EricB Posted March 13, 2006 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2006 Alan,Miles,& whomever else might now...Do you happen to know when the NostalgicHero car show/swap meet is scheduled for this spring? From years past I remember it being in Nagoya?I would like to attend if the dates work out in my favor. My local Japanese bookstore no longer carries the magazine so I don't know when it's scheduled for. I'll be in Japan the last week of April. Thanks for the tip,-e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v12horse Posted March 14, 2006 Share #4 Posted March 14, 2006 Wow, I would love to go to that swap meet. Your a very lucky man Eric. I hope you find some nice stuff for some good deals. Take care,Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogriz91 Posted March 15, 2006 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2006 I went to the one last Spring in Tokyo and it was great, lots of Nissans and a bunch of Toyota 2000 GTs. The swap meet was so-so as most of the parts were for newer cars than S30s but, there were two vendors with a bunch of old magazines that featured older Japanese sports cars and I got some nice S30 magazines.It and the Sagamiko Spring meet would almost be worth the cost to make the trip and stay there long enough to attend both events.

EricB Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted March 15, 2006 I guess it's not meant to be... I am flying out 3 days before the Nagano swap meet. Oh well... Next time. I guess I'll stick to visiting my favorite shops and see what I can afford to bring back.Alan, weird about the overseas subscription service, the website I linked above is the publisher of NH, well one of the links off of that page is what I understood to be the subscription info sheet, here it is:http://www.geibunsha.co.jp/nenkan/nen_nh.htmand it specifically says in English even that they do not ship overseas...weird, their website must be out of date or something if you've been able to get a subscription going...Thanks anyways & all the best,-e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted March 15, 2006 Share #7 Posted March 15, 2006 Eric, I have a 'subscription', but I didn't pay for it. They gave it to me as some kind of freebie a few years ago, so I don't know if I should really class it as a 'subscription' if I don't pay for it......... However, they do accept overseas subscriptions and they even have a page in the mag that is dedicated to this ( in English ). Maybe this is for 'Nostalgic Hero' only and not the other titles in the Geibunsha publishing portfolio - hence the information on the website not being 100% accurate? Here's a scan of the subscriptions page. Surely its worth a try? Do remember that the mag is bi-monthly ( only six issues a year ), so you have to weight the cost up against that: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v12horse Posted March 15, 2006 Share #8 Posted March 15, 2006 Eric, I have a friend in LA who has a subscription to NH. However, it does not come to his house. He has to go to the Japanese bookstore in that little Japantown mall in I believe Gardena when it comes in. -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricB Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted March 15, 2006 BenThe thing with the Japantown bookstores (Kinokuniya and Asahiya) is that all the magazines/videos they bring in to sell to us here in the States they more than DOUBLE the price on... Kinda hurts after a while, especially when you see the japanese retail price printed on the cover... NH only costs 760yen (or about $5) in Japan... Kinda hurts to pay $12-15 after a while... you know?Especially when you can go to a place like MrCraft in Ebisu and find a ton of backissues for sale... I'll just stock up on the cool issues when I'm there.Thanks for the tip Alan...I'll inquire just the same...-e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
