No I didn't. Dang! I was looking around to see if there was some kind of store exclusive like a special piece of rolling stock but I didn't notice any.

Were you just passing through the Station on your way somewhere else? I would really also love to visit some of those second hand stores that I see so many YouTube videos of. Have you every visited one of them?
The size of the store isn't too big but there's so much stuff fitted in to small areas. I've been intending on going to this store for years but Tokyo Station was a necessary place that I needed to continue my traveling through so it worked out well. The Capsule Plarail toys were fortunate finds as I saw Gachapon vending machines everywhere covering the most bizarre things, but it was at another train station which contained around four Thomas wind-up series. I did see a couple of second hand stores. What I mostly saw were packed 5-7 leveled stores featuring all these strange figurines and action figures of anime characters I'd never heard of, and all these tiny hobby items like detailed models of buildings and places that just looked so delicate. Characters and licenses which I mostly saw everywhere (which is not an exaggeration) were Peanuts, Hello Kitty, Miffy, and Gudetama.
