Eternia Dreams Vintage Toy Store - Taneytown, Maryland

Not sure how I came across this on Facebook,...I suppose everything we do is tracked on the internet, but that's cool. Anyway, Eternia Dreams Toys and Collectibles popped up on my radar a few days ago. Managed to have some time this weekend to check it out - about an hour trip.

I arrived Sunday morning as it opened at 11am. I almost missed it because the store is pushed back just a bit between two other buildings on the main street of Taneytown. I pulled in and there were already about 5 people there.

The front section contained mostly loose GI Joes and some counters, along with an extension that housed Funko Pops.  At first I thought, is that it, but then I saw the back room....holy smokes. It was like walking into a Toys R Us/Kaybee back in the 90s and 2000s. Aisles were filled to the max with carded and packaged figures. Plenty of loose figures from the 80s as well, mostly He-Man and Ninja Turtles, but a nice little section of loose Kenner Star Wars as well.

Prices were very fair. I left with a few loose GI Joe vehicles from 1982 and 1983.

I will definitely be going back there.

 

Happy 4th of July from GI Joe

Happy 4th everyone. And nothing is more American than GI Joe. Here are the unpackaged figures of the first wave of new 6 inch Classified Series.

Overall, happy they stayed with the original costume. Don't mind the gold armor around the legs to jazz it up a bit. Oh well. Only thing I didn't like was Roadblock's futuristic gun. A 50 cal would have been awesome.
