Been going to Meltdown since the late 90's. They were on the North side of Sunset back then. Picked up my second toy there since I started collecting: Mego Captain America. Cap was missing a thumb. I said, "This guy looks like he just walked off a scene from The Pope of Greenwich Village; how 'bout compensating for the missing digit?" They didn't get the reference and didn't budge on the price. Bought him "as is". It will forever be memorable, as on my drive home I saw 'Melrose' Larry Green on Sunset holding up Howard Stern signs.
Called up Meltdown today to see what was going to happen to their stock. 50% off was the response, so I drove there and picked up a Popy PB-95 Kamen Rider Sky Turbo
Gonna' really miss this place.
