The second Vendor you went to with all the Hot Toys, In my opinion, is really Money Hungry and I avoid that vendor Completely. I visit Frank and sons all the time and I have gotten to know whom to buy from and whom to avoid. I would avoid him. Don't give him your money. Remember these are California prices.

Yea, as someone who takes this place for granted since I live in So. Cal, that 4th booth you entered always has Marvel Legends, Black Series and GI Joe way early, but they are usually marked up. The Hot Toys (3rd booth) is a crazy one and the owner is really nice but is also always busy...

At the same time we who live is Southern California are spoiled to have places like F&S because it's always within reach and instead of going to places like Ebay or whatever, we just think, "Hey I can probably find this, there." Anyways, it's always a pleasure seeing people from out of state to see this toy/collection wonderland we have here and feel the enthusiasm they have when they see all the cool shit.
