PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 I may go just to see what they have on display (maybe pickup kid shf goku). I was originally mostly interested in getting the SDCC SHF Vegeta, Gohan and Raditz figures, but they've since been made available on pbus. I'm not expecting much since it's taking over the old Citizen watch store location. It'll be a small and oddly shaped (interior) storefront. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Got back from the visit to the TN NYC store about 2 hrs ago. The store space is maybe 1k square feet (not a big store) just enough to display their stuff and sell. They had the VF25F Alto Revival version and VF31AX Hayate on display and for sale near the register (towards the back). FYI they are allowing walk-ins but there is a wait. Reservation is not so much of a wait if you're close to the reservation time. Quote
sh9000 Posted September 9, 2023 Author Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Yep. Confirmed Macross items in their permanent NY store. They also had the HMR VF-0D and Tiny Session Valkyries. It would be cool if this leads to other stores opening in the US. https://www.toyark.com/2023/09/08/tamashii-nations-store-new-york-grand-opening-recap-513596 Edited September 9, 2023 by sh9000 Quote
jvmacross Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 We're the prices marked up or MSRP? Quote

Bolt Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 It's very exciting to finally have a Tamashii Nations store here state side. Even if it is expensive. It's the beginning of something deculture. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Sorry I didn't really bother to check the prices of the Valks because my logic was everything is already marked up (to prices you can probably find at other retailers usag, bbts, gp, etc.)... aside today I wasn't there for the Valks. Also it didn't really help that almost all of the displays and the product stacks had no prices listed/displayed. My friend had to ask the store employee the prices for the Store Exclusives NXEdge Hi-Nu and NG. And... the line to pay, especially the cash only register was right next to the DX Chogokin Display/stacks and people were standing/lined right in front of it.

lechuck Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Nice. Now imagine walking in there and asking the store clerk when the latest Transformers will be incoming. 🤪😄 Hopefully we get to see something like this in Europe, but I'm guessing it would probably end up in London or Paris not anywhere in Germany. 9 hours ago, PsYcHoDyNaMiX said: Sorry I didn't really bother to check the prices of the Valks because my logic was everything is already marked up (to prices you can probably find at other retailers usag, bbts, gp, etc.)... aside today I wasn't there for the Valks.

Right in line with every other nerd/geek boutique shop out there, followed by people catching on that prices are too high, less visitors/buyers, no new stock, shop going into a lull sitting on old stock and finally closure after a brief couple of years. We will have to see how long corporate Bandai will want to entertain something like this outside Japan. Quote

jenius Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Man I wish, that's be great for me. If anyone is heading to the NY store, grab me a metallic tiny session exclusive! Quote
