Hello /toy/! I'm visiting Berlin in a couple of weeks and I plan to look for some vintage toys.
Mainly stuff from the 60's, 70's, 80's and some 90's.
Google gives me a fair pick but I would love to hear from locals and other visitors.
Help a friend out?
>TL;DR: Vintage toy shops in Berlin, Germany.

Here where I live there's only one, and they're fucking assholes. If you ever want to sell/trade they'll tell you your shit's worthless and deliberately rip you off. I had the owner try to tell me my original perfect-condition straight-arm Cobra Commander was only worth $5.
There used to be more, but as nerd culture shifted due to the leftist hijacking and takeover so did the rest of the comic shops, which now only deal with new inventory to retail.

Sounds like most of Europe then.
I will spend money, not trade anything, so that's a relief.
Can you name the store?

Oh, haha. I thought you were German, I missed the "Here where I live".
Owner sounds like fucking shithead anyway.
To be honest, if you expect something as shown in your image with old-ass tokusatsu, anime/manga and American comic stuff then you'll be sorely disappointed.
Germany doesn't really have that nostalgia-nerd culture which would warrant those kind of toy shops and, from my own experience, even the normal comic stores themselves feature mostly the latest mainstream stuff with the occasional oddity thrown in that makes you wonder just how the fuck it got there in the first place.
Hell, the most vintage thing I ever found in them were some old bootleg model kits from Galient and Macross.

Gotcha, but I am looking for all vintage stuff. Mostly western by design.

Then antique shops (which are WAY more common) would be your best bet, especially if you by any chance fancy tin toys, board games, stuffed animals and the like.

Thanks anon, I'll search yelp or something similar for more info and addresses.
Not in Berlin, but in Rhode Island there is a shop called Toy Vault. The owner is a huge asshole. I heard him explain to a small kid that he can't sell him a certainTransformer because he knows the kid will take it out of the box and that toys are meant to be collected and stay MIP.
I card bend there frequently, I keep it soldier as fuck.

>card bend
If that means what I think it means, you're a fucking genius.

What does it mean? Or at least what do you think it means?

You bend and destroy stuff in decent condition? Yes?

My sides!
Daily reminder that The Uncanny X-Men (1963) was about exploring issues surrounding racial prejudice
