Aberdeen, WA

The store is completely packed floor to ceiling with everything you could imagine; obscure collector’s items, folk art interpretations, objets d’art, photos of people with risque Star Wars tattoos, giant model spaceships dangling from the ceiling, and must-have ’80s pop culture toys: Mr. Potato Head Yam Solo, for example.

It’s fantastic, it’s free, and the owner Don is a real delight to talk to (ask to see his tattoo of Princess Leia). He says he started the store as a project with his boys and now it’s the delight of his day to open the store and reminisce with delighted Star Wars fans.
