The Human Adventure is Just Beginning...
Today is Farpoint …It’s a Toy Store’s Grand
Opening. Last night was the Black Tie,
Preview Party. Two TITANS are joining
forces on this adventure: Farpoint Toys and It’s A Toy Store. Between them are decades of experience in
doing what they do.
“Toys?”
Yes, there are toys, lest there be no doubt – oodles of ‘em!
Oodles, I say!
However, what Justin, Penelope, and Frank
(Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman of their new founded Justice League) do
goes far beyond going to a Toys-R-Us. …No,
they are curators. Obtainers of rare
antiquities. Keepers of memories and mementos. They are story tellers and story keepers. Community builders who want to share their
love of genre with others who share their love of genre. Simply put, they are fans. The wonderful thing about the new digs is
that it is also a meeting place for fans & soon to be fans to come, to discuss,
to have a cup of coffee, and to bask in the communal glow of shared memories
and stories. Yes, it’s a toy store – but
Farpoint …It’s A Toy Store is much, much more.
BTW, that's an original Ken Kelly in the corner.
There is a quote from the film, “Serenity” where River
Tam asks Captain Mal Reynolds about what the first rule of flying is. Mal’s answer is on point for Farpoint. He said, “Love. You can learn all the math in
the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake
you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air
when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a
home.”
Welcome home.
Today Farpoint …It’s A Toy Store officially opens! Farpoint can be found at these coordinates; 5113 Harding Hwy., Mays Landing, NJ, on Twitter, and on Facebook.
Excelsior!
