Chicago area Collectors stores / Good areas to look

Quake Collectibles in Lincoln Square is the best. The owner is super nice, they always have cool stuff, and the prices are reasonable. You could spend hours in that place. If you're near Logan Square I'd also check out Bric-a-Brac Records. I recently scored some MOC Classic Superstars there for good prices and they tend to have cool random stuff (and it is great if you are into music, too).

There aren't many Walmarts in the city and the few around never have anything so I wouldn't waste your time (literally the shelves are usually empty most of the times I go in there, and I always regret wasting the gas). Targets are loaded with Top Picks and rarely seem to have the regular elite line. Last week at my closest Target I saw Top Picks, a few leftover Mean Marks, and lots of Ultimate Legends Batista. But be warned that prices in the city are higher - that Ultimate Batista is priced at $37, and with tax will cost you $41. I've also yet to see new AEW figures at Target, just leftovers from series 7, mostly.

Good luck hunting and share back with us what you find!
