It's in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Their website is http://tatescomics.com ...I don't see any online ordering options, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to find out if they'd ship.

That's funny, I went to Tate's yesterday also. It really is a great store, and they do cool stuff like having comic book artists in last week to draw people in comic form for donations to charity. They also have a pretty sweet gallery upstairs where they host art shows.

No, I was the girl who was picking up all the boxes to see if there were any hidden chase pieces

I was there around 5:30.

My hot topic had 1 single Wonder Woman pop on the bottom of a clearance rack, lying there on her side. They had a TON of storm troopers, and in the back of the room they had some FunkoTronics.

So it was a strike out day today Ron? Besides the awesome food

Postby **Garrison** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 1:56 am

Ron,

I just want to say that I love your Friday Funko runs. I almost feel like I'm riding shotgun! Well except for the fact that I don' t get to enjoy the great food, or in this instance the BEER!

Garrison

Yes .. yesterday was a Funko Bust !!

Although I did get Doritos, Chips, Peanuts, & everything to make homemade pineapple/mango salsa.

Ohhh and the stuff to make homemade Guacamole also with some good beer to wash it all down with.

Justifying an 0-fer .. LOL !! No more headed in that direction anymore !!

Not a complete strike out for you buddy. I have something for you off of your pop list Send me your address again ( man I wish I had better organization skills, I never keep track of addresses ) and something you need from your list will be headed your way.

Just never delete your PMs here .. lol

I have addresses that go back like 8 years ... except when they disappear cause all my folders are full here.

Feeling crappy today might run to Amok Time Toys see if the still had the V for Vendetta or Green Arrow POP!s .. but then again don't feel like running out either .. I'm so confused !

Sending PM

Today, I went to three Disney Stores, and they had no Peter Pans, Zurgs, Mikes, or Jacks.
Then I went into a Comic Book shop I had never gone into before, and they had a tiny selection of Pop! but I managed to snag Purple Haze and Reggae Rasta. They also had the Christmas ones that I have no interest in unless I had found them at Target in the clearance section. The owner of the comic book shop showed me the catalog that they order from. He explained they receive the catalogs two months in advance, so they can place the order. He showed me that the ones available for order are Disney series 2, including the new Toy Story bobble head ones, the Avengers, as well as a few other DC and Marvels
