I heard they are reopening in NYC. Since Target and Walmart are currently the only games in town, do you think they can carry some Joe exclusives?

Unless they have competitive prices, they're instantly doomed. I remember going to the one in Boston during 2002 or 2003? They had all the same stuff you could buy elsewhere. I was looking at G-Gundam, Joe vs Cobra, Transformers Armada, Hot Wheels, and Lego Bionicles. The only difference was they had some of the rarer figures on the shelves from these lines (like G Gundam) because nobody wanted to pay higher prices for them. However, they also had a lot of older wave figures(Transformers Armada, Joe vs. Cobra) because, due to their higher prices, they weren't selling and allowing newer waves to be stocked. I remember wanting to buy the Joe vs. Cobra repaint 2-pack of tan Duke and black/red Cobra Commander, but I passed because it was double the price of what I could buy it for at my local KB Toys. The only cool exclusive thing they had at that Boston store was the Perfect Grade Gundam RX-78 model kit. And even that was more expensive than what I could buy it for online. I don't think I bought anything from that store that day.

yes, they were high but had every toy imaginable. I used to go to NYC all the time and go to FAO. I remember after scoring the space alien wave in 94 at caldor for $2.99, I drove to the city and was at fao and they had 100s and 100s of them on the pegs but the were asking $5.99! I thought to myself "Im going to see these figures everywhere soon!" much to my shagrin, I was totally wrong!
