You probably know NordVPN you might even be using them but if you are new to VPNs and what they do the simplest explanation is that they can make your computer or device look like it's accessing the internet from another country or location which can be super helpful in particular if you want to access streaming content movies TV shows etc from other countries NordVPN is absolutely great for that but I use it for two main things in particular number one is anytime that I am attached to public Wi-Fi like at an airport or a coffee shop or anything like that I use it for the encryption to keep my device safe because without the encryption of a VPN using public Wi-Fi is essentially like being out in the wild wild west and number two is remember travel that thing that is now coming back and we're able to do again now that the borders of Japan are open well more often than not using a VPN to make it look like you are booking from within the country that you are hoping to travel to can yield lower prices and results for things like flights hotels etc now I keep NordVPN on all of my devices and if you are interested in giving it a shot you can use my unique URL in the description box down below along with the code TokyoLens to give yourself a two-year plan at a huge discount as well as four extra months for free as always a huge thank you to NordVPN for supporting the channel that is the end of the sponsors segment and actually while I was looking through this stuff I saw something that kind of made me laugh over here this thing here is kind of made to look like a switch but the GC game computer for what what games do you even put it are they built in what's what's the deal with this this made me laugh pretty hard I kind of love it this is actually my first time to ever see a description of the junk corner so various directions for use repair and use it use it as parts use it as the parts of your machine aren't these the last two kind of the same there's an entire junk computer section here as well yes an old Victor video movie camera for 550 yen there's probably a battery for this thing somewhere around again very very tempting to grab that and see if I can't power it and record on it oh okay put it away and head up to the next floor while we're into the last two floors these two are probably the most involved and outside of the junk floor this floor in hobby off is by far my favorite when you look around everything here every Japanese toy just reminds me of 90s toys it just brings back that 90s vibe and I love absolutely everything about it like get these old Beyblades and whatnot I have not seen or played with Beyblades in far too long I think it's time to bring it back got all these little figures for like a hundred yen each anytime that you end up with walls and walls of figures like this it's really really hard not to get sucked in like I don't even know what this is I have no clue it looks like some kind of rocket ship meets a gun meets I have no it opens up it opens up and it looks like there's two of them so you could do whatever that is with a friend but oh these videos these thrift store videos they're a great opportunity for me to not only show what's in the thrift store and do a bit of scouting but they're also incredibly almost stressful and distracting because there's so much that I want to see do and look at like for figure collectors everything you could ever want is in these cases now would I turn it towards the cases because the lights that they have in them it tends to get a little wonky like this some of these cases are gold mines though look at the Millennium Falcon there I know it's not Japanese but it's in great condition and this little dude over here look at him look at him look at some of it does come at quite the cost though like this highway patrol car here for seven thousand seven hundred yen that's something else and I'm really really tempted to grab this here the Decepticon and coming back to what I was saying before about the 90s vibe that you get off of stuff this reminds me of all the Transformers and like the Beast Wars toys I don't know if you ever had Beast Wars toys back in the 90s I absolutely loved them with my brothers but this here Transformers universe four thousand four hundred yen for this and seemingly worth every penny it is in beautiful condition and then you get into here oh my god there's so many Transformers toys this aisle is a little crowded it's mostly figures and I tend to blow by figures because I don't know that much about them but coming around the corner here I have a little bit of an admission to make so I just took a trip back to Canada to see my family and while I was there I kind of re-fell in love with Pokemon cards as I found a huge set of my collection and my brother's collection of Pokemon cards and now coming back like the foil Charizard here in Japan is actually moderately cheap that's only 33,000 yen for a foil Pokemon or a foil Charizard that is the word it's right there just say it that one's 2,200 yen probably in not as good condition but they're not that expensive here in Japan now I'm no Pokemon card expert I don't know all about them in their prices but if you do and you know why the Japanese Charizards and whatnot are that much cheaper drop it down below but they've got the Pokemon cards here most of these are obviously the newer ones the back looks very very different as well but a huge chunk that's got to be well over a hundred cards right there and it's only 440 yen for all of that that is completely bonkers that's at least like two starter decks right there what okay it's just I thought this was like a full starter deck set it's an empty box it's completely empty but still if you're collecting stuff like that that is a hundred and ten yen for that and that is insanely exciting now you'll notice obviously all of the cards are in Japanese I have yet to find any of the English cards in Japan if you know a place to get them let me know I found a set on Amazon but they weren't particularly cheap I mean here you get a lot of board games in Japan there's really only one board game that's super well known and popular and that is this here the game of life Jinsei game and how much is this gonna run okay it's not in perfect condition it's gonna run you about a thousand yen to get Jinsei game but pretty much every Japanese person knows this game and they call the game of life the monopoly of Japan so there you go I've never had the chance to play a board game with any of my Japanese friends though and I got really distracted by this squishy pokeball here okay I gotta get out of here okay so also speaking of Pokemon there are these and I don't know if these exist overseas at all wow that is a huge huge bag of them this is for like a Pokemon game that's available at some game centers and shopping centers and whatnot where kids sit down and they put their collections up and they battle and they get new cards or tokens or medallions or whatever you want to call them and I don't know if this exists overseas but if you've ever seen it let me know right near the entrance you have the retro case right here which has amazing stuff like these guys right here all the retro ninja turtle stuff ranging from 3,300 yen up to 5,500 yen probably beyond lots of retro Japanese toys I find myself insanely tempted by these little guys here there's just something about this that makes me want to start a collection in the studio of tiny little plastic figures also if that's not enough for you they also have a full collection of tamagotchi stuff here ranging from as low as 1,100 yen all the way up to 11,000 yen but these retro cases are probably the ones that hold the strongest pull for me a while back while I was in Kyoto I actually found an Astro Boy or Atom figure that I absolutely loved and grabbed and later found out that he can open up and his chest lights up and everything his batteries are dead and I have yet to pick up the screwdriver that I need to repair him I'll have to do that at some point but this is the one thing I'm trying the hardest not to buy right now this little R2-D2-esque tamagotchi our last floor of the day is also hobby off everything from the RC model cars plastic models let's go in and check it out also huge huge thanks to the staff here who are always insanely kind and accepting in every single hard-off that I go to of me recording I have literally never had trouble once but speaking of trouble this is the kind of floor where you run into trouble there is so much stuff to look through here it would take me forever and a day to go through all of this there's definitely definitely something in amongst all of this that I want like if I actually end up starting that little plastic toy collection in the studio I can assure you that it's gonna happen in a place like this like look at the little master Roshi you can't tell me that you don't want a little bit why does he not have a price master Yoshi should have a price he squeaks too oh okay there's there's I'm gonna be leaving here with a giant bag of stuff I don't think I've ever actually left after one of these thrift store videos and not had more stuff that I can carry home at once so Japan has this lovely obsession with the little poop character you can find the little poop emoji character everywhere you go this side here is gonna have a ton of kids toys and kids games and this actually it looks really fun to me looks like a game where you make a ball bounce across a whole thing that you may I want to do that that's amazing and once again we have the game of life this time Hello Kitty edition and I don't like the way everything shifted when I did that so hopefully this isn't gonna all come falling down we will be okay we'll likely be okay and then plushies and whatnot over here there are so many model kits and I was actually really surprised to find out that some of these RC cars can get insanely expensive like thousands and thousands of dollars for these and the Japan airsoft stuff Japan loves their airsoft they call it survival games and I actually know a girl out in Shikoku who participates in survival games and have been thinking of putting that together like just doing a day with her and turning it into a big adventure what do you think on top of that there is an entire set of very specialized recycle stops or thrift stores just like this one in the Akihabara area I'm thinking of putting all of those together into a single video as well it might end up being a really long video so it might go on the Tokyo Lens Explorer channel when we do it but if you are interested let me know in the comments down below thank you guys so much and I will see you again real soon oh also there's a whole playlist of thrift store videos if you're interested I'm gonna do my shopping now so feel free to check out any one of those and we'll see you again real soon you你可能知道NordVPN，你甚至可能正在使用它們，但如果你是VPN新手，它們能做什麼，最簡單的解釋是，它們可以讓你的計算機或設備看起來像是從另一個國家或地點訪問互聯網，這可能是超級有用的，特別是如果你想從其他國家訪問流媒體內容電影電視節目等，NordVPN絕對是偉大的，但我用它來做兩件主要的事情，特別是第一是任何時候，我連接到公共Wi-Fi，如在機場或咖啡館或任何類似的地方。Fi 時，我都會使用它來加密，以確保我的設備安全。第二，記住旅行這件事，現在日本的邊境開放了，我們又可以去旅行了。通常情況下，使用
