| - Imagine my joy when I was walking around the Jobing.com area before a concert and found a McFarlane store! It was like Christmas. Yes, I own several McFarlanes of various sports. Hockey and baseball being the main figures I own. The figures are very authentic and a nice piece of memorabilia/collectible for fans of a team or player.
I was blown away that there was a store devoted strictly to all the various McFarlane creations.
I was thrilled to go inside and find players that I might not normally find at other stores or pay ridiculous prices online or at another retail shop .
On my first visit. I ended up getting a Joe Thornton item for my future brother in law..
Since my initial experience, each time I've gone to the store (4 times now) I've always left a bit disappointed. The player(s) I was looking for were never there! Every single time! Yes, they still have tons of Shaun Alexanders', Eli Mannings', NBA Legends (minus Majerle), and Jose Reyes to name a few.
The cost of the figures are very reasonable and in line for what I've paid at Target, Toys R Us in the past buying other figures. Usually around $9.99-11.99.
Besides the sports figures, there are also other figures or toys available-Kiss, Halo, GI Joe, Smurfs among others..
The store has always been clean and aisles free of scattered toy boxes. You may only had to sidestep kids running around instead of kids and boxes.
Next time I hit Jobing.com for a game or concert, I'll swing by the McFarlane store, but I know what I might be looking for is likely not there.
Some McFarlanes are available next door at Just Sports, but more expensive. I'm not talking a dollar or two either.
