I really miss those little hole in the wall stores that sold figures. There was one in my neighborhhod that closed down. When I was a kid I got my first few figures there in '82. Shortfuse, Rock 'n Roll Breaker, and Snake Eyes. Later I got my Flint there and in '77 got my 12' Luke there as well. We couldn't find it anywhere but the owner ordered one for my Mom so I would get it for Christmas. There was another store in Brooklyn called City of Famous Bargains on Coney Island Av and Avenue U. When I was 9 the guy who ran the place hooked me and my brother up with Storm Shadow. The guy watch us looking through the figures and was laughing. He said, "You're looking for the Ninja aren't you?" We nodded like gimps. He pulled two out from behind the counter and told us that he kept them back there, so some clueless kid didn't buy them. He said they were for the real fans. I don't know what ever became of him or his store but it's gone now. If he was still there I'd buy everything from him.
