I'll soon be posting some contact numers of stores i visited in LA and some pics i wasnt able to post in the other site.

Can i ask you guys for help? i'm leaving for NY soon for hospital interviews and while i'll be focused on this important task (papogi and pa impress) i'll try to sneak in some toy hunting.

Any info on NY toy shops and Chicago Toyshops will be much appreciated.

I might also go to New Jersey and Conneticut and Massachussetts (pls pardon me if i spelled it wrong) as well as Michigan

bro jujuman hope u include toy stores at texas.. hehehe.

thanks bro!!

I dont think i'll be able to go to Texas this year - no more money plus no interview there huhuhuhu.

Finally found time...

Here's one of the stores i visited in Glendale, California. Its a big comic book store called Legacy comics...






Besides the usual current and old releases they have lots of vintage comics...














They cater to all types of collectors:


Cards




Heroclix






Statues









Toys






Anime






i'll post the contact info soon as well as some more pics of Frank and sons

Jujuman out

Nice pics Mike. Will be waiting for the pics of Frank and Son's. I took your advice and tried sending my sis and brother in law there. At first they could not find it but were able to go to industrial city and a couple of big toystores in the LA area. My sis was lucky enough to have met a couple of collectors at TRU and they pointed out where Frank and son's was and were even willing to take them there. However, since its only open on Wednesday's and Saturdays, my sis and bro could not go since they were leaving on sat am and found out about the place only on Thursday. The irony of it all is that its the approximately the same distance, according to my bro, from where they stayed as it is from valleverde to greenhills. Maybe next time

Hi joey i'm here na in NY at my dad's friends place - i'll probably get to the toy hunt after my interviews are done. Its so cold here
Sorry to hear that your sister had a hard time finding F and S. If i have time i'll fly to LA and just buy the stuff i need there hehehe but i doubt it

hey Dok Mike...hows the flight? just get the interview over with and come back here

HI Ken! The flight was exhausting over 18 hours - at least i saw a lot of pretty flight attendants in Nagoya (kaso walang "Nagoyo" hahahahahaha my nihongo is atrocious).

I'm going to visit TRU in Carl Place NY tom here in Long Island during a lunch out

Don't forget to visit TRU at Times Square

I'll do that Ziggy Thanks!!


Just recently I visited 3 TRUs here in Brooklyn and one target ( after my interview)

I have pics on my camera phone but the computer i'm using doesnt have an IR port

Anyway i found the ff:

TF:

Metroplex
Optimus Primal and Megatron 2 pack
Dinobot
Rattrap
they also have a best value pack with 3 figures i couldnt remember the names
though
They still have lots of TF classics wave 1 as well

Mattel

Variant Superman and Supergirl ( got one for myself) Target
doomsday 6 pack
13 inch supes and bats (30$)
Batman animated 3 packs (clay face ventriliquist freeze) its the 6 pack
divided into 2 sets

SW

Imperial shuttle x 5 at target ( got one for my friend Bubi)
no SW saga wave 8 and 9 though


ML

Lots of ML 14 no variants
ML 15 a complete set at Bayview NY

Nothing like a good toy run to relieve the post-interview stress disorder

Great to see you back on the boards, Mike.

Hope all interviews go well.

Are these still $30 apiece? Or did you mean you got both for $30? If it's the latter - I'm gonna have to get those

Hi Mike,

Any idea on the price of this two-pack? Thanks!

Thanks Peter! RE the Mattel 13 inchers its 30 $ a piece! I hope they go on sale by Xmas TRU is literally overflowing with them.

BTW if you need a Thor buster lmk Peter! TRU Bayview will have a delivery tom i'm going there before i go to Penn Station

Protoform i'll check the prices tom unfortunately ill be going to Albany (upstate NY) tom (visit my fiancee) and then straight to Midway airport in Chicago for more interviews and i'll be back in NY by DEc 15.

Thanks for the info, Mike. I'll hold off and wait for a Christmas sale. $30 for one of those is a little on the high side for me. Pat is actually looking out for those for me as well. Here's hoping for a holiday offer to come around next month

Thanks, too, for the Thor Buster IM offer. I'll take a pass on your good offer for now since my CSC preorder might come through.
