Don't rely on any of stores to have them.
The only places I've seen them in are in Japanese shops
and in other Asian shops. China Town would be a good
place to look, That's where I bought mine.
Anyways...Gooooood luck :D

[iluvpenelo]

i might have to pay china town a visit then. they wont try to kill me or mug me or something will they?? (thats not a pop at chinese or asians, im an irish kid who is always apprehensive in places where he doesnt fit in, i was mugged in england. get what i mean??)

[Chris]

:mad: Asians are NOT aggressive and they won't jump you.
Trust me...I'm half Philippine :)

Again, if that sounded mildly racist, it wasnt. at all. Im not racist at all.

chris, i dunno if you're talking bout the china town in new york but if you are, could you be a little more specific as to where the store you bought them is??

[Chris]

;) I was only kidding LIGHTEN UP :D :D :D ... :D
As to the stores....that's embarrassing...I forgot :(

Edit: There's a store called Tokyo Skywalk. :D

[iluvpenelo]

Tokyo skywalk, excellent thanx chris. and thats in new york is it??

[Chris]

No :)
But I'm pretty confident that they have it in NYC as well :)

Happy hunting :D

[iluvpenelo]

I'm korean, whoever disses Asia I jump them. I found some action figures of FFX, and FFVIII in a mall. It was like a hello kitty kinda shop. But I did find some CD's and collectiables.

But you will find some collectibles in NY. Im sure of it. ^^

Okay Im not sure, but theres always hope...

I'm Puerto Rican. Whoever disses Puerto Rico gets..... heavily agreed with by me :D

There's better places to check than stores. Foremost among them is ebay. There's also specialty import shops which you can find by looking at the top of the screen. That's right, scroll up, further, there! Up at the top there!

[iluvpenelo]

i would buy them on the net, but theres an absence of a credit card. i need to know like, stores i can get them in the places i menchained. particularly the chrono cross ones

You can actually find them most everywhere nowadays. I got the VII and VIII figures I have from KB Toystore. Always check KB FIRST! They may not have it, but if they do, it will be WAY cheaper than anywhere else. Anywhere from 3 to 10 bucks cheaper from what I've noticed.

Suncoast has them a lot, also check video game stores (Gamestop, Electronics Boutique, etc). Any anime stores that you may run into, check them. Though they may be a little more expensive, I know the Anime Club store where I live always has all sorts of game figures (including the FF 'hero' gashapon set). I prefer to get all of it off of Ebay to save money, but as you've said that's right out.

If you can hit up places like Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Little Saigon, always do. They have things cheap and with awesome variety. These places are no more dangerous than any other big city, but do keep an eye on your surroundings and watch your wallet. Also, be on your best behavior in the shops. I frequent Chinatown in LA and I've visited the one in San Fransisco, the shopkeepers seem very apprehensive when I enter (I suppose being a tall blonde chick decked out in punk gear doesnt help), but they're nice folks.

Again, try any toystore you find, anywhere. Anime and RPGs are far more popular than they were when I started collecting (about 10 years ago), and it's all far easier to find. You wouldnt believe the lengths we used to have to go to. xD

thanx abominatrix!!!! :D

I know of a few anime specialty stores:

Cambridge (in Boston) has an excellent store called Tokyo Kid. They carry collectables, model kits, DVDs and soundtracks.

New London, Connecticut has a store called Sarge's Comics. A little less in the way of collectables, more comic books and gaming systems.

Providence, Rhode Island used to have an anime store, but it's gone now. :P

I live in australia, and its hard to get any kind of collectable figureines without importing, my local comic shop orders them in for me, and i get a hefty discount for spending all my money there, EB is a let down because they refuse to order http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif in or do any deals with the http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif they have, thanks to Kaboon Comics i got my Heretic Bahumat and Yojimbo action figure set for around $60 bucks a peice, major discount, seeing as they were $100, so try checking any run down little comic shops, if you frequent the shop regularly and spend a lil bling bling, they might just be nice to you and order the http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif in.
