I know this strip mall well when I used to have colleagues that worked at the JBX Grill back in the early 2000s but I didn't know about the 208 until a random social media post that advertised that they had a lot of Funko Pops.
Yes. I have too many of them but I was in search of a particular one - Rogue One K-2SO Fall Convention from 2017. I was planning on getting on from eBay so that Alan Tudyk would autograph it when it comes to the Gem State Comic Con.
Back to the 208. There were a couple of guys up front, it looks like there's vendor per carved out space offering all sorts of things ranging from silverware to those souvenir bells. The Funko Pops are the back and I have to give them credit - They are stocked and displayed per theme in an organized manner.
Many of the carved out booth spaces were unattended so it was a little strange to walk into the space with no one around.
We turned right at the back of the store and ended up near the computer section. I haven't seen a collection of Netbooks since those early 2000s. Command prompts, C drives, MS-DOS speak was happening in the background and all that was missing was the Leisure Suit Larry and Scuzzy Drive references.
In the end, its a trip down memory lane, one person's trash is another's treasure and there's some interesting pieces here.
Going back to the Funko Pop, they didn't have it. No worries, Alan Tudyk cancelled so. No harm no foul. read more
