Toronto POTJ in Canada

ATTank?! At last!

Yippee!

 

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your toy leads. You have already
saved me alot of money and I have also made
friends with the guys at Conspiracy Comics.
Their store on Guelph line is only 5 minutes
away from where I live. Is there anything
that you are still looking for...

Mike

 

Hi Yoda,

I hope you found your way here.
What figures are you currently looking
for.

Mike

 

Crazy Mike,

in another thread you claim to be old and have to work ALL day.

So just HOW old, and if you live right on Brant, we should chance to meet sometime, I'm usually through Conspiracy on wednesdays, and i actually work at the BAC.

email me if you wanna gab more offthread.

Hi Chris,

Actually I will be 36 in May. I live in the
Uppermiddle Burloak area on the north west
corner where all those new homes are being
built. We should get together. Maybe we can
plan something for the March 17th weekend. Hey Shmi and Tragic are you guys available that weekend too...

Mike

 

The 17th is my sister's bridal shower so I'm afraid we're booked for that day... (not sure about the evening). As for the Sunday - that's up to the boss.

 

Oh, Oh! I get to be this boss! Sigh* Basking in the boss glow.
Sunday sounds good if you two are available. Tragic discovered this excellent fish and chip place called The Thistle off Walker's line if your hungry after. Just pick a time and we'll meet.

 

Sorry Shmi and Chris. I forgot to check with
the boss as we are having people over for
lunch and dinner on Saturday.

PS.
What happened to Yoda...


Mike

 

Has anyone seen the Gungan Warrior figure
anywhere....

 

Hmmh...she's lucky. The only reason I get to be the boss is because I have the vehicle to get us there!

We're busy saturday too. (It's wedding season, no it's rabbit season...)I realized after I posted that a small comic book store may not be open on Sunday. We could try for Sunday, if either of you could confirm it is definitely open. Would Sunday be any better for you?

 

Actually Sunday is not looking good either.
Do you feel like coming by on Friday night?

 

Um, I wasn't thinking anything fancy or formal, just kinda a oh, hey, nice to have a face.

And the Connection isn't exactly a come from outa town kinda place, just kinda handy for locals looking.

Oh, and Mike, thanks, as a 29er looking down the barrel of 30, you made me feel a bit better.

Chris

 

"I see old people."

Actually - Friday doesn't pan out for us either as the boss is on night shifts this week.

 

Thank you Chris......I think...

I believe that I am still the oldest one on
this particular forum. It is hard to believe
that when EP III comes out in 4 years, I will
be turning 40. That is presuming that EP III is released May18ish.

Very Scary !!!

Actually maybe I should not think about that
one.

 

Nostalgic Investments in St. Catharines has alot of stuff if you want to make the trip. They get all there stuff from the U.S. so the figures have the numbers on the back (.00 or .01) if your a collector. They will be donating to our charity event slated for the Episode II opening. Here is the address:
Nostalgic Investments Inc.
282 Geneva St.
St. Catharines
1-905-646-8161
My last purchace was the Naboo Royal Starship for $50.00

 

How are their prices?

What range of items do they have? Old / new?

Details man!

 

Holy [insert anyword here] Mike, I knew you were old, but old to me is around 26! Geez, that means you were 'old' the original time around

 

They have the POTJ line in now $12.95 for the figues. Plus they have some 12 inch figures too, 100th Luke($?), Vader and Maul($?), Bounty Hunters ($ around 40). Not alot of Episode I mostly POTJ. He does alot of business so stuff moves in and out fast.

 

JediWarrior... wait... I'm 28.... so I'm over the hill by your books?

ack...

 

Well, you're at the point where I wouldn't find it *shocking* that you've retained youor fandom, but this guy...*points at mike* He deserves a lifetime achievement award or something!

 

I'm 29, that can't be over the hill. I have no kids and have my own SW toys. your as old as you feel inside. So that would make me 17.

 

Yes, I was 12 when Star Wars came out and 18 when Jedi was released. Little did I know back then that it would be 17 years until the next movie came out. Like I have said
before and to the media back when EP1 came out, all of my so called friends that I grew up with and said that they would be there with me for EP1 have dropped off the face of the earth. They never even returned my calls around the time EP1 came out. Get this, these are not guys that have been able to
hold down a decent job and are married with kids, they are my age and are still living with their parents. I am the guy who has been married for 8 years, has been in an IT job for 15 years, and has a morgage. But I never lost my passion for Star Wars. It has only gotten bigger over the years. Of course
much of it goes to all of you out there that I email, talk to on the phone, and who come by my place. Sorry about the rant folks but I had a dream last night of being in line for Empire in 1980 and it brought this rant to the surface once again.....anyways I thought that the people that are new to the forum would like to hear my story.

sorry to get off topic there,

So they have the 12" bounty hunters out where you are Chris ( Jedi Niagara) actually Bertramtalespinner is Chris too.
I am still looking for 12" 4-Lom and IG88
but I have had no luck finding them in my
home town of Burlington...

Mike

 

note to self, Crazy Mike is looking for 4-Lom and IG-88...

Went a little crazy last Friday and did a high speed border crossing. Target sucked, Big K netted me a lego skiff for 3.00 and I was really starting to doubt all this WE'VE got better stuff in the US, until I found a KB in the outlet mall.

OUCH! $49.00 US later!

Got the Jabba dancers and skiff guards cinema scenes, snowtrooper with e-web and assorted POTF figures. Not much in terms of POTJ though, places there looked like HELLMART here.

 

Well, I'm 28 too. Umm... as of.. well, Monday. ;P

So, you think that they'll be locking me away for wearing trooper 'gear?

 

well, it probably wouldn't be JUST for wearing the trooper gear. I do recall a disturbing picture with a white teddy bear.
