Title: Not so long ago, in a store far, far away...
Post by: fatlilryan on September 15, 2011, 04:52:10 PM

Carol and I were on our way up to Forks, WA earlier this summer. We happened to stop in Aberdeen, WA for a bite to eat and noticed the side of a building painted in a Star Wars theme...

We went around the corner and saw...

They happened to be closed, but we grabbed a few pics through the windows...

If you ever find yourself in Aberdeen, you should definitely check this place out! We stopped back by on our way home and they were open this time. There was soooo much stuff I could hardly take it all in!! I bet you could spend a few hours in there and still not be able to take it all in...

I was there a few weeks back---you're right, you need at least a couple hours to explore. 

Came out with an old hoth set (turrets, tauntauns, probe droid), and two action figure cases, one almost as old as I am with intact clips!

I certainly plan to return with a few $$$---daddy needs some new (old) toys!
