CorPse Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 [image Attached] I've mentioned the Game Store that Time Forgot a couple of times... This time I took my camera, as you can see there's a grab bag of older Hero books of all kinds. All the stuff looks new, but it seems to have it's original '80s prices. The owner seems willing to do mail order if you give an exact product number. I think Derek Hiemforth is the owner of a complete list of Hero stuff, so you should be able to co-ordinate that with the image if you want something. Here's the store info... keep in mind that I'm not affiliated with it in any way and would be happy to edit this post if it violates board policy...

CorPse Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found Do they have an e-mail? I had to dig it up from their business card, but here's the email. Not sure if it's case sensitive, tho I doubt it: AMEAGLES@IX.NETCOM.COM Come to think of it, does Netcom still exist? Someone let me know if the address works and I'll add it to the listing above... Here's a fax # for them: 206.363.6569 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a fax # for them: 206.363.6569 It wouldn't be case sensitive, but ix.netcom.com went away quite some time ago. And the old website shows a different inactive email. Did a little google and found they used to have a website: americaneagleshobbies.com, but it doesn't exist anymore. Last time wayback got it was 9/11/2006 Via the wayback machine, we find that there is a Tahoma store. 5413 South Tacoma Way Tacoma, WA 98409 And here's the old About us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorPse Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found Yeah... I'm not surprised. AmEagles is having a sale on the 15th, so I can ask about the email then. Or I'd be happy to Rep someone who calls the store tomorrow and solves the mystery!

gojira Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found I have a few of those. But I sure could use a few more. Why doesn't this guy have an ebay store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorPse Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found I have a few of those. But I sure could use a few more. Why doesn't this guy have an ebay store? Well, I think that he's a lot more into the model/mini side of his business now. There's a lot of stock that's just been sitting there. Forever. He's a little older, too, and it may be that he just doesn't want to put in the effort to go there? But, yeah, you think an eBay store would be an ideal way for him to move the old stock out. You could work on it while things are slow in the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPMiller Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found You mentioned it had the original 80s prices. Is that what he is selling them for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what he is selling them for? Oh, yes... I saw that Champions III was going for $10. for example. On a whim I got Robot Gladiators a supplement for Robot Warriors for $6. And, as I mentioned above, the guy is having a sale on the 15th where everything is 20% off the regular price! Anybody want to visit?

lapsedgamer Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found There are some great spots for old gaming material around Seattle. I used to go to a place call Wonderworld in Burien that has since closed as retail store and switched to all online ordering. He has a lot of this older stuff. I got a great looking copy of Watchers of the Dragon from him. Dave Nelson, the owner, still does business on Amazon and I believe EBay. There is also a place on Greenwood called Gary's that had some older stuff in their used games section that looked to be in good condition. They have a web site: http://www.garysgamesandhobbies.com/ I have to make my way up to Lake City to take a look at this place. Looking at the photos, I saw some lost loves on those racks.

ArchLight Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found Thanks for reminding me they have all kinds of old stuff they never sold for all kinds of games. I will have to check it out. See if they have any of the new stuff i want (which i doubt). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found I've seen stores with a selection of older HERO stuff, but not that breadth of pre-4E material in one place for at least a dozen years. Several of the non-Champions items, like Danger International or first edition Star Hero, are particularly tough to find. Thank you, CorPse, for bringing this to our attention. The owner seems willing to do mail order if you give an exact product number. I think Derek Hiemforth is the owner of a complete list of Hero stuff' date=' so you should be able to co-ordinate that with the image if you want something.

Killer Shrike Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found Wow! That shore is purdy! I haven't seen that much vintage HERO stuff in one place before. Very cool; it would almost be a shame to break it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm, I seem to remember long ago (nearly 30 years) that American Eagles was on Greenwood, and they practically had almost anything a gamer could want.

casualplayer Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Re: Treasure Trove of Cool Old Hero/Champions Stuff That I Found That's over a thousand dollars in inventory just sitting there for a decade. This store owner must be on crack. Whatta nut. I would just offer him $200 to clear the space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
