ToyFarce News: Collector On Vacation Keeps "Accidentally" Finding Toy Stores Instead of Tourist Attractions?!

"I was just walking around and then, boom! A toy store appeared right in front of me. What are the odds?!" - A local collector who recently set off for a relaxing vacation abroad has found himself in an all-too-familiar situation: discovering every single toy and collectible store in the city he's visiting... purely by accident, of course! ToyFarce investigated... (Inspired by a true story!)

Alex, a self-proclaimed "casual tourist and full-time collector", flew to the south of France for a week of sightseeing, delicious food, and culture. But within hours of landing, he was already knee-deep in action figures at a specialty comic book shop: "I swear, I didn’t plan this!" Alex insisted, as he carried a bag containing an exclusive import figure he never finds at home. "I was just walking toward the beach and the Promenade des Anglais, and somehow ended up at a comic book store. It’s fate, really!" Throughout the trip, Alex has "accidentally" stumbled into multiple comic book stores, vintage toy shops, anime boutiques, and even a local toy convention that just happened to be taking place during his stay.

While most travelers can name historical monuments, famous museums, or scenic viewpoints, Alex's local knowledge is a bit different. "I couldn’t tell you where the landmarks or museums are" he admitted, "...but I can tell you which stores have Bandai Tamashii Nations figures at the best price, and which one carries vintage Playmates TMNT in surprisingly good condition!"

Alex’s travel companions report that he mysteriously disappears during scheduled group tours, only to reappear hours later with a bag full of loot and stories of "accidentally" taking a wrong turn that led directly to another hidden gem of a collectible shop. When asked about his next destination, Alex coyly said "I haven’t planned anything yet... though I did hear there’s a lot of really cool toy stores in Tokyo. I MEAN.. TEMPLES! I heard there’s a lot of really cool temples in Tokyo!"
