(...) I couldn't afford it, I only had about $15. If I had unlimited money, I'd be Star Wars complete. And I'm getting the Y/TIE set for Christmas too, I'll wait for reports on how similar they are. But if I can, I'll still get it for the (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.ca)

Is this the toy store in Peninsula Village on 24th Avenue?? I believe it is, and if so, something changed from the last time I went in there! It was mid March of 1999. I had been going into Zellers and TRY every day for about two weeks, looking for (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van)

Greetings Vancouver. I just wanted to share some info on a store that I lived near, in South Surrey, called Jack in the Box toys.
