Military Toy Shop Visit
Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2014 6:25 pm
I was working up north today and was able to stop at the Military Toy Shop in Beaver Creek, Ohio just east of Dayton and very near Wright Pat. and the Air Force Museum.
I was granted permission to take a few pictures and post them here. This post and the comments are totally unsolicited. This place is amazing
You get to see in person things that haven't been sold in a retail store for years as well as a lot of things normally only seen in pictures on-line. The store features not only vintage 1/18 but all the latest Merit/JSI offerings. They buy and sell vintage items brought in by customers and still have a good selection of 21st Century planes.
The photos highlight mostly 1/18 scale but a large part of the shop is dedicated to smaller scale die cast including about every Corgi I've ever seen and a great many vehicles, planes and brand names I didn't know existed. There's huge scale RC Warbirds, young kids toys, 1/6 scale Dragon and G.I. Joe figures and even loose out of box rare items.
This is a must stop for any trip to or through the Dayton area. Did I mention it was about 15 minutes from the Air Force Museum?![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
