We'll never find half the figures we want in a regular toy store so we have to hit the comic shops who charge 'import' prices or pay over the odds on ebay. If I want to build Metamorpho its probably going to cost me Spare a thought for us folks in the UK.

Second, I feel your pain--Mrs. Ghostal-to-Be is from Simi Valley, and there isn't much for the toy collector around there when we visit. Though I do like a place in Santa Monica called <a href="http://www.puzzlezoo.com/" rel="nofollow">Puzzle Zoo</a>...they have lots of awesome toys there, including a lot of MOC vintage stuff.
