I was 10 when The Phantom Menace came out. I remember walking into Walmart and seeing the toys. I must have bought 15 that day. I was ecstatic. That was the first time I had been really excited and happy in about a year. My dad was a Federal Agent, and he was killed in a helicopter crash the summer before. I read the Episode 1 graphic novel on the way to a memorial service. Star Wars helped me get through a tough time. Thanks George Lucas!

Have you heard of Order 66 Toys? It’s in Allen TX, about 30 minutes north of Dallas. They also sell all Star Wars.

AWE-SOME!!! Thanks for sharing this video. Reminds me of the 1980s at my local store in the UK, everything was Star Wars! I miss those days.

Thanks for visiting our store! As for the Kenner line glass casing, those Are for sale. The reason behind the No pricing, is due to the fact pricing changes on those daily, so it's a head manager answer to get a pricing on those.

I applaud the efforts of your store and like the idea. However, your store is super sterile and has no life or excitement to it. No action. Just very very bland. I would stroll the Star Wars aisle in Lionel PLayworld as a kid in 1978 and Star Wars was an event. There was excitement swelling up and busting out when you hit that aisle. It was PACKED and had a life to it. We allll have opinions on how people should run their business, I understand. But take it from someone who lived it.

What a sight to behold! Excellent video, thanks for sharing!

I have been to the Holocron store in Ft. Worth where it first started years ago. Yes they are a little pricey, but at least their inventory is incredible. I still love the original classic Kenner line up. I even seen an original 12 back vinyl cape Jawa fro $50,000 w/certificate of authenticity. You can also sell/trade your collection for something you don't have. I never heard of Outlaw Moon collectables before, but I'm not from Austin, TX. I live in Midlothian. You should try Dallas Vintage Toys in Dallas, TX. They have a lot of SW from classic to present.

#1 piece of advice for a starting utuber

The force is strong with this store. Thank you for sharing this video. I have a new place to visit when I am in Austin.

I love that place. When it opened up I drove all the way from San Antonio!

I regularly go to the Fort Worth Holocron store and it is awesome to see that much Star Wars goodness in one store. I've definitely found some bargains and hard to get figures there. I didn't know they had a store in Austin as well...I'll have to visit it next time I head that way!

That place is awesome! I wish we had one in Minnesota.

What a great video. I would love to visit Holocron some day. The store you showed in the mall with the 12 backs I had to pause on that classic Kenner gold!

Thanks Luke for sharing your thoughts on these shops that sell Star Wars items. The area I live in has comic book shops, but no dedicated Star Wars shops that I have come across. I'm glad to see other parts of the country that have these shops for fans to shop from. Thanks again for sharing this information with us. I'll have to check out their website for some figures and prices. Thanks again and take care, Tom

I'm still searching for that old action fleet TIE Defender. Too bad I wasn't able to spot one here. Looks like a dreamland otherwise!

Epic place I always go to the one in Fort Worth every now and then.

Oh man.. I wish I was close to here!

I worked in a toys r us when Episode One came out. There was an entire aisle (plus some more) of Star Wars toys. The special edition trilogy had come out two years before also, so there was a lot of SW merch.

If I get to go there just once and buy every possible clone and stormtroopers there that be good enough for me

Great video! I wish there were some shops like this in the UK.

Love the location in fort worth, I normally try to get my figures from there but like you said the prices are all over the place, Still a really cool store to walk into

Literally went to this store yesterday. Absolutely loved it! Bought myself Ezra Bridger and Kit Fisto from Black series. Can't wait to go back there again!😁

This makes my inner child freak out lol great video! I need to visit "Holocron" in the future.

In 1978 I would walk up and down the Star Wars aisle in Lionel Playworld completely hypnotized until I honed in on the toy I wanted. The Star Wars aisles were impressive. Burned into my memory. Now in my 50's I watch this video and this store has none of the magic that ONE aisle had. I know I know... I was a kid then, but even the adults were excited and it was an event.

I can't help but to agree, and a lot of it is volume. It's been in continuous production since 1994, and Hasbro never gave it a chance to appreciate before shoveling out more.

The smell of Nerd would overpower even the strongest Sith Lord.

Something like this would be awesome In Australia

Great stores

I would move across the country to live next to this store.

There is a Holocron here in Ft. Worth that is just as well curatored as this store but the prices on basic black series figures that should also be at big box stores are marked up like a flippers ebay.

Looks like a lot of the more modern series of figs. I wonder if there is a store with the 2000-2010 stuff. I am talking Battle of Geonosis Jedi Army packs era. Lots of rare figs came out then.

I’m scared of what I’d become if I lived nearby.

I have 1000s of Star Wars figures I need to find new homes for. Guess I should open my own store etc

Man, Texas has the heat ❤

I could live there 4 sure.

Did they have any Landos? I can’t find lando anywhere…

They can't sell Star Wars toys at normal stores anymore, I can't imagine this store is going to last. Oddly enough, I didn't see any Hot Toys in the store, which seems to be the most reliable selling Star Wars collectibles for adult collectors.

If it was a bit closer than 14000km away, I'd be visiting every week!

Back in the 90s to mid 2000s this would have been great since you could sell the packaged toys for a pretty penny but I dont think collecting toys and especially star wars toys is worth anything other than for the nostalgia.

So, i've thought about starting collecting the black series. Should i? Is the credit collection black series darktrooper worth the 39€?

If I still collected star wars stuff I'd actually book a 14 holiday in Texas just so I could spend money there ( I live in England and good toy shops are a thing of the past ) .
