Thanks, Chris! This will work perfectly as that's the EXACT corner where we're staying :)

We'll see... I don't have too much money to throw around. About how much would I be looking at per picture, Tammy (or anyone else)?

Alas, my time in LA is severely limited - flying in and some sightseeing on Saturday, tour of the city and a beach visit on Sunday, TPIR on Monday, fly back Tuesday. It's not long, but I got a great deal on a flight ($290 round trip from Buffalo) so I really can't complain!
Maybe next time (which at this rate will be 2010...)
Thanks for your help, guys!

Matt, would you be thinking of \"Blast from the Past\" on Magnoila Blvd.? I haven't been there myself, but a few friends of mine go there quite a bit. This store specializes in TV, movie, and other pop-culture toys, games, and knicknacks. I passed by there not too long ago and saw some old Charlie's Angels posters (the TV series, not the movie) in the windows.

I don't think so, although that sounds pretty terrific as well. This is purely a used book store, and looks like one too, with narrow aisles and stacks piled up in seemingly no order at all. Its focus is books and magazines about the entertainment industry, but it doesn't look much different than the used book stores here in Michigan. As I recall, it didn't have anything in the way of toys & games or other memorabilia like that -- and I would *definitely* have noticed if they had games!
But...uh...yeah, \"Blast from the Past\" on my next trip, definitely!

It might be Book Castle's Movie World, on San Fernando Road.

Thanks, Brian, that's the place.
