Where is Big Pete now? They moved due to condo development in the Lonsdale & 3rd St area.

They moved across the street, back to the same side they were long ago. The new shop is in a bigger location, then previously.

Speaking of comic shops, the North Van Comic Scene is now officially closed, and Francis, the owner moved the remaining stock to the Surrey store, which is now the main focus for them. He was giving some crazy deals right before moving. Picked up a ton of art books, new and old for 50% off. He also apparently auctioned off tons of his old statues. I'm going to miss that over packed store. It was basically a treasure hunt every time going in finding things.

Retro and Relevant Update!

We are THREE days away! We'll have 43 tables full of awesome toys and collectibles. Haven't decided if your going to show up or not? Well, this is the biggest RnR show yet! How so? All the tables are dedicated to vendors, selling toys and collectibles. And we have everything from a great selection of all types of Transformers (G1 to movie, plus 3rd party), and all your other favourite toy lines with toys from the 80's to their newer modern versions.

Admission is only $5, and we are donating $2 of that to BC Children's Hospital Foundation! And kids 13 and under get in free! The show starts at 11:00am, and runs until 3:30pm. The next RNR won't be until June 2015, so don't miss this Sunday's show, or else it will be a looooong wait!

Sorry to hear you can't make it.

RNR4 will be June 14th, so you got some time to clear your schedule.

R&R was awesome! saw a lot of old faces that I haven't seen in a while. Good times and great toys. Too bad I didn't get that diaclone swoop lol.
