it's kind of a heart breaker to see malls go extinct by the time this video been posted for 3 to 15 years that mall might be gone. feels like walking in a vaporwave album or an ancient tomb but at lest you got some treasures along the way

This is at the Chesterfield Mall which like in 2016 was dying but it had some many geeky stores in it. I was visiting St Louis for work and went to all the comic and arcades shop every night. I told the tale of this mall for years until I meet my now wife who is from St Louis and she groans every time I talk about the place as if it’s the only thing cool in St Louis.

I was into Gijoe Extreme at the time, mostly because I liked figures with clip on armor pieces like toybiz Ironman, and they did a bunch of that with gijoe extreme. Rock N Roll and Sgt Savage being my favorites. Recently got a loose Freight for 1.00 with his punching action. Just getting Skar is good as a curiousity. He's an Alternate villainous leader instead of Cobra Commander and Serpentor all the time. I think he made an appearance in the gijoe collectors club magazine since he's a deep cut reference for the fans. Excellent 2003 Ninja Turtles find. I really want the Fugitoid from that series and there he was for 1.99 unheard of these days with stores having easy access to pricing apps and following ebay market prices daily.

Very cool. I'm hoping that Playmates re-releases the old 2003 series figures & they even do 6 inch Classic variations, which I picture just using the Mirage comic bodies (with the brown belts, pads & wraps, but change the color of the skin tone) but with the movie heads (again change the skin tone to match & also white eyes without pupils) & the 1987 weapons & holsters. I'm also hoping that NECA & The Loyal Subjects jump onto the bandwagon & do their own 2003 series figures. I grew up on the 1987 series, but I got back into TMNT when I was a Senior in high school & the 2003 animated series was still fairly new (like late 1st season or 2nd season) & I played that series' 1st game. Are you excited about the 2003 series finally getting a DVD release? I know I am & I'm gonna put it next to the 1987 complete series I already have. I would like to get some 2003 series & 2007 movie figures in the meantime, but they're usually missing their belts and/or their primary weapons, so that's kind of a deal breaker for me. I did get a basic 2007 Raphael with the belt (but it didn't have the Sais) loose at toy show last October & I am hoping to find the proper Sais & even the other 3 turtles with their belts & primary weapons. I've been checking eBay, but so far...
