Spider-Man with sandwich board guarding Boom!

I was glad to see this collectible shop in Ayr’s Fullarton Street survived the pandemic lockdown.

Looking back, although I never went in (just window shopped, lest I spend too much if I ever ventured in), I recall it looked quite busy. But, after the enforced absence, when I got back, it looked as if the place was derelict, and always seemed to be closed when I got near. Brings back memories of struggling for restraint whenever I got near the dealer stands at Science Fiction conventions.

Happily, that just seem to have been down to the time I was nearby, and the shop’s opening hours. Sadly, it seems these seldom coincide for me.

I got lucky when I had to head for home early recently, and spotted the place open as the bus left the station – the bus got stuck in traffic from the adjacent roundabout, and I (finally) got a pic.

The Spider-Man plate

Looks like someone in the US noticed my ‘return’, and new blog theme, and pointed a camera at this cure vanity plate for me.

Still more a fan of the original comic Spider-Man than later ‘reimaginings’ or films, I had to think of J Jonah Jameson when this one appeared :-)

There haven’t been any good ones recently, although I have a few in backlog that I should dump down to clear off.
