Zerotoys is located at Jl Sunda no 39A, Bandung, Indonesia, 40112. It's kind of tricky to locate, but you will see that it is definitely worth the trip and paying a visit to when you find it.
What makes this shop special are the things they sell.. they got vintage toys at loose prices. It's definitely for connoiseurs of old skool toys, yo. If you're from the new skool, you would not appreciate this as much as i do simply because of the fact that you were not born in this era hehehehehe.
Old Skool VS New Skool aside, i think visitors would definitely enjoy the Vintage Toy Museum that they have.. and this is what i consider as "worth the trip" :) From first glance, the museum is pure vintage. 80s toys such as vintage Star Wars, Transformers, MASK, GI JOE, Masters of The Universe, Silverhawk, and Japanese Super Robots are all neatly displayed. I asked the shop attendant where they got all of these from, and he said it's from the owner's personal collection. You can tell this owner dude is really Old Skool :)
Even though the sign said it's a work in progress, this blogger thinks that it won't be long till this Museum is properly finished. It will be on the map soon, trust me. Probably as the best, biggest, and only museum of vintage toys in Indonesia.
Enough talk, let's get to the pictures. I won't comment.. i'll just let y'all enjoy these photos, and hopefully y'all would get a chance to go there one day :)
Awesome, right?? Looking at all these babies kinda bring back good and painful nostalgia. The good part is that i can take a trip down memory lane and remember how it was back in the days: worry-free, happy, and cool childhood.
The painful part? Well.. I USED TO HAVE MOST OF THESE TOYS BUT MY PARENTS GAVE 'EM AWAY TO MY COUSINS, OR HAVE 'EM THROWN OUT BECAUSE THEY THINK BIG BOYS SHOULDN'T BE PLAYING WITH ROBOTS ANYMORE!!! AAAAAARRGGHHHH!!!
Peace out, fellow toys afficionados.. until then, keep on collecting and never let anybody tell you otherwise :)
