Hey everyone,
I'm new the boards and just got back into collecting and have been picking up quite a few Mattel figures lately including Daniel Bryan, Orton/Sheamus 2-Pack, CM Punk, Jericho, and the Elite Ziggler. I was wondering if there are any other collectors in Charlotte, NC and if there are any comic book shops or stores that carry figures at all?
I am about to order some of the wwe display stands and have a nice setup in a book shelf unit with a display light so once I get a little bit more of a collection I'll be sure to post some photos. Also, I am originally from Connecticut and will be going back to visit and will be sure to grab some of my figures from my childhood and see if there are any hidden gems in there.

I've lived in Charlotte and may go down there this Christmas to visit my mom. Haven't been down there since 2007 though.

I live outside of Cameron NC (Hardy Boy Country!) But if you ever feel like taking a country drive, there are 2 of us near this area. I met WF member raven not to long ago and he is about a hour from me. Which I had previously thought before I met him there was someone around me that was a serious collector because the Flash Back Elites would always be gone from the pegs the day they were put out. I thought another adult collector was close by because there was no way those figures were selling that fast haha.

I'm from Winston Salem, specifically the North end, I'm about an hour and half from Charlotte if there's no traffic.

I'm from Lexington, but figure hunt in the Concord/Kannapolis area from time to time. Since you live in the Charlotte area, do you go to any PWX shows?

It looks like it moves all over NC during the year. Usually the same guys who put this show on do the show in Hickory as well. I don't think I've ever paid attention to the name of the show, but that's probably it. I went to the one in Greensboro in the fall last year and scored an Elite 3 Santino for $10. You'll find plenty of vendors who are motivated enough to get rid of their stuff and have obviously never looked at Ebay or Amazon or they would have seen that high crest Santino was riding value wise last year. Anyway, I ended up trading it because I didn't really want it that bad to another booth at the show along with another $10, and got RSC SES CM Punk. So $20 for Punk which had already jumped to $50 right before selling out on Ringside. I can't stress enough how much it is worth it to go to this show! |

I'll be going without a doubt after reading that. It's always nice to find the best/most unexpected deals in random places. |
