Places to go in LA and Hawaii...?

[Mr X]

Hey people... I live in Australia and next month I am heading to LA and Hawaii for a holiday and was wondering if any of you out there could suggest any places to find statues/figures, Batman related stuff. good LCS anything you may know of. I will have a car.
All I've booked so far are Lakers tix and WB tour to chk out the Batmobiles.

Any ideas would be great

Thanx!

Since you're going to the WB area, definitely check out Blast from the Past. They're close by in Burbank. You can check their site here for their store address:

https://blastfromthepast.tv/

They've got a decent amount of collectibles from Hot Toys, Sideshow, Gentle Giant, etc.


If you like roller coasters, go to Magic Mountain. They're about 45 minutes drive north from there. Website is here:

As for Hawaii, it really depends which island you go to.
Oahu has the most resemblance to the mainland as far as shopping and entertainment closely followed by Big Island (Hawaii). Kauii is more secluded and very laid back. This is where you go to leave city life behind. Maui is a mix of both.

^So, I've heard.

 

[Mr X]

Never heard of frank and son... That looks mad. Thanks very much.

Target ok I'll find that any particular one?
Target here is pretty bad for "collectables"

I love visiting the LACMA, but someone who's looking for toys on his vacation probably won't.

Then just goto the Peterson, that place is pretty cool and most collectors would dig it.

Just tryin to throw in some high-brow culture.

I appreciate your earlier post on places to visit but I never said I was looking for toys...

the LACMA sounds interesting as I studied Art at school... so you can keep these other posts to yourself... thanks
