Hey guys, im not sure if this is the correct thread for this but here goes. Im going to be travelling to the States next year for the first time ever in a search for Joe collectables but i have no idea where to look. Im after the usual stuff like figures and vehicles and, if possible, some of the classic stuff from the 80's and 90's too. I may be going to either Philadelphia (Eagles fan you see), or Seattle (always wanted to go there, that plus my girl is a Seahawks fan). So i was wondering what kinds of shops to look out for, if anyone can give me some pointers i would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.

If you want to be treated like crap go to Philly. If you like rain and homeless teenagers go to Seattle. I would suggest becoming a Miami Dolphins fan.

Ther are a couple of toyshops in Philly that sell Joes. When you go, give me an address of the Hotel you are staying at. I will get you directions to those toyshops. I am not far from Philly myself.

I've always had a lot of luck with toys in New England. MA, CT, RI, all seem to turn up more at their shops and flea markets than any other places I've tried. Must be all the basements and attics.

Thanks alot guys. I appreciate your help. I have about 8 months to decide. It sucks so hard living in the UK when all the collectables i want can only be found in the U.S., i would use sites like Ebay but i dont trust the internet when it comes to money (i got screwed once).
