[drackliffe]

I'm heading to NY city @ the end of the month and may have some time to hit some stores looking for Transformers. Any recommendations for stores to check out????????

 

Thanks

Don't waste your time.

 

That's my suggestion.

Let's see....

 

TRU in Times Square - It's cool as a tourist thing, but nothing new really there toywise.

 

ImageAnime on 30th between 7th and 6th Ave - Cool little shop. Check their website to see what they got. They have a nice Tf display up front.....but it's near MSG, so it could be crowded down there with Republicans.

 

Toy Tokyo on 2nd Ave near St. Marks Place - Very cool shop with tons of stuff, especially urban vinyl and starwars. some TFs. Great place just to see things. again check the website.

 

KidRobot in Soho - Cool for Kubricks and vinyl. The website has directions.

cool shops but prices that will rape your wallet and not call it the next day.

But if that sounds fun, try looking around Elizabeth Street, just north of Canal Street near a police station.

All this NYC talk makes me want to make the trip. Now. Right now.

 

Who's up for a tri-state TNI get-together in NYC? I think it would be a blast. Picture a fairly-sized horde of toy nuts scouring the shops for goodies. Makes me wanna cry.

[drackliffe]

Thanks for all the advise. I'll let you know how I made out when I get back....

Not really Pogoman. Chinatown prices aren't as bad in the basement. Those are much MUCH cheaper in imageanime. Believe me. The only store that rapes you in price in that import store next to that mall.

 

$75 for a Armada Galvatron!

$40 for Red Alert!?

WTF!?? @grumpy@

I've been to the Elizabeth Street basement, I haven't seen anything cheap there yet.

 

however' I haven't shop around for anything energon so the difference may lay there.

Royal, they probably don't get the best prices regarding TFs. There might be some higher than usual mark-ups, but the bottom line is probably that if they pay more, you pay more. And in Chinatown, it's compete or die.

 

And you live in NYC so you know rent is no joke.

@loll@ @loll@ Yup, I agree.

 

Otherwise, GTA list should do the trick.

[pogoman]

oh yeah no doubt...Image Anime will rip me a new one that's for sure.

[RoyalZarak]

Good to see the old gang here posting. Nice to see you GTA and Remy!

 

8speed: OH i agree NYC store rent is crazy. BTW I love that sig. LOL!
