Well there was some Hisstank memebers who have posted topics regarding the old and Great Children's Palace. Now maybe it's because I am in a nostalgia mode or because a cool Hisstank memeber sent me some pictures of an old CP building in their town.
Seeing those pictures reminded me of the good days of toy collecting. You could beg your parents to take you there and Children's Palace always had what you were looking for and then some. Well looking at those pictures got me thinking. How cool would it be if there was a toy show set up inside an old Children's Palace building. I know I am probably thinking about the good ol' days too much but hear me out. Instead of going to a toy show and walking around looking at vendors table full of kick ass toys you could "shop" at CP. Lets say there is an old CP building in someones city. You call up the owner ask to rent the building space for a few hours then you transform this empty building into a trip down memory lane. Instead of vendors setting up 6'-8' tables you could bring in old shelving racks. I've seen stores go out of business and you could get 6' wide shelving for like $10 and metal "j" hooks for .25 a piece. So vendors could line the pegs full of their MOC items from Vintage Joes, Star Wars, Transformers, TMNT, MOTU, etc. How fun would it be to walk down the aisles again and see these toys in the package just like old times "Children's Palace.. a super toy store, and a whole lot more!"
