                This is weird, but my brother told me they have a whole bunch of EMCE figures at the local Slackers. If any of you are in Missouri or Illinois, you might want to check out your closest location. I don't know if they're ordering them in or if they're buying collections. The site shows vintage Mego Trek figures, but my brother told me he saw an EMCE Wolfman, so I'm not sure what's going on.

                    I hit the usual suspects like Target, Walmart and Meijer. They are about the only department stores that still have actual "toy" departments. We have a couple of entertainment stores around that stock a few action figures/sculpts from time to time, as well. Sadly, we have three LCSs that SHOULD stock waaay more of the cool stuff I see online, but sadly do not....

                          I have kids but they don't like action figures. :(

                          I'm the odd one out always. Anyway I look at TRUs, Target, Dollar Tree...anything that has toys. I usually eyeball everything to see if it would work with a particular scale and just admire. Rarely buy now.

                          To do list:
                          1:6 boots for Mathilda, 1:1 Romulan Commander outfit, Ursus helmet; Cornelius appliance
                          1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius;

                            I'll check out TRU and Target. I used to look at Payless, (not the shoe store, the other one), before they sold out to Rite-Aid. That's when the 12" Lanard Corps figures were out. Those would make great presents for the kids I used to babysit.

                            Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                            If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                              I forgot to mention St. Marks Comics and Forbidden Planet,
                              SMC has memos and they are fairly priced, FP has newer and more expensive stuff
