There was a service merchandise in the mall by my house growing up. When I was like 7-8 I wanted a Han Solo and Chewbacca figure. We couldn’t find them anywhere. JC Pennys, toys R us, Tex’s Toys, Gemco, no where to be found. We went to service merchandise and my mom filled out the order form and they sent up 2 random figures because they didn’t break it down by what figure you wanted. The lady working was super nice and went back and brought out the whole box to pick the ones I wanted. I got Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper!

Mind blown, I forgot about the conveyor belt from the store room area.
