Activate interlocks, dynatherms connected, infra cells up, mega-thrusters are go!

Az over at GaijinSmash.net got me thinking about Voltron with his most recent (and most excellent) post... but that's not what started it. About two weeks ago, a bunch of us set out to find an elusive toy store, hidden away from Human World. One of our party had stumbled on it as if in a waking dream, and promptly forgot the way there - yet we pushed on. After hiring a band of Gypsies to guide us through the Mists into otherworldly Spanaway, WA, we found it: the Toy Stable. It's an actual stable. They have horses.

They ALSO have nearly every "boy" toy you can remember from the 70s, 80s and even the early 90s: Sectaurs, Inhumanoids, He-Man, G.I.Joe, TMNT, Star Wars... the list goes on. They have action figures from M.A.S.H., M.A.S.K., Clash of the Titans(!!) etc. However, what caught my eye was a complete Vehicle Voltron AND a complete Lion Voltron in it's original box! Well, I also found the complete Devastator and realized that I would leave there either $400.00 poorer and very much satisfied, or I would do the right thing and save that money for our upcoming trip to Japan. Japan wins, but not by much - I've wanted Lion Voltron since I was 5 years old.

Maybe if Christmas Fish reads this post I'll get a special gift in my water sock! What?!
