      Brue, which shop in Columbus do you go to? I am over in Springfield and make a comic shop tour of Columbus 2-3 times a year to check things out, but I don't think I know all the shops in the area yet (it's usually Packrat, World's Greatest Comics, Comic Town, Laughing Ogre and the one in the food court of the convention center whose name I can never remember, but I go there whenever I do the Origins game fair at the convention center. Plus usually Acorn Books (but they are going out of business). I just stopped into Packrat this past weekend when I was hitting a bunch of the Half Price books, but I haven't been to any of the others in a while, since I lost most of last year recovering from surgery.

        I knew I should’ve rented a car.

              I rarely go into a comic shop these days. But when I do it is Laughing Ogre. They are near my house, have toys, occasional events, back issues and good people.
              I bought a lot of 80's comics at Half Price books in the 90's.

                good question. you'll have to go to all of them. I doubt it, but maybe I can find a friend with a connection.

                  I have been to your local Lego Store, so I know my daughter is good if the whole family comes.

                      Yeah, and the place is always busy. They have stuff that isn't found in other stores, probably more so now that TRU is going away. The bulk wall is always a winner for us.

                          Like every Mego Meet, I'll need to know where the red light district is and the nearest Singer Sewing Center.

                              You can merge the two by going to Short North.
