Vintage Toy Stores Part Nine

[RSS]

Aw yeah, here's a present from me and Mantooth, another chapter in my favourite part of the site, Vintage Toy Store shots. This year we spend a lot of time in 1978 when the Star Wars phenom was taking hold but we also explore a local Heroe's World store (most toy collectors know from whence I speak)

Lots of fun sights this time around including vintage Corgi, Matchbox, AHI rack toys, Zee Toys Metal Men, Shogun Warriors and a big sopping pile of Nerf.

And with that, I bid you adieu for the Christmas season, I hope 70s will leave you all lawn darts and Billy beer.


That's it for Plaidstallions this year, I'll return on New Years Eve for the 2nd annual retro awards until then I have toys to put together and well, malt liquor to consume.

Thanks again for all your kind words and insanely funny comments this year, you folks make this site the reason I sit here and scan.

Nice stuff Brian! Love the AHI stuff. The Close Encounters background in that store is cool too.

Merry Christmas!

Wonderful. I always wanted to visit a Heroes World but the closest one to me was 4 hours away.

Heroes World. Store changed my life. Used to go to the one in Woodbridge Center every Wednesday. Got to be friends with all of the employees. One evening Mike, the Assistant Manager tells me he's going on break, and wants to know if I want to go get some dinner. On the way to Wendy's, we run into his brother, James, James' fiancee, and their cousin, Adrienne. That's the first time I had ever met her.

We've been married for almost 15 years now.

She loves Batman, Spider-Man, Star Wars, and I'm a lucky guy.

If it weren't for Heroes World, I wouldn't have been at the mall that night.

That's a really cool story!

I love Plaidstallions. It connected me with a part of my past I thought gone forever. For that I shall forever be in its debt.
