I was actually there on Sunday. There were a lot of people set up outside that I rarely see. One guy was selling a GI Joe board game from the 80's/90's still new in the box! But, that was about all that I saw from the new folks. If you're referring to Keith who usually sets up near the Kettle corn stand he was there. He didn't seem to have as much Joe as usual and I'm not sure if it's because it was Sunday or what. He said that he's only been back there on his "spring season" for about three weeks. He's by far my fav too. He's always got better prices than most. I did not go inside this particular trip.

Have you been to Stuff N Such (in the South Hills Plaza) off of Buck Jones Road? I stopped by there after the flea market and they seemed to have a semi-updated Joe selection that wasn't too shabby. Maybe they just cleaned up but it's still a cool store if you've never been.

I have been to and do like Stuff n Such, just haven't been in a long time. I talked to the old guy who runs it just last year and was glad to hear he dodged some health issues. I need to get back and check in.

I haven't seen him in a while. There's a much younger crowd that's typically running the show these days. I'm sure he's still apart of it, but he might be doing less for his health. This past weekend when my mother and my wife purchased some things every penny of it went to charity. It made us feel really good about our purchases. I appreciate any business that will do something like that.

I hope the older guy is doing well. If not, he's got a great team that seems to be running things these days. They've even started some sort of video game playing room. I assume you buy time to play games and they hook you up and let you play. It's a good idea. I think it will help them a lot. He's always told me that the toy part doesn't keep them afloat but I really appreciate that they still deal in toys.

Not familiar with Charlotte area, but if you make it to the Wilmington area, Memory Lane comics has a large toy selection, both loose and carded. Mostly carded though. Make sure you go to HeroesCon in June and there will probably be dealers there with loose figures. If you go, stop by Tom Fleming's booth. I'll probably be there helping him.

Welcome to NC Fireintheocean! I'm not extremely familiar with the Charlotte area but there is a traveling toy and collectibles show coming to your town this weekend which you might have some luck at. I'm in Raleigh and I've been to this show in both Greensboro and Raleigh and there's almost always some loose Joes floating around. If you an't make it this weekend they usually make a stop once every three or four months. You can find more info below:

Show Schedule


Also, I know of a great comic book shop in Charlotte that sells toys. I just can't remember the name. I visited them a couple of years ago.. Their shop is a little hard to find but they had a HUGE selection of toys and comics. I wish I could remember their name or find them on Google.. I hope they're still in business!

You're probably thinking of Rebel Base on Sharon Amity near Providence. There's also a great new store in Pineville that specializes in just toys. It's called Retro Reboot. The owner is very helpful and friendly. They have a lot of Joe figures loose and carded.
