I still regret not seeing this sooner… any word if there are any left overs from the sale? I’d love to find some old D&D stuff, plus some vintage calendars like you mentioned, aside from other morsels of ambiguity.

if you are truly looking for a lot of the vintage stuff like gijoes, centurions, transformers, starwars, visit shoppesville plus on the third floor, above the lotto area. there is a small shop there selling them. but be prepared for the prices.

I didn’t know you were into Dragonlance din. Remember Isabel Baladja (sp?) She got me into Dragonlance and I remember asking my mom to buy me those books at National Bookstore. Ang mahal! I haven’t been reading them lately pero I like the original trilogies that they wrote.

yah, i remember nova fontana. i didn’t even realize it was gone.

anyway, will let my son JAngelo know about this new store, nice finds–he might be able to get good buys—there were toys he wanted to have when he was a small boy!

I’m sure it’s a haven for collectors. Hope you find lots of treasures when you go there Toni. Take care!

wow! i would totally love this store! did they have any transformers?! your dragonlance finds sound so cool (you should take a picture). glad you were able to sift through the treasures.

p.s. i put clips of my band performing on youtube. i put a few up on a blog (april 26 post), or you can look them up under “plastiq passion”
