I'm wondering what happened to "Fantastic Toys". I remember going in there once with my dad and seeing all these Beast Wars and Beast Machines figures that I wanted, but I never asked him to buy them for me. Mind you, this wasn't too long ago -- I'd say 2005. Whenever I'm being driven to my mom's travel agency at Gulfview Mall, however, I never see it where it used to be on US 19 by "Wood You". What happened? did they close? Or move?
If you happen to live in that area, please help me out. Much appreciated.

Nope, I'm in Tampa.
However, I do believe that WheelJack 35 is over that way.

There were two toy dealers in that area: Fantastic Toys, who closed his "storefront" but still sells on ebay (AFAIK) and occasionally at toy shows like FX; and that other dealer down by Wood You. (I can't remember his store name as I only went there once or twice.) Fantastic Toys had the huge (awesome!) Fantastic Four mural on the wall behind the counter. The other guy I do remember had lots of TFs.

So they no longer have stores in Port Richey. Bummer.

No, but there are some comic shops still around. Colossal and Yancy Street. They usually have some toys, mostly of the superhero persuasion, and the Diamond Select "you can't just buy these at Walmart" kind of stuff.

Meh, I've got Emerald City for that sort of thing.
I can't seem to find Fantastic Toys on eBay. Could you link me?

Well I do hit Yancy st but as I said in the pm...The "Fantastic Toys" was cool but the guy who owned it had the personality of a slug
Hell I noticed that Emerald city and there is another in Tampa that are actually showing commercials on TV
I never seen comic stores advertise on TV before
It aired during Star Trek
