Pretty good website for info on American toys. There is some Japanese toy info but it is very little. |

XYBER ANIME
This site is jam packed with info. Site has many great original pictures of this collector's toys. He covers everything inculding DBZ, Evangelion and Gundam model kits. He is also a much better reviewer then me. Its highly recommended by me. I'm kind of jealous as the site has a high quality look and feel too it. I really love the layout and the color selection. |

The famous Rik Ruff from Microman MegaPlex does it again. Another very well done site. This time; Henshin Cyborg,Transformers and other Takara toylines take the spotlight. Site layout is totally different from the MegaPlex but one thing stays the same. The great pics. I highly recommend Rik's sites if you are looking for toy pictures. He can't be beat. |

DRAGONBALL TOY ISLAND
Very good DBZ toysite. In fact its the most comprehensive DBZ toysite I have found. Has many great pics of DBZ toys from Bandai and Irwin. Also has a great message board with lots of daily posts. This is a must check out site for DBZ toy fans. One can easily see how much work goes into this site. |

SAIYANET

|
STORES
|
|
|
ACTIONACE
Very good site with alot of various toys. Has American toys as well as some little known Japanese toys. Usually has best pricing available. |
|
|
HOBBYLINK JAPAN
This is a website based in Japan that sells Japanese toys at retail price. The shipping and waiting time is slightly longer then the average US based website. But keep in mind that the toys are coming from Japan and you are paying Japanese retail. Primarily sells model kits of all types but is starting to carry Japanese toys like Transformers: Car Robots and Soul of Chogokins. If you can wait for the toys this site is highly recommended. And the prices can't be beat as they are Japanese retail. |
|
|
EXPLOSIONTOYS
This is a small import toy shop based in New Jersey about 20 minutes from my home. The toy shop also runs a very nicely done website. I've never purchased online from them. Since the toy shop is so close to my house I can usually hop down and see them. The staff is very friendly in person so I'm sure that wouldn't change with orders placed online. Prices can be a little high which is always a minus. |
|
|
IMAGEANIME
Another toy shop which runs their own website. The shop is based in New York City, which is also easy for me to get to. So I've never ordered from the website before but have visited the shop on many an occasion. The staff is very knowledgeable. As with ExplosionToys the prices can get high. But they have to pay the mortgage. |
|
|
JUSTBETOYS
This is also nicely done website with a knowledgeable staff. The prices are okay but could always be lower. |
|
|
OUTERLIMITS
Another toy shop based in New Jersey. They also have a very well done site. They carry new and old Japanese toys as well as new and old American toys. They have a great selection. I've never ordered from the site as I would rather walk in. Very knowledgeable staff. |
|
|
TOYS ONLINE JAPAN
Website based in Japan as you can tell from the name. Aki, who runs it is a great guy who is always willing to help you out. The prices are slightly higher then Japanese retail. The shipping can get high sometimes so be prepared. |
|
|
DIAMOND COMICS
Diamond Comics isn't a shop. Diamond Comics is the # 1 distributor of products to comics shops. They distribute a magazine called PREVIEWS. You can order PREVIEWS items through your comic shop. As of late they have done alot of great things for the import toy market by distributing Japanese toys at sometimes half the Japanese retail price. The prices are great but be prepared for a long wait as it can take forever to get what you ordered. Six to Eight month waiting periods can happen. But at half price it may be worth it. |
|
|
EBAY
By now everyone has heard of eBay. eBay is sort of a double edged sword as it has given us the ability to find alot of rare toys. However this is an auction site so the bidded prices can get out of hand. |
