Youre the man brother. Thanks for the tip. I'll be checking them out.

Which Hulk is the Rampaging Hulk? You talking about the museum green?

Laughing Ogre in Lansdowne (Leesburg), VA, Laughing Ogre in University Mall Fairfax, VA. They were formerly called Phoenix until they bought Laughing Ogre in OH.

I go to Lansdowne every week. PM me what you're looking for and I'll see if they got it.

No - The one where he's raising both fists to smash something. My only complaint w/ Barbarian is that they display statues kinda everywhere, just out in the open. The older ones seem kinda dusty.

In the same shopping plaze, there's an antiquated toy store which specializes in mostly used toys, models, trains, figures etc...from the 40's - 90's. I've found some great models there. He's kinda expensive but you can "negotiate". When are you planning on being here?

Vaultman, I gota ask - Why's "DC on your mind" did you grow up here? Live here? I'm a 3rd generation DCer (moved to a MD. suberb 10 years ago when I became a family man).

I took a job in DC back in June 2010, and the family and I live in Rockville!

When I saw the info under your screenname and saw "silver spring" I was like, hey I know where that is!

That's great! Hope you and your family are happy here. One day, I'm gonna try & get the locals over here or somewhere for a meet & greet.

Viers Mill Rd. will practically take you to Barbarian Books. It's in the middle of a center called Weaton Triangle. Not far from Rockville at all.
