JTA reader Chris C. was so haunted by our tale yesterday that he felt compelled to write in with some good news to change the pace of things a bit. Click through for his recent store find!
Hi Paul,
After reading Darth Eddie's disturbing article, I wanted to provide a little good news on the collecting front and hopefully provide a "A New Hope" to fellow collectors. I attended a retirement party in Springfield, Il this evening and on my way home I thought I would check the Target just off the interstate which I was sure would be a futile attempt at collecting. I had given up hope of EVER finding the Darth Malgus that has eluded me for the past year and instead focused on picking up some of the Movie Heroes. When I rounded the aisle I saw the familiar peg warmers; Episode One VC, Clone Wars, etc. I thought about walking away but instead did the "slide to the side" move and found, yes, wait for it...Darth Malgus and the Imperial Navy Commander!!! I couldn't believe it.
Its just gets better...Back on the road I pass a K Mart and stopped in to see if the AT-ST crew was somewhere to be found...and yes, it was.
So, a better collecting night in Illinois and I hope the folks in Florida have better luck soon. What a shame.
Chris
