    You might want to try Colonial Photo and Hobby on Colonial Drive or Hobbytown USA in Sanford.

    Man, so far behind now. Waiting for the leaders to show up on HTS with to use a 20% off code or such. Been in the hospital since 2/6 so haven't been on the hunt. Doubt my wife would appreciate me buying any toys right now with the bills that will be coming in :( 

    Good news, I got out Friday and my birthday preorder from last August is finally coming in any day. 2nd run MP-36 Megatron and MP-39 Sunstreaker. Since they were bought and paid for back in August, I got no grief ;)  Something to look forward to while recovering at least.

    Depends on what you need. Anime Orlando on SR 50 near Dean rd occasionally has 1:12 accessory model kits (Japanese arcade boxes, school desks, office furniture) that you can build. They can get pretty pricey, though.

    Your best bet is Acme Superstore in Longwood. Mike's Comics on Orange Blossom Trail may also have some of them but they'd be marked up price-wise if that's so.

    Both? There was zero POTP in the shelves and what little other product (RID, movie) was scattered everywhere...

    once again, living in Central Florida has become a toy frustration! luckily, Dorksidetoys has all three Marvel Legends waves I'm looking for up for pre-order (I got my BAF Lizard set this week), plus wave 2 of Power of the Primes. screw brick-n-mortar stores!

    Went to Gods and Monsters a couple weeks back. The Transformers selection there is equal parts happy and sad. All they have now is TFP Knock Out with Reprolabels, 3 Loyal Subjects figures, the Animated Happy Meal Optimus, and a Kreon. :( 

    The OG Gods and Monsters was how I got Generations Dirge and Warpath and Universe Hound. Hound was MOC and Dirge and Warpath came from that giant case towards the bar.

    Playing devil's advocate here, but I think a large part of the blame this go around is Hasbro competing with themselves. If you roll back the clock to 2002 and the beginning of Marvel Legends, we used to get two, maybe three waves a year with just 4-5 characters a series. 2018 is barely three months in, and there's already 4 different waves on the shelves or inbound with 6-7 characters each, and there's only so much shelf space that can be devoted to any one subject at a given time. 3 MCU movies, Deadpool, Venom, and the animated Spider-Man movie this year, not to mention whatever cross promotion they got going for whatever cartoons are currently on... It's just too much! And this is at a point where video games have long been eating away at toy profits already. Retailers can't readily predict what will and won't sell, so they order conservatively unless it's something they know is a sure thing, and when it's that, they over-order to the point that they can't order subsequent waves in larger quantities.

    I think this is the year where all my Marvel purchases will be done online, because there's just no way to know what's going to wind up on the pegs.
