I currently reside in South Richmond Hill, NY...

[RaiderInNY]

Any sightings, new releases, signings, events...post here, where and when!!!

Hopefully Monsters pops up in the city this week!!!

[cloator]

What up ? I'm From Brooklyn, New york. I shop at the TRU on 42nd Street. Kay-Bee Toys. Walmarts, K-marts.

[RaiderInNY]

C'Mon...where are the regulars?

Tyler Duden, burnwngs etc...

[burngwngs]

I'm from The Bronx.

I go to :
Forbidden Planet
TRU @ 42nd, Bay Plaza, White Planes
Midtown Comics on Lexington
Gamestop in Parckchester
And a few other mom & pop shops here in the BX
I never got the name straight for that place that by the mall on 34th. They are big on Sports cards and they have a Life size Darth Maul?

I asked somebody in FB about Monsters and THEY said maybe in another Month or so.
I kicked the desk and bought BOME Vol.4. Halloween - Chan

They've put a few Japanese mini figs in the Sale area in the back for $1.99 & $2.99
They got the new Tim Burton's ....um, um um ...I forgot what they are called but they are like tortured little toys. Actually I think that what they are Tortured Toys. They come 3 in a box for $14.99. They look really cool. I think I'll be getting them all very soon. I'll find some pics.

That fine chick who I thought was Asian was there again. And yes, I stould there just so that she could walk by me a few times.

They got a lot of New PSP movies that I've never seen anywhere else.

[RaiderInNY]

Asian...Did she say, "Hola como estas?"

'Cause she is a fellow latina! :D

I saw the Mezitz Latherface, Freddy etc...in a 3-pack a few weeks back there!

A month or so for Monsters huh....I bet we'll find it sooner!

[burngwngs]

I know she is not Asian, thats why I said "thought". But I did speek to her in spanish before. I saw the same Mezitz today as well. $13.99. Ithought about but I dont even have any of the regular sized ones.
I'm tempted to get that New Batgirl, she looks hot.

[RaiderInNY]

Hey, did you notice if there were any Kotibukiya Clone Troopers left? Really high up on the shelfs where the Star Wars stuff is at?
I think they had one in the front main display case for awhile!

[burngwngs]

Yup, it's there

[burngwngs]

Here they go. They Are called Tim Burton's Tragic Toys

[burngwngs]

I went to this place on 46 and 5th the other day and they had maybe 30 of those Kotobokiya Troopers for $100 as well. I doubt they would sell out as fast as FB, so let me know if you need help with that. It's by my job.

[Leegeta]

I'm from Long Island. The places i shop at are usually TRU, KB Toys, Amok Time (big comic book store) and if i am in the city, Midtown Comics.

[RaiderInNY]

THX burnwngs...Im planning to go to F.Planet after work on Friday, maybe hang out around there...If I cant find one, I'll hit holla at ya for one near your job!
That spot near your job, you know if they have various 'Sandtrooper' figures?

[burngwngs]

I know you can find a lot of classic SW figs there. They have the Yoda Koto and the Trooper. But for some reason the do not have much of the ROTS series. They have a whole curio of all the old SW figs open and MOC.

[RaiderInNY]

What's the name of the place etc... I may need to go there on Friday! /;D

[burngwngs]

I believe it's called Collectors Kingdome. It's on 46th between 5th and 6th. I can double check tomorrow if you want.

[cerealwarz]

[burngwngs]

YO RAIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FB Got all the Monsters today man. $10.99 each, I dont know if they have a bundle price but it's still a good price regardless. They also have these:

KOTOBUKIYA:
Scout Trooper
Clone Trooper
Storm or Sand Trooper (dont remember which one)
Chewie
Han Ani Yoda

They also had some new Micromen. They come with what I think is a Mech for $14.99

I baught ....Red Riding Hood, Miss Muffet and Gretel. I'll go back for the others next week since I'm pretty sure those wont sell as much as the 3 I picked up. They had about 2 or 3 Red Hoods left. I was in a rush so I didnt see if they anything else new.

[thejikas]

Your welcome, Just post if they're running out or run out if possible. I still have to pick up the Bateman. Grabbed the Draven and Jason they SEEMed to have less of those.

[RaiderInNY]

All I want is draven and Jason...
I hope they still have them on Monday after work!!!! How much did they cost?

HAUL:::

Saturday went to F.PLanet, picked up Gretel, Lil Miss Muffet and Red Riding Hood at F.Planet! They had the Orange pauldron Koto Sandtrooper...wasnt impressed by it...I was going to get the CLone Trooper...OUT OF STOCK! :(

Pics coming soon...

[cerealwarz]

Sunday haul.

2 celtic predators and 1 elder. Not bad for a sunday morning walk around.

[cerealwarz]

Sweet! My very first mugging! :D

Welcome to New York.

:D

[RaiderInNY]

Hey, Any other C.Classics sightings other than in Hanley's?

I need those suckers...

Oh, picked up the Chapelle DVD season 2....HAUL!

[RaiderInNY]

Went to Hanley's today...

I saw the Cult Classics...

P.Bateman was ok, nothing spectacular...never was going to pick him up anyway!
Gremlin...Oh well...another oe I was picking up anyway!

They had 2 Jason's remaining, both of them had busted up clamshells with major dents etc...priced at 14.99...they had NO 'Crow' figures; guy said he was gone by Sunday!!!

So basically, I left them there and didnt bother picking the Jason up, I called F.PLanet, they dont know when they are gettin them in! Went to 'Its another Hit' on 33rd, nothing there. They had a boat load of MOnsters though...

As for my Haul:
Met up some dude in the city, and I was able to pick-up 1 Red 13 -aka- Nanaki BanDai US Final Fantasy 7 figure and 1 Cloud Strife MOMC!

Picked up Monster 4 on Saturday at F.Planet...
and the D.Chappelle season 2 DVD!

OHHHHHH, and a little thing called Urizen came via USPS today at my crib!
Yes, that makes it 3 Urizen's (2 Red signatures and 1 Blue one!) :D

Pics on the way...

bump

[thejikas]

so any one wanna post some pics of open bateman?

or do i have to do everything meself :D

[RaiderInNY]

Bateman blows...

I called Spencer's at Queens Center mall...no cult classics!

[eijjix23]

ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE From Brooklyn to Manhattan.
im not going to list where i go cuz then everyones going to go there.
i cant have my secrets spots be exposed!

[RaiderInNY]

so basically you go to the same spots!

[ragingdemon]

seriously though, can I get my shoes back? It's starting to hurt my bare feet :(.

[RaiderInNY]

We gave them to the homeless dude on 57th and Lex., he's stomping on dog ***** as we speak! :D

[ragingdemon]

uh, he can keep 'em.

And I'm not too surprised about Bateman, the proto didn't look that good to begin with. I've already got 18 inch Jason, so he's out. I've got Draven from the boxed set, and as sweet as the base is it doesn't warrant another purchase. On the otherhand, Mohawk looks good!

[cerealwarz]

I thought they were given to the guy on 52nd street and 5th ave near the church on the corner. The guy's dog tries to bite the tourists. He used to have cats but they could of been eaten.

[RaiderInNY]

HAUL...

Picked up a Tony 'Scarface' Montana Reaslistic Variation (Blue Suit) Player figure from Hot Topic!!!

I have a set on pre-order from Killer toys...I may go back to pick up an extra BLK suit one just to open! :D

Cant find Cult Classics anywhere! :(

[RaiderInNY]

When did this come out??
I have the last two (catchick & witch) but this came out of the nowhere.

[RaiderInNY]

Alright folks...went to MIdtown comics, they only had 1 Jason and 2 MOhawk gremlinns remaining, I asked the guy who worked the counter on the 2nd level and he said there are no more left!

I picked up the Jason at 12.99 @ Midtown!

I walked over to Toy Tokyo, and they had them there!!! But, just the Eric Dravens and Gremlins...So I picked up the Crow figure there for 12.99!!!

It seems that everywhere Ive gone for a week, the hardest to find is 'The Crow'!!

Well, Toy tokyo had 3 more left when I walked out and about 4 Gremlins, nothing else!

Walked to Forbidden Planet, they had no Cult Classics....

They had Koto Vader's Sandtroopers (orange pauldron), Yoda, Jango Fett etc....

On display there, was the Predator 1:1 bust...WOW that thing is huge and f'uking detailed...The spanish chick that works there that everyone goes ga-ga about said, "you like...", I smiled at her and said "not for the price..."

They also had the 18" endo by NECA for 40.99 and they had it at Midtown for the same price!

OHHH, at Midtown comics and Toy Tokyo, they had the Wizard Exclusive NECA Sin City Cut-faced Marv figure for 19.99! I thought about it...left them on the pegs!

I'll post pics of myhaul tonight!

[ahab162]

i live in norwalk, i am goin to nyc on sunday , i spoke to some guy on da phone at midtown and said he would hold a jason and mohawk for me, so hopefully he keeps his word and i will scoop them up sunday (do u think they will actually hold them , i did give them name and number,:confused:

[RaiderInNY]

ahab, I have no idea...
I never heard of them holding any toys for someone...I know they do that for comics and comic supplies etc on the 1st level. If they do, more power to yah...Good luck!

[ahab162]

[cerealwarz]

The Big Apple Comic and Toy show SUCKED big time. No good dealers and I saw hardley any buyers. Anyone go? Worst Show Ever

[RaiderInNY]

ceralwarz, didnt go...i just walked around manhattan and went hunting for goods!

There was an anime show/convention in NJ somewhere...that wouldve been better no doubt!

[RaiderInNY]

BTW, cant find any stores that presently have a kotobukiya clone trooper in stock...i need one!

I didnt check Tower records, they had them online, hopefully they have em at the stores...anyone?

[predator twenty five]

Dont Listen to RMC he told me just now over aim that he made up a *** lie in the NYC thread :P

[RaiderInNY]

Gkad you have fun at the con

[cerealwarz]

The funny looking wizard was there but the story is a bit over blown. Yes, there was an artist there purring scratches and cuts on people. Didnt see the Star Wars guests. CGC was supposed to be there and were not. They flirt with you cause that's their job. Easy to amuse, as long as you had fun.

[RaiderInNY]

I went to a convention a few years back on 50 something st., where CGC promoted their appearance etc... I took down some comics etc....nothing, bastard werent there!

[ahab162]

[dragonkings]

hey king, you have to contribute to this ubiquitous thread...
yeah sorry not much To post but do you guys think this is a good price for a Guyver...
$65.00 ImageAnime.http://us.st2.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/matrixcollectibles_1851_2454277
They tend to run steep, I already grabbed a Guyver 3 for about 80.00 dlvd on ebay so is this over the top? OR does anybody here know ANY Place to get this for less in the city?
Damn imports they really ream you for those.

[RaiderInNY]

Good price...but, thats just me!

[dragonkings]

thanks,
how does that Scarface figure look next to the other Movie Figures?
Is the scale good?






btw: you guys heard this? The NECA toy company is doing Samara from the ring as a boxed set.

[cerealwarz]

Why can't you say Neca?

[dragonkings]

Why can't you say Neca?
I dunno, tend to be careful on this board lately....
but yeah, the sketch looks awesome too. Hope the follow through is sweet.

[RaiderInNY]

SAMARA....HA

[cerealwarz]

Everyone doesnt want to mention their name and I don't know why. When I talked to Todd and mentioned a feature on one of their toys he gave me a look and said he was not familar with it. You could tell he was not thrilled that I said their name.

By the way your from NY show some balls. :)

[RaiderInNY]

NECA is cool, I like their toys...I own many of their GREAT Movie figs!!!

Hey, where did you get that Samara info?

[dragonkings]

NECA is cool, I like their toys...I own many of their GREAT Movie figs!!!

[RaiderInNY]

when are we going to chill?

$ hit, Im always in and around downtown manhattan anyways on Sat.'s etc...and even on Friday after work!!!

Let's bum rush F.Planet and take *****, run out and enjoy our hauls as we get chased by the NYPD!

[cerealwarz]

I bet you money the bag checkers at FP can run.

[dragonkings]

Have you seen the bag checkers, what are they gonna do when they catch you?

[RaiderInNY]

those skinny, dope addict looking, wannabee slackers...? Oh pleaseeeee, they wont chase anyone anywhere!!!
The spanish chick that everyone thinks is asian is more of a threat physically than those dudes!

Hey, does anyone remember the scrawnny, stringy harir white dude with the blonde hair that used looked stoned? He hasnt been there for months...ever since they move the toys to the front of the store...he used to be the coolest one in there!

Yeah that was Bob AKA Shaggy looking dude on these boards LOL.
He was cool people but eventually just got tired and bounced. All the people working there look like their looking for other jobs, wonder what's up?
looks like a easy gig, guess the pay sucks....

[cerealwarz]

I saw him there way back, when it was moved to the front and he was complaining about it. From what I know he was trying or alreay kicked a habit. If anyone can kick the big H i give them all the credit in the world.

[RaiderInNY]

Dayum...

That dude was the coolest!!!

The pay must suck there, no doubt...but s hit, they get first dibs on variants etc...and I know for a fact they make a killing when they open up cases...

Ive never seen a sportspick variant on a peg in there...Oh, once...I purchased and traded it for a figure I wanted!!!

[burngwngs]

BUMP?

[RaiderInNY]

OHHH, I have a nice haul to show you guys...

[cerealwarz]

I think I have bought a total of 10 variants from FP.

[RaiderInNY]

Jobs are overrated...the only positive is the money!!!

[cerealwarz]

Work....I don't believe in it.

[Ackbor83]

[RaiderInNY]

Alright, went to TRU on 42nd street...
They had 5 or 6 rows of 3 pegs all empty except for 2 dangling tore up Assaj Ventress (sp?) figures...NO Unleashed figures remained, didnt even know they were out in TRU in NYC!!! No Vaders, No Palp v Yoda and the ubiquitous "Sry, whatever we have on the shelves is all we have" from all the employees!!!

They did have all the Military figs, the boxed set and they look really nice, but I will have to pass on that line just to constraint myself due to the many purchases lately and up head! No MLB 12, really want that Carlos Beltran WHT jersey variant!!!

Went to Midtown comics...nothing, although they have stocked up on alot of Bome figs, many Koto S.Wars figs etc...

On 34th street, 'Its another hit' again with their outrageous prices, saw the 18" Bateman, really nice...they had the MLB 12 Beltran's, crazy prices! Gamestop had nothing, and Jim Hanley's Universe was a ghost town!

Went to F.Planet, and after going by the counter, where th employess step in to the registers, next to the front wall of McF figs, hidden in a corner buried very strategically i will say...I saw this and got it adding to my recent anime chick collection Ive been getting into alot more:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/RaiderInNY/HAULSAT.jpg

No Beltran's spotted there either :(
F.Planet had no Military figs, havent received Unleashed figures and had an abundance of C.Classics, New Street Fighter lines and Scarface by Mezco!

Then, I went to the comic/toy shop near Lions Den, right near the Peanut Butter diner and picked up these:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/RaiderInNY/HAULoSAT.jpg

Kincaid was $15 and Spaulding was 7.99!!!!

I didnt own Kincaid, so I :D when I saw it and took it in!!! I was going to order it, so I was happy I saved on the shipping etc...
!

[TyLeR DuRDen x2]

nice.. i picked up that anime chick as well. love it

[RaiderInNY]

It is sweet!!! I had to take it out the package...23.99 was the price!

[thejikas]

:mad:

You! You are not a new yorker! You are not welcome here! :mad: ;) :o :p

[TyLeR DuRDen x2]

raider , any sightings of the new unleashed. and have you been to toy tokyo latley.
anything good ?

[RaiderInNY]

Dude, TRU on Times Square had the Unleashed last week...

This past Saturday, I got there around 1:30 pm, went to the SW section, saw only 2 Assaj Ventress figures on about 12 empty pegs!!! No Vaders, No Palps vs. Yoda and every ****** employee answered my question with the ubiquitous, "whatever is on the shelves iswhat we have in-stock!" reply!!!!

I ordered mine on Amazon back in APril (Palp v Yoda and Vader) still nothing...
I have a set on pre-order from Killertoys.com....nothing!

As for toytokyo, they have basically whats out and you can get anywhere...C.Classics, S.Fighter, etc...

Although, no military figs (in TRU Times square) and as for anime stuff, Midtown comics and F.Planet have been my best spots fo that type of stuff!

[TyLeR DuRDen x2]

no doubt.. thanks alot dude

[RaiderInNY]

The Military figs do look good...when I was in TRU, I was tempted to get some, but got some cool anime stuff instead!!!
Also found a Kincaid in a toy shop near the Lions Den!

[TyLeR DuRDen x2]

im actually looking to get this. hopefully i can find it at forbidden planet

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/RaiderInNY/KillerHaulKanu001.jpg

[RaiderInNY]

Oh tyler, BTW,
I got this at F.Planet:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/RaiderInNY/Ikki002.jpg

Problem is, I had to dig through some stuff, as it was hidden underneath alot of other anime stuff, on the wall near the spawn toys, where the cashiers go into to get to the cash resgisters...they always hide stuff in there around that corner!

[TyLeR DuRDen x2]
