Florida Toy and Action Figure Sightings

Fr33domgundam · 08-09-2012, 07:59 AM

Hi guys!
I'm going to be in Florida around the Universal Studios area in a few weeks. I'll be visiting Orlando for a couple of days while I'm there.
Would anyone be able to recommend some cool TF/toy/hobby stores for me to hit up in that area while I'm there?
Thanks!

Well there is the the Orlando Premium Outlets mall with a Disney store and a toysrus express. They TRU there even has two separate sheets that give you directions to the two closest TRU's, each with another mall. I always go there when I'm in Orlando. Only problem is even more expensive than a reg TRU, but it IS Orlando so.....

Maybe not in bradenton but in St. Pete the Cap is pretty much the only character we have. That and Iron Man. Also plenty of super poseable spidermans.

I found the Thor series King Loki at TJ Maxx and a Hammer Drone at Marshall's. No new MU yet.

Hello everyone!
I'm in Miami for a ten days vacations with wife and baby and as I am an action figure enthusiast I was wondering which are the best places to shop, especially for the marvel universe 3-3/4 inches line. From past experiences in the USA I would say Walmart but if you have any advices on supplies, prices or availability?
For example is there any places you can find the big frost giant or galactus or are they too old?
I would love to bring some nice g.i joe vehicles as well but not sure the wife would allow me ^_^
Thank you!

JustryGT · 04-07-2013, 08:41 AM

Right now it seems to be more about timing than location. I can go to Walmart , Target , and ToysRUs a million times and there will still not be any new figures. I have not noticed Galactus anywhere recently . If you happen to pass by some of these stores then it might be fun to stop in and check but don't get your hopes up too much.
I hope you get a chance to snorkel in the Keys. That is one of my favorite vacation activities

Goldengreg · 04-08-2013, 06:46 AM

Oh thanks for the answer!
I visited 2 ross and 2 target but couldn t find any MU figures, only �* couple of old and new iron Man figs. Looks like the MU are not very well distributed...
Thanks for the advice!

Guneagle01 · 11-13-2013, 06:57 PM

So is it pretty much impossible to find the Pacific Rim figures for a reasonable price? Its seems like everywhere is sold out. I had Think Geek send me an email when they got more in, but apparently they decided to discontinue selling them. Hopefully ToysRus may get more in

The new Wal-Mart on sr54 in new tampa/wesley chapel has opened up. Nice to see a fully stocked aisle.

Tomax · 03-07-2017, 01:08 AM

why did this thread fade? good idea on this thread. Im in the Miami area also. i guess people are going to social media now for sightings. as far as updates, been looking for jim lee/cyclops and nothing, went to mid-town trgt and other walmarts and TRU, i even called Tate's up in Lauderhill,FL which is like the holy grail for figures down here in the Miami area

big hank · 07-30-2017, 02:18 PM

Found a 3.75 2 pack of Thor and Gladiator Hulk at Target in Boynton Beach. Looks like Skutge and Enchantress are another 2 pack. This was the only one. $19.99

big hank · 07-30-2017, 02:23 PM

Tomax l saw a Jim Lee Cyclops at a Walgreens just last week. If l can remember which one l will swing by to see if its there. I am a service contractor for Home Depot so l am all over and need to recall where l spotted him.
