, we have dedicated shelves for Star Wars Galaxy edgeand Robin Hood, game story, And more. It is too much. Thus, when you finally take the bulldozing list to Japan to visit Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disnia We knew that we had to take it easily with purchase.

But then I saw him.

Disenia leaving Indiana Jones Ride (It is like Disneyland’s trip, Excluded Crystal skull Under the title), I noticed that they were selling a replica of the small match boxes of the ride vehicle. I had to get it. It was small, under the title of something I loved, and a special hype. This was the key. This was not just some Indiana Jones-A shirt, the ride vehicle was from this Rose. I was clouded.

A few rounds later, I realized the amazing Frozen Ride has just left a small ride car. and Peter Ban Rose. At the end of the day, I was carrying eight new vehicles to ride in my bag. The next day, in Tokyo Disneyland, the purchase continued, and by the end of our trip, I bought 12 vehicles, at a cost of about $ 15 per piece.

Vehicles are made by a company called Tomica and have been cooperating with Disney since then, According to Wiki2001. So it’s not as if you were the first person to discover this. They were present for literal contracts. But size, exclusively, and privacy happens to me. In addition, due to its size, I knew that I can easily find places to display in our very diesel house.

But I had to set borders. An important part of my purchase was selective. I didn’t buy everything. I was buying vehicles for horseback riding and really loved them. And while I definitely bought a lot, at a store in TOKYO Disneyland, there was an offer with what appears to be every vehicle currently available. There was a way more than 12.

You may notice a single famous ride vehicle that does not exist: Starcruiser from Star tours. When I started buying this, it was one of my first thoughts, “Is there one to Star tours? Then I reviewed all over the trip, but no, there was no. Star tours This, perhaps, I will buy at a later time.

But this subsequent date occurred almost much closer. Later on our Japanese trip, I found myself in the obsessed of Mecca called Nakano Broadway. A few minutes outside Tokyo, this four -storey commercial center is filled with all kinds of goods and you can spend days in loss in its stores. At a point, I walked to a store and saw what I thought was Star tours Ride a vehicle you are yet. This looked somewhat different, and he had a mark next to her saying something about “330”. I asked the employee more information.

It turned out that this particular piece was not 330 yen, and it was not 3300 yen. It was 330,000 yen, equivalent to about $ 2,300. According to a remarkable translation, there was a parked version of the car, and it is clear that it is very rare and valuable. “Do you still want that?” I asked. The answer, of course, was yes, but I could not bear it, so I said, “No, thank you.” Then I took the sign and wrote on it, explaining the cost of the piece.

This was the moment, though. In the two minutes that previously realized the cost of this piece, but also knowing that it will be more expensive than those in the garden, you are ready. If it was $ 200 or something of this, I would have pulled the trigger. I was on vacation! I wanted Star tours For my group! Of course, I did not buy it, but I realized that I officially added small ride vehicles to a long list of collection obsessions.
