Thanks for the breakdown, Toys!

Tate's comics in Ft.Lauderdale is huge, the prices on most things are high but they have really good deals on some things.

A&M comics in Miami is a cluttered mess, but also my favorite he doesn't have consistent stock but he randomly buys collections and if he gets a good deal so will you, in the past I got both Cobra Island sets for $35 each and the classified and Hannibal 3 packs for $15. Last I checked he had the Armor Bot for $75 I think it's still sealed.

Also there's a thrift store on US1 and ~200th street that sold me a Defiant, a general, and a terror drome +(100 Star Wars figures and a 3 moving boxes of SW vehicles) for $250 the owner said he had more joes in a warehouse but hasn't brought them in yet. So far I sold the blue Snaggle tooth for $130 from that haul. So possibly maybe worth checking out only if your on your way to the Keys or in the area.

Lastly if anyone is interested in overpriced ROC or 25th figures message me on eBay seller: dereks_toys . 90% are $10 but I am lazy about listing those.

Toys what is the name of that thrift store?

I've been to the Man of Action brick and mortar store, Joes are few and far between, it's better to buy online from him anyway, and if you're local or in town you can even pick it up from the store and save on shipping, A&M is worse every time I go there, it looks like it should be in an episode of Hoarders, great comic selection, some vintage Joes, but take a dust mask and latex gloves with you. Tate's...never been there.

The Kendall Rosses seem to be stuck restocking those stupid Retaliation bikes.

Has anyone scored any Retaliation figures off Tuesday Morning? I always see those bikes.

Is this the thrift store next to the tattoo parlor? Or the one across the street from MOA.

[Toys1369]

Good news, I just drive by the thrift store to get the name it's: The Second Chance Store. And it's on 216th Street not 200.
The Bad news, it went out of business about a week ago.

And Ross in Cutler Bay has nothing.

Galactron, Tate's is very much worth a trip, it is very clean and Tate has a gaming miniatures store next to his Comic and Toy Store if your into that. It's kinda like MOAF but 10 times bigger 50-100 loose complete vintage Joes $8-$50, and a few racks of modern stuff. He also has a life size Terminator and a 4 foot Voltron very classy joint.

One place I left out before is the Swap Shop Flea Market in Sunrise. Eclectic collectors will get more out of it, Joe only collectors will probably just get hot. Shop outside in the back where things are tossed on the ground and take a roll of quarters because many things are 50 cents.

To anyone in the south that's tired of not finding anything good in the stores. There's a few more vendors on Sunday than Saturday
Mission Objective: Swap Shop / Tate's round trip
Mission supplies: 1 back pack, 2 bottles of H2O, 1 Hat, 1 spare shirt, 1 Antiperspirant stick, 1 roll of quarters, $67 cash, 1 bottle hand sanitizer.

Mission notes: Spare shirt and antiperspirant is to freshen up before going to Tate's. Don't be the stinky in the store.

LOL, don't be the stinky kid.

Bummer about the thrift store drove past that place 1000 times.

Dollar Store in Cutler Bay empty for months.
Dollar Store in Homestead and US1 has 1 Snake Eyes and 2 CC.
Tuesday Morning in Cutler Bay has Retaliation Bikes, nothing else.
Big lots has those PTE sets on sale. Picked up the small tent set for $6.
TRU in Cutler Bay looks promising. They expanded the Joe peg area in aisle.

Do you mean "Dollar General"? If so, I'm glad I didn't take a detour from my way to Key Largo to check out the Florida City location. Thanks for the break down and saving me a trip down there. Those bikes are going to stay forever at TM.

Too bad for that thrift store. The bright side is that it won't get stormed by all of us in a violent hunting rage. "I heard there were cheap vintage joes here, damn it! Already sold?! Don't you lie to me, man! Just tell me where they are and nobody gets hurt!".

[WildWeaselZ06]

Well folks, back in Fort Lauderdale. I'll try to have a get together here. Man, I've got way too much stuff. Lol.
