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...
Sweet display!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing Warpath and Powerglide. I remember having both of those guys sitting on my toy shelf as a kid.
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent 1980s display! FUN FACT: I'm actually finishing up Treading The Tommyknockers right now and there is a reference to G.I. Joe figures in the book, with Crystal Ball and Snake Eyes being specifically named. Crystal Ball seems out of left field as a mention but King and possibly his son, Owen, helped to develop the figure in some way.
ReplyDeleteAwesome little nugget of info there ,BBQ 👍 I remember my sister taking me to the store to buy Crystal Ball. She told me he looked a little like Vincent Price. At the time I had no clue who he was but now I see the resemblance!
DeleteAn absolutely fantastic display of goodness.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteThis is the sort of thing that needs to become a trend!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! More shelfies, please!
ReplyDeleteOh man! Lion-O, He-Man, Rambo, Optimus & Chuckles!!! You have all the greats here!
ReplyDeleteThat was my aim. I wanted to group all the icons together.
