Way back in July, I was invited to my hometown of Arlington Heights by the local museum to present a class at a kids summer art camp, featuring the drawings I did of my hometown when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. I spent about four days in town even though my presentation only lasted two hours. I had plenty of time to check out the local toy stores.
First up was Geek Toys Hut. Second was Turbo Toyz. I was kind of in a hurry so didn't purchase anything from Geek Toy Hut or take any photos. It was a nice big store with plenty for everyone. Turbo Toyz was a little smaller but still had a great selection. On day 1, I only purchased a few vintage Kenner Star Wars figures, including a small head Han Solo, which I had never had before.
Oh yeah, the museum where I did my presentation also had a small section of toys - mostly vintage dolls and doll houses.
That seems like a pretty neat thing to be invited to do. How did your presentation go?
ReplyDeleteThat brick building is insane! Love that! Also, the prices on those Star Wars figures don't seem so bad.
