I wish someone around here owned some - there's like one on Carson street that I know of. Where my girlfriend bought me the complete set of Food Fighters for Valentine's Day.

Toy......Comic Shop? What's that? Sadly, the good ol' Toy & Comic Shops are what seem to be on the brink of extinction. Ebay put a hurtin' on that sorta thing, along with all those little shows you'd see now and then in the malls and hotels. I miss those. :(

What do you need to know? I might be able to help out, but unfortunately, I live in Canada but I get the newest waves whenever Diamond ships them.

I wanted to open one but bought property instead, and had to ebay off my whole inventory. And then the 25th anniversary came along.

All of you saying you wish you had one. I owned two over the past 10 years and let me be the first to tell you, "no you don't". Yes they are a blast to operate, but there is very small room for markup with Ebay around. and when gas prices soar, sales plummet. I sold both my stores about 2 years ago, and it was the best thing I ever did. I miss it a ton, but I know I would be closing right now anyways. All I ever heard from customers was how much cheaper things were online. ALL THE TIME!!! And my markup was only 30%. It takes a ton of sales to make a profit. I wish good luck to anyone that opens one in the future, and I would love to get a job running one, but I would never want to open and run one again.
