Action Figure Of The Day
Go! Games and Toys
The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...
Seeing that toy just brought back a huge childhood memory... when I had these huge Shogun Warrior toys. One was this robot guy and the other was Godzilla. If I had more space to display things, I'd consider going out and tracking them down.
ReplyDeleteMy older brother had all of them. Mazinger Z and a bunch of other ones that I wouldn't be able to name off the top of my head. They were great toys. The fist launching feature on them was awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteGodzilla (and friends) figures were the first toys that I actually collected/displayed as a kid. I've purged many things over the years, but never could get rid of those, they just remind me of my childhood too damn much to ever part with them.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that? I feel the same way btw. Only I have a hard time purging much of anything vintage in my collection. Especially those that make that all important childhood connection.
ReplyDeleteGodzilla - so much goodness.
ReplyDeleteI agree, wholeheartedly 👍
