Back from Vacation

I’m back from Vacation, did you miss me?

Special thanks to Atom, Sanjeev, Nekrodave and Eva_Unit_4A for keeping the site up and running for the week.

The family and I were vacationing down on the cape, and it seems no matter where I go for vacation, I always seem to be able to sniff out the toys.

First off I met up with Tom V (host of the second chogokin summit in ‘99) to pick up some Jumbo Machinders I had bought from him (a third version Raideen and first version Dragun). It was a cool, but brief meeting. Thanks Tom!

We found ourselves lost in the woods along 6a when we found this cool book store called the Parnassus Book Service. Taking shelter from the rain, the family and I explored this great used book store were we found some treasures. No toys here, but I found a mint copy of a Pop-Up book from Disney’s Black Hole!

Another Journey took us Through West Yarmouth where we stopped in at the Antiques center at Yarmouth. Antique co-ops like this are great places to find hidden gems, and sure enough, I found an old Mego Black Hole Maximillian for only $10.

Also – while in Yarmouth – There is a plaza along 28 that has a Christmas Tree Shop store in it. While there, go into the T-Shirt outlet store. In the back there is an arcade that time has forgotten with some great games such as Cyber Sled and Out Run.

Lastly, if you are in the mood for new toys, be sure to check out Spinnaker CD in Hyannis – in addition to a wall of cheap $2.99 CD’s, they also have a pretty good selection of new Star Wars, Transformers, and other modern toys.

Thanks to all our readers for sticking in with us. We’ve got a lot of great reviews coming up, and I’ve got a lot of news to catch up on.
