    I suppose that I could do an exhaustive analysis of the boards or even just the "sister thread" to this one, but I'm lazy. Please help me out.
    I am relatively new to the area--one year--I know some of the basics of Toy Hunting around here, but I know there are secretst that I am not yet privy to.
    Where are the stores?
    I know:
    G-Town Pkwy: 2 Targets, Walmart, TRU, Triple Play
    Stage: K-B, Walmart
    Colonial Target
    Poplar/Perkins Comics and Collectibles
    Mall of Memphis TRU
    Bojo's Antique Mall--Highland/Summer
    Main Street Antiques in South Haven
    Hickory Hill Target
    Winchester/G-Town Walmart

    What else is there?
    What are your favorites?
    Where can I get VOTC ESB and ROTJ? I heard that someplace in Collierville might have them--Where? Do they still? How do I get there?

    There's a collectables place in Factory Outlet Mall (on Canada Road) that has tons of POTF figures, Jacob.

    Also, there's Animax on Summer Ave. It has some SW stuff.

    And John informed me last night that Walmart in Covington has the VOTC ESB figs now.

    Also, check out your area Rite Aids. They have a habit of having some old POTF figures on their toy ailes. Apparently, according to one employee I spoke to, they're pretty shoddily run, and have bins of toys that arrive that are slowly brought to the shelves. I got a lot of POTF, as well as some of the EU figs, at the one in Raleigh, but I've seen them in some of the other stores as well.

    And check out the K-marts and Walmarts in da hood. For some strange reason, you can usually find something there that you can't find elsewhere.

    Directions to Covington, TN.
    Well, if you've been to Tim & Traci's house, just continue on Raleigh-Millington Rd. into Millington.
    Make a left on Navy Rd. Make a right on Hwy 51.
    Head North on Hwy 51 out of Millington, through Atoka/Munford and Brighton and you'll get to Covington. Drive through Covington and the Wal-Mart is on the way out of town.

    (And then if you stay on 51, and cross the bridge, and head West on 87, and then go down a county road with a few twists, you'll get to our place)

    I forgot that you're not too far north of Covington, Joe.

    I wonder if the Walmart on American Way has anything good? It's in da hood, where SW figures don't sell so good, but ammo does. I haven't been out there in a long time.

    When we used to live in Hickory Hill, we'd hit thatone A LOT. There was also one that was down Riverdale (maybe at Shelby??), but it's probably closed now.

    I found out last week that All-American Comics on Navy Road in Millington has a lot of SW stuff. The only problem is that they've left most of it near the front window, and the packages show some sun damage.

    I forget the name of it, but there's a huge antique store on Summer Avenue (its kind of in the area of Jun Lee Traders, though on the other side of the road) that has a ton of Star Wars items in a display when you first walk in. I'm not a big collector, so I don't know what's rare and whats not, but the guy had a lot of stuff.

    It's red antique store with the big circular clock on the roof on Summer Avenue. Hard to miss. I've only been here a little over a year as well, so I'm not the best at giving directions.

    That's Bojay's Antiques, Jason. I went there once. Some of their stuff is a little on the pricey side in comparison to the place at Factory Outlet Mall.

    I went to the Outlet Mall out on Canada Road. The selection at the KB outlet was lame, but there was quite the selection of POTF2 stuff at an antiques dealer--prices on some things were quite high, but they are in better condition than Tim Boyd's stuff.
