CS Toys
is like a neighborhood toy store. Everyone likes the owner, the staff work hard and are greatly appreciated, there are a bunch of regular customers who come in whenever they are able, and at holidays people often get a little something extra with their purchase.
Only the store is in Japan.
And the customers are all over the world.
Started in 2005, CS Toys sells toys based on tokusatsu, specifically Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and recently, Ultraman.
The real show, however is CS Toys Live, otherwise known as The Pack-and-Ship Show. Here, store runner Mr. S turned the novel idea of seeing your order get packed into a sort of variety show, with product reviews, trips to the arcade, a running commentary by a regular group, and, of course, packing and shipping the orders.
