There is a little comic/toy store called Sweet Lou's in Millington. I have been there a few times over the last few years. I was always amazed by the old toys he had the times I had been there in the past.
Since I started collecting modern joes, I wanted to see what he had again. As far as current stuff, he had a few POC figures (Recondo, Dusty, arctic Destro, swivel kick Snake Eyes) a dozen or so 25th figures (I can't recall them all) and comic packs, some 25th vehicle sets, Some other early 2000s figs, and a lot of loose vintage stuff.
He also has a loose Flagg. Out of curiosity, I asked him the price. He said if someone were to come in with cash, he'd let it go for $575. He said it was complete except for one missing railing.
He checks ebay for prices, so I wouldn't expect amazing deals. His store is also becoming cluttered (to put it very kindly). It can be hard to move around. But if you are looking for vintage stuff, he has a lot, including Star Wars, He-Man, and the like. It almost feels like a museum looking at the vintage stuff he has.
This store use to be my secret, i swear i mentioned it to one tanker and within a month all his stuff got bought out, i was actually kind of mad about it as i didnt know he was going to let everything go like that, lou always trys to charge top dollar no matter the condition of his stuff. Ive told him numerous times that if he is going to ask full price then he needs to clean his stuff up, he really doesnt understand the differance between mint and beat up, seems like no matter the condition, he wants whatever the highest ticket on ebay is.
He is a alright guy but he has terrible negotiating skills and it can become very frustrating trying to make a deal with him. He use to have most of the night force vehicles like the night ray and night boomer but some aholes came in and bought it all. lou was asking such high prices i never thought it would sell, guess i should of pulled the trigger. Another thing about lou's store is it is a effin mess, he has shit everywhere and you really have to bug him to get him to dig it out for you. Ive gone thrugh so many boxes in his store and found gems just hidden away, he has a insane amount of stuff but you could spend hours in that place and still be mind fu*ked.
