So far I've found two places that specialize in vintage toys. The one I was really excited about was closed, but the windows were filled with vintage boxed seventies stuff, including Shogun Warriors/Jumbo Machinders, all manner of mecha/giant robot, and Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets (which I am most excited about).
The other place I found was simply packed with all manner of contemporary and vintage, but less on the quality of the other store in terms of boxed and mint. Shogun Warriors fans would have been in heaven with the amount of small die cast robots from the seventies they had in their display cases, as well as a handful of Jumbo Machinders. They also had a big display case full of Star Wars stuff, including vintage on the card.
A box was villed with nineties international carded GI Joes, including the funskool packaging.
In terms of Mego, there was a boxed Planet of the Apes playset, a boxed 12" Batman (I think it was the Parkdale version), a 12" Wonder Woman, and a boxed Empire Spiderman helicopter.
They also had a Marx Batman cowl from '66.
Piles and piles of nineties stuff was stacked around the place as well.
Anyone into vintage model kits, particularly mecha, Gundam, anime vehicles would have been in heaven.
Also huge piles of Medicom Real Action Heroes, and the 12" contemporary action figure selection was mind-blowing, including customs of Bruce Willis in Die Hard, Blade Runner, Face Off, etc.
