Kicker773 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 yeah i dropped the ball that one. i'm actually here with the gf. She isn't exactly in favor of my increasing collection of valks. So i'm trying to stop by when shes busy shopping. so frank and sons is only open two days? how about tsinc99, do they have a store? if so where? and how are their prices? i haven't had luck with my online transactions with them.

Eternal_D Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 i went today to pick up a couple things...didn't shop around tho...might go again wednesday but not sure. still trying to get me some bacara busts from baltimore convention. tsinc does have a store...or at least they did like 6 or 7 years ago. it should be on their website. I don't like them most times but have bought a couple things from them from time to time...usually things that i find are cheap...otherwise i find there prices to be kinda high...and once something gets rare, they skyrocket the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunbuster Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I don't know if you want to drive all the way down here to the OC, but there's a place called Anime King in Huntington Beach. Their number is (714)841-8726. They got lots of anime, transformer stuff and some macross stuff as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 so anyone know what time is open until on sunday? tried calling but no one picked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 You can try Anime Jungle in Japan Town in Los Angeles. They have some valkyries (no 19 though, and I doubt the SV-51). They have an excellent selection of figures, and a buttload of gashapon and trading figures. You have to pay for parking in the area, but I always just park in the garage at Kinokuniya and get my ticket validated when I go eat or pick up some stuff (Anime Jungle is across the street in a little mall-ish area).

EXO Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Anything outside of frank and Sons will be over priced and the selection wont be as good. Plus you can't come to LA and not visit F&S if you like toys. That's like being a Mickey Mouse fan and not going to Disneyland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 just stopped by anme king and they only had one valk, one silver stand, and one armor. the valks were a little on the overprice side. wish i knew that frank and sons were only open biweekly. i'll try and hit japantown in la later today. anyone know what time they close til? thanks for the help guys. i just need my valk fix before i go back to chi town.

BoBe-Patt Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Anime Jungle closes one day a week and I think it's on a monday that they are closed. I'd go there before 5 if you can just so you can see the other stores. When are you leaving to go back to chi town? I have some friends that are from chi town and actually I have one friend there now. Anyway, F&S is open on wednesday if you leave after wednesday. good luck!

Kicker773 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 yeah by the time i got to japantown most of the stores were already closed. i got stuck in la traffic for two and a half hours. here i thought chicago traffic was horrible, but not moving for hours is insane. was a collectible shop across but was already closed. sux but maybe next time. flight is leaving in two hours, on the way to the airport and back to chitown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baronv Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I was at F&S this Saturday but Treasure Island was closed for some reason, I saw they were selling the Nora & Ivanov SV-51 can any of you regulars tell me how much they are selling for? Does anyone else sell the SV-51 at F&S and how much? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 If I remember correctly, the SV-51's were like 200 bucks. It could be a little cheaper like 190. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadghost Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I have been going to F and S for years, and I never thought I would find a macross world member there, I think the 0s is at a decent price, but I think your just better off ordering it off the net same for all the other yamatos.

KiriK Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 last time i checked prices for SV-51s... Nora's and Ivanovs were at least $220 which was at Yoshi's.... Treasure Island had them for like $225 each.... but that was maybe a month ago... i doubt they'd have dropped that low... i know i've worked down yoshi to $212.... but i'm sure pat could do a better job than i can with haggling...

Knight26 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How willing are the shops at F&S to negotiate on prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiriK Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How willing are the shops at F&S to negotiate on prices? depends on the people and the item.... lower priced stuff under $20 or so are usually hard to bargain down... higher priced items may have a bit more flexibility.

BoBe-Patt Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 depends on the people and the item.... lower priced stuff under $20 or so are usually hard to bargain down... higher priced items may have a bit more flexibility. and it depends on whose doing the asking. The most I've ever haggled yoshi for was 50 bucks. hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBe-Patt Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 cool, do you know whats stall/store # or aisle? is that nearby tisinc? no where near tisinc. He's on the opposite side. He's lik aisle 600 or 800 or something like that. I suggest you look at every booth carefully. You can't miss the only Japanese old guy with glasses that has Macross, TF, SOC, Mcfarlane stuff as well. He's the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just and F&S today and I had no idea tisinc had a booth. I believe I walked into Yoshi's booth briefly, if it's the one I'm thinking of, he's right next to the booth with the tons of Kid Robot stuff (iirc). Which one is the tisinc one? I was snooping around for a 0s w/ghost combo, but found a 19/fold booster combo for a bit better price.

kaiotheforsaken Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I picked up the 19 w/f fold for 220 which is about the same price I see it online from most retailers, I just didn't have to pay to ship the thing (which was my goal). As for the Shin...I did see a few 0A's w/ghost combos (which iirc, is the Shin version) I think Yoshi's shop had one but I don't recall the price. The other place I saw em, had them priced at 250, which is part of the reason I opted for the 19 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
