Mystery solved: my unfriendly neigborhood KMart does not distribute the advertisement circulars, and will only honor the ad if one is brought in.

Thanks in advance, New Yorkers and other knowledgeable gents (and ladies)! D

Indiana Jones figures cheap!
"Big D Store" in Manhattan on 14th Street near 6th Ave has Indiana Jones Walmart 3 packs, Temple Trap and Indy with Horse set, each for $6 ea. ADDITION: Also went to Toy Tokyo over the weekend, and they still have: a) FOREIGN (I'm guessing Japanes?) comic packs, in a special display case, with price tags in the hundreads: Dreadnok with comic, mip, maybe $125, Destro with comic more than that, each asian, and others. b) VvV cobra set, Viper pit set, more recent multipacks, all evenly about $45, I think. Also some 25th carded figs. c) Toys from other lines, including Star Wars, some old or unusual and priced accordingly.

Several suggestions:
Toy Tokyo, second avenue and seventh street, is probably the most inteeresting. When I was there the otehr day they had a bunch of stuff, including Valor V Venom multipacks for like $40, 25th figs for $15, and, a separate special display of GI Joe FOREIGN comic packs for a hundred bucks or more each. Most of the store is devoted to various other action figures, more 12 inch, but all sizes. But they do also have a variety of Star Wars figures, including some expensive or weird ones. Well worth a look. St. Marks Comics is a very short walk away. Not as dramatic, but some non-current figures as well as current ones and, of course, comics, including a large selection of old ones. Forbidden Planet is maybe less than 1/4 mile from there: expensive but fairly nice range of current action figure or sci-fi toys and wide range of current comics. (not many old ones anymore though). Then there's Toys R Us at Times Square which has the joe figures in an area behind their HUGE, growling, life-sized, Tyranossaurus Rex. ...

Toy Tokyo is the best, but you won't find too many bargains there. In addition to St. Marks comics, you might want to check out some of the other comic shops, particularly Forbidden Planet (a little north, at 13th and Broadway), Jim Hanleys' Universe (across from the Empire State Building on 33rd street) and Midtown Comics (just south of Times Square at 40th street and ... sixth avenue, I think). Honestly, though, toy collecting in New York is hard, with hardly any toy store and, like, a million people you're in competition with. Most collectors I know go the online route for the bulk of their stuff, but sometimes you find some gems. Basically, if you see a comic shop, go in. You never know what you'll find.
