I didn't see any Takaras when I went to Nakano Broadway last summer! You got lucky!

Check in some of the stores that buy back vending machine capsule toys. They have a ton of those in Nakano Broadway but huge malls tend to have them. There's an antique toy store there as well but I didn't see any ponies, they might have gotten some since I was last there.

I went into Mandarake but I didn't know they bought back Takaras! I only saw action figures like Transformers and video games, it's where I got my Japanese copies of Golden Sun 1 and 2 MIP.

Aw, I hope you can get it! 

Best of luck!

I'd just leave him alone. Like SpikeTheDragon said, it's probably in the window to help communicate that whoever owns it is interested in buying more. "Not for sale" means not for sale, not "keep asking me until I say yes".

[Nence]

Oh I understand your frustrations!
Good luck and hope you can buy that takara. I want a real too.___.

[hilamb]

Oh wow. Good luck, i hope you can get the takara.  Im keeping my fingers crossed here.

Okay so I went back today with Becca.   We talked to the guy and found out the problem was that the pony belonged to one of the staff who just wanted to display it in the store.    Becca told the guy I would pay more so he went to ask the lady who owned it.   He comes back and says so how does 5000 yen sound? $50.   

I about lost it then but I made it out of the store long enough with the Takara to completely freak out.  I think people were staring at me and I remember Becca telling me to breathe.

I got it I got it I got it.    I own a Takara pony!!!!!!!!!!!!!   And its in the package.    I feel like hyperventilating again.    I never ever thought I would own one!!!!!   I have been under a lot of stress since I moved to Japan and this seriously made my year.     I own a Takara!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the reaction but my roommates have been teasing me with how worked up I have been.  I just keep telling them they dont understand.  lol

OMG!  Absolutely mega congrats!  That is just the most awesome thing ever!

[Lilja]

MASSIVE congratulations!!!!! That was the same Takara MLP which was the first one I laid my hands on a couple of years back (although mine was without its box), I totally remember the feeling back then! It was amazing to finally hold something that you had yearned for for so long, but never thought you'd ever have the chance to own! And for only 5000 yen!!! You are an extremely lucky person!!! Enjoy your fashionable pony!!
