Hey everyone.
Got a question for all our American members.
I'm making a very last minute trip to the states and am looking for some advice. It looks like I'll be heading into the great state of Michigan for a day or so and was wondering where's the best toy spots there? Primarily for Marvel Legends, DC Collectible or G.I. Joes (which are virtually non-existent here in Canada). I'd love to get my hands on either that Zombie 2 pack, are that 3 pack that someone posted from Ross. Any advice?

Good luck mate, I can't offer you any advice about Michigan but sounds like Canada is similar to the US - Joes are not plentiful down her either. In fact pretty rare, see them on rare occasion @ TRU but that was months ago.

Thanks man.
I'm sure I'll find some goodies at Target and Wal Mart at least. I just saw some of the sale prices on some older legends which I don't have yet, so I'm hoping I get some good ones.
Yeah the New Joe situation is pretty bad...no one up here even carries them. The last 2 pack I saw at TRU here was the first wave of the 50th, (blowtorch I think? not sure). Even the movie figs were fairly hard to come by.

Where in Michigan will you be? The UP? Near Detroit?

Time Travelers in Berkeley: Great selection of old and new stuff, owner is kind of a grump though

There and Back Again Toys in Flint: great toys, great prices

Big Bens Comix Oasis in Allen Park: Great selection, prices can be high but there's a few good deals to be had


Hope that helps!

The inlaws are in Flint so I may have to give that a shot sometime when I'm there.

Thanks for all the help guys!
I picked up a couple of Marvel Legends (Comic Dr. Strange so I'm one step closer to finishing my Dorammu, a Spidey from Homecoming, All New Wolverine, Iceman and Havok) So I finished my Juggernaut and am only 1 away from Dorammaru. Thanks for all the insights guys!

My nephew knows Big Ben's, so we're saving that for my next trip down. I'll try to post up pics this week. Thanks again guys, much appreciated!

If you guys ever come north of the border, I'll be happy to return the favour.
