I'm going to New York City for a weekend in Dec. Where are the good stores to buy wrestling figs? I've been to TRU in Times Square. Anywhere else? Specialty/Comic Shops? Thanks guys

Tru in time square is usually terrible. Seems like tru, walmarts, targets etc are not really any different than in other place. You might find different things in different areas but its all luck of the draw

Thanks. That's what I figured. I know there used to be a WWE store in Niagara Falls. The Big Apple needs one of those. Like when they used to have the restaurant.

There's really no place in NYC that's any better than anywhere outside the city. If you happen to get to TRU early on a day where they've restocked, you may get lucky. One thing TRU Times Square usually does have is cases of Battle Packs, including the harder to find ones (Bellas, Otunga/Hennig).

I find better figures when I visit my parents back in Ohio than I do living in NYC. I usually go to the Kmarts on 34th street and Aster Place, and the Times Square Toys R Us. Sometimes I go into Brooklyn and go to Target, but they never have anything.
I did however get the 20-0 Undertaker at the Times Square Toys R Us. So they have that.

I'be been to nyc quite a few times and knew about tru and fao Schwartz. I never saw a target or Wm but I'm sure you gotta go to the boroughs for that. I just didn't know if there were any toy collector, comic shops, or mom and pop stores that sold action figs or wwe.

Well you can check the Century 21 stores. They've had some freshly stocked sets randomly, and sometimes nothing at all. There's also Wrestling Universe in Queens. All their figures are overpriced, but they do have a good selection.
Of course, there's comic book shops in NYC, none that I've ever been to that has anything worth noting. There's a particular small toy store in Park Slope that has some WWE figures, but they are above retail, and I haven't there in a while.
But seriously, your best bets were listed in my previous post. Good luck.

Walmarts and kmart is going to be your best bet on anything, TRU and target are going down hill fast with figs
