Vacation USA

[Jakks UFC Junkie]

After planning from the begining of the year me and my girlfriend are finally going on our first international vacation to the United States for one month throughout mid June to mid July. We will be in Las Vegas for a few days to start things off, then we head over to LA, and from there go to New York, and whilst staying in New York we are going to travel down to Philly for the day. Then once all that is done it's back to LA for 2 final nights then head back home to Aussie.

Big question i have guys is what stores should i look out for to buy figures from and overall what sights are there to see as a MMA fan? Also any general advice for the trip is greatly appreciated as well. Thanks guys.

Not sure about sights... Vegas will have the most out of most places as far as UFC goes....

Now stores.... K-Mart has the most that I have seen as far as Jakks figures. They have a ton of Series 6 and some from each series back from that. They also have the belts and the Mir/Lesnar UFC 100 octagon. Oh and some have the Randy/Chuck 2 Pack. They also have some R5 figs especially Series 1.

Toys R Us is hit or miss.... They have some figs but it's always different. I have never seen Series 6 or 7 at the ones by me. They do carry the Live R5 figs and some other R5 stuff as well as the Micro sets.

Target atleast by me only has Series 7 Jakks... If they have a few older figs they are half priced... And no R5 stuff.

Wal-Mart has nothing anymore.

K-Mart is your best bet honestly because no one has the older stuff, but K Mart has some Series 3 Jakks figs.
K Mart is also always stocked with UFC stuff... More so than anywhere else.

Hope that helps.... I'll post more if I think of it.

Anyone after certain figs, just let me know i'll be on the look out and i'll gladly take time out of my vacation to post figures for you.

I'm only two days away from my trip and i could not be more excitied! I'll be posting little photos here and there if any of you guys are interested so you can follow me along my way on vacation.

Oh and just to get back on topic about UFC figures, i recieved my Platinum Chuck & Fan Expo Kimbo i won off eBay today. How awsome is the detail on Kimbo figure? And Platinum Chuck just looks cheap like somebody spray painted a regular Chuck Liddell figure with chrome paint lol.

Here is some of my findings from the Toys R Us in Las Vegas yesterday, i've always wanted the Bring It On figures and they only been released in the United States so i was very pleased to pick all of these up and hopefully more soon. Not to mention how bad they charge online for some strange reason!? Oh well made this purchase all the more sweeter!


Oh and heres a sign from where we are staying at the MGM Grand Hotel of the upcoming UFC event (so wish we could stick around for it but doesnt matter i just might make it out to New York for the UFC Octagon Nation Tour instead.)

[KennyD1988]

I'm glad you can find figures you couldn't find back home. Must be exciting to walk into a store and see these! Keep us updated!

Heck yeah, when I first saw it, I'm not gonna lie I thought it was series 8, and was like OMG TRU tomorrow. I want that UFC 132 poster. You should see if they have extra's they sell.

[Jakks UFC Junkie]

They probably do but it would be hard for me to keep hold of it in good condition because im sure it would get crushed in my luggage no matter what. But if it wasnt for that then i totally would get one. However there is a awsome Sports Memrobilia store i'm going to today that has plenty of UFC signed photos and mini event posters that look pretty cool.

More photo's coming soon...
