My trip to St. Pete

[Horseaholic]

My boyfriend is a HUGE collector of Japanese Vinyl toys...Crazy I know :p. There is a store called "Super 7" in San Fran and a fellow collector decided to team up with the guys from that store and open a Super 7 here in FL!!! Which is a HUGE deal..comming from NYC my boyfriend was missing his toy fix a lot (since the city was only 10 minutes away and full of stores and conventions for these kind of toys) so when we heard Super 7 was opening in Florida we knew we had to make the 2 hour trip (not too bad) to St. Pete for the grand opening! I thought a few of you might enjoy the pics :)

We got
a hotel room in a "Historical" hotel...LMBO Our "tub" was hysterical!
I barely fit in that thing standing up! Check the plumbing too! hahah

that has to be the weirdest bathtub i have ever seen!
love the pictures! cannot quite comment on the toys, i've never heard of such store. glad your bf got his toy fix though. :)

Cool photos! Thanks for sharing.

If he's going to collect toys, those are the kind you want him to collect. I was into motocross racing and at a few thousand dollars apiece (a lot more now), dirt bikes are a heck of a lot more expensive!!!!

They're a type of mangrove tree btw... ;)

[Horseaholic]

Lol petra and jackieb. Unfortunately these little guys sell for 100s! Sometimes thousands. For our move we had to insure his toys for $10,000!

Peyton- realllyy?? Interestinggg thanks lol

These toys cost so much because they are made one at a time. By the same gentlemen who used to make the first godzilla toys in Japan. They are all hand poured into the molds and everything. Often, they are hand painted as well. The green toy on the shelf behind steve and darth vader (The camo one) sold for $1000!!

I just absolutely LOVE that tree. Thats the kind of tree where one could relax and read.
Nice pics!!
