Anyone know of a schedule or a way to find out of Hogan is going to be at his beach shop in Clearwater or Orlando in any given week?
I've tried emailing the shop: Nothing.
I've tried tweeting Hulkster: Nothing
I am going down there in 10 days from Canada and want to meet him and get some autographs... but don't want to bring some stuff down without a plan. I'm not putting some LJN MOC in my suitcase if he's not even going to be there.

I'm up in Canada with no long distance plan lol ... They've got an email contact on the website... was hoping that would work. Not sure why they'd have an inquiry and business email if they don't answer it. I'll call as a last resort if I can't find anything online. |

Their phone lines are busy as well, I went in April. They will post on social media when Hogan is there, but you can also ship things to the shop to get signed but turn around time is like 6 months. Hogan charges a premium for autographs. I wanted my belt signed and got quoted at $225. |

I heard it was "only" $100 which is insane to me, but $225 isn't going to happen for sure. $100, I'd definitely get 2 things signed "just because" but that's ridiculous |

Kasper.ca If you have a MOC LJN Hulk Hogan, he might actually want to meet you at the store and buy it from you.

That was from a Travel Channel show called Toy Hunter. The host went to Hogans Beach Shop to get a MOC LJN Hulk Hogan black card. He bought it off Hogan for $1000 and then sold it to Taboo from Black Eyed Peas for $1500. Wouldnt be surprised if Hogan is always on the lookout for more of these things. |

The 2 cheaper ones lol. Doubt he has interest in those. Most likely only the expensive white/red Hogans. Well crap, I was somewhat alright with $200 for 2 autographs on my stuff... but no way I am paying $300 plus just for that. I don't care how much of an icon he is... that's just ripping off the little guy. I bust my ass to live middle class and an autograph and a "How's it goin brother" takes literally 10 seconds of his life. I'm not paying that |

Considering how bad a business man Hulk has been in the past (I think the beach shop is the only business that's lasted this long), it wouldn't surprise me if he sees none of the money from the autographs and some how the employees have a contract that they get all sole monetary gains from signings.

Well, back from my trip and was pretty disappointed.
It's almost all just new Tshirts and autographed pictures for sale.
Very small. Only a couple loose hasbros and LJN for sale. Not really anything overly exciting.
Hogan wasn't there and the guy said he wouldn't be in all week (while I was in town) so no autographs on my stuff.

It's tiny and mostly clothes/pics In Orlando there is a car and motorcycle inside as well as life size wax statues. Back when I went there was a wall of figures about 30 ft long. Tons of clothes and tons of signed pics and belts etc.. |
