Store report: Smyths Toys Super Stores


Krefeld, Germany

Thu, Feb 10, 2022



Since all 7 figures of Mr Lucas sold within a week here in Dresden, my buddy went to the store in Krefeld and got me one! There are definitely other stores where he sold out within 2 days or less though. Thanks & shout out to you, Florian!

The Jurassic World aisle always impresses me…

Store report: Smyths Toys Super Stores


Dresden, Germany

Fri , Feb 11, 2022

















Evidently, George was here...this is how fast store exclusives sell through!












So I just went in for a quick review of the STAR WARS section and am glad to have found TVC figures for as low as 10 bucks each! What a special moment of collecting TVC in 2022. So I paid 32€ for those instead of 56.97€. Have a great weekend everyone!

I hear you, Tamer! Let's hope things will get over the new record inflation again. I updated the last 4 entries above and added new pictures of the last 3 store reports.

FialaFernbrugg: Thanks, the selection here is really good compared to other parts of Germany. The stuff also stays on shelves longer compared to West Germany probably because the interests isn't that strong here. In my next store report you'll see that some stores here still try to sell Episode 9 stuff. What was that movie called again? The Trash of Rian?

Two legendary ships on shelves, just in the wrong scale...




Really enjoy the value of these Fortnite sets. If only Hasbro still made such Battle Packs for Star Wars...I mean heck, this even reminds me of a BOSS Fight figure!

Wow, when you do store reports, you do store reports.

Congrats on passing your exam.

Love seeing all this stuff. It has been over a decade since I have seen that kind of stuff on the shelves or pegs.

They are treating your vintage 3.75" a lot nicer there. Those cards look great.

That's true, my only concern is that the amount of pegs for Vintage Collection decreased over the months and were given to The Black Series instead. Yet, both lines were put on heavy discounts - with the result that many figures including peg-warmers sold.

Store report: Comic Treff Duisburg Local Comic Store


Duisburg, Germany

Wed, Mar 9, 2022


It's been a while, but was even more refreshing to return to a local Comic Store which I discovered back in 2006. Glad it stayed in business even during tough times...





TVC figures are 24,90€ ($28 USD) here now.

That is a great mix of older and newer stuff.

I wish I had some comic shops close to me. I am envious of all the great stores you visit.
