I live in Australia and am about to go on holiday to Korea (Seoul), Netherlands (Rotterdam), France (Paris) and UK (London).
Are there any toys you recommend I should get from those countries? I like a huge range of different toys.
Currently my only plan is to get Turning Mecard toys from korea.
Also is there any specific toy shop you would recommend from those cities?
>>6381152
gee billy, FOUR countries?
>>6381407
The korea and france stops are just a few days each on the way to the other two countries
>>6381152
Biklonz from Korea, even if you don't like them you can bring them back and sell them for a pretty penny.

I already have cross attacker myself, and was going to keep an eye out for the mammoth set that can conbine with it.
Are there any other certain ones I should keep an eye out for?
>>6381152
Winx, Gormiti, ... you know, the Italian stuff.
>>6381152
Miffy (here called Nijntje) is pretty much the most dutch you are gonna get without making it red, white, blue or orange
oh yeah, don't forget to buy some syrup waffles (stroopwafels), They are delicious and the flagship snack/food item of The netherlands
>>6381152
pfffff, going to Rotterdam
That's like the worst city in my country, visit Haarlem instead. There is a special toys store over there called: De Toyboys who deal in new and vintage toys
>>6381958
Are they close enough together that you can do a day trip?
>>6381734
Thank you. I'm not a fan of Miffy but my aunt loves her so I'll pick her up some stuff

It's a 50 minute drive, but i have been there and they have lots of vintage toys, friendly people and an arcade machine with lots of retro arcade games (i even played donkey kong on it!)
and if you go there, i recomend you go to the game shop (generic name but its good), run by a pretty nice man where he has old video games for a good price, oh yeah, don't forget that region locking exists (if you go there, tell them that luca sent you there!)
another store i found deals in board games, looks like a nice place
so, i have two links [for you]

Im in korea right now visiting some family. What other toys can i look out for
>>6386352
I'm the OP.
Turning Mecard toys are pretty cool. They are small hotwheels sized cars (perhaps slightly bigger) that auto transform when they drive over the cards that come with them.
I own Biklonz Cross Attacker and he is pretty cool.
I also own and recommend:
Tobot Deltatron
Tobot Quatran
Tobot Adventure Z (make sure you get the adventure version, not regular Tobot Z)
If I had to only own one, it would be either Deltatron to play with, or cross attacker to look at.
>>6386639
>transform when place over the cards
So.... Bakugon knock offs?
>>6386882
Possibly? I've never looked into those toys. But they're cars instead of balls so a bit cooler to me
>>6381152
You jelly?
>>6389041
Wow! Hopefully I can find a store with this sort of stock
I'm going to Russia from America next year. Is there anything I should look for? Toy recommendations of any kind would be appreciated.
>>6390100
This company makes really cool wooden toys if you're in to that sort of stuff.

Otherwise I can just think of getting an authentic matryoshka doll set
