kl884347 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 All, Going to NYC in the next month, would appreciate some hints and pointers to some good places to shop. I hear Chinatown has some good places. I Googled and found one person's guide (Sun Chan or someone like that). Anyway, most interested in: Collectibles/Action figures of Macross, Gundam, Patlabor Maybe models (although I have a closet full of unbuilt ones) Maybe some DVDs TIA!

Ivan Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 If you visit the Chinatown in Manhattan, there should be a few DVD stores along Bowery street near the intersection with Canal. You should be able to find a large number of anime DVD's. As for toys, the only place I know of is ImageAnime, which is quite costly.

LiQuiD[EViL] Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Also in chinatown is the elizabeth st mall. I think theres only one store downstairs that has anything good. Prices are ok especially for a store front. http://members.aol.com/Lampbane/geekspeak/....html#elizabeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiQuiD[EViL] Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 O ya, Toy Tokyo. Expensive but lots of stuff. Right next door has some vintage stuff. I think the stores called "loves saves the day" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armentage Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Chinatown is hit-or-miss. You're probably better off going to image anime on 30th st & 6th ave. They have a good selection of everything (models, yamato toys, toynami, etc.). Their prices are pretty good, and they take credit card. The store is also in a much easier to reach location.
