WI to FL Roadtrip Suggestions - Sideshow Retailers

I am planning a roadtrip from Wisconsin to Florida in a few weeks and I am looking for some comic/toy stores that offer a good range of statues (statues, etc.)

I know there isn't much, of anything, in WI or IL, but I am hoping there are some retailers beyond that, that actually have some statues to see in person.

Any suggestions?

Here is a sample of our route: milwaukee-chicago-indianapolis-louisville-nashville-chattanooga-atlanta-valdosa

Oh dear Lord that's a LONG trip!
Ha you're coming to Nashville! Watch out for Monteagle Mountain between Nashville and Chattanooga. There's a reason why it's mentioned in Smoky & the Bandit.

Nashville area has several good stores: there are multiple Replay Toys stores in the area, and they carry Sideshow stuff. Rick’s also has Sideshow stuff.

If you can add in Knoxville, Comics Exchange also carries them.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

You mentioned Florida…if you’re going to be in palm beach county you will find a lot of Sideshow statues in a store called Past Present Future Comics. They usually have about 24-30 statues on display and some XM and P1 also.

They also have a location in Broward County. Also, in Fort Lauderdale you will find Tate’s Comics. You can find rare treasures in there sometimes.

Another place in Hollywood Florida is Korka Comics, the owner isn’t allowed to buy from Sideshow but many times he will sell from his personal collection…again rare finds here and there.

Let me know if you need more suggestions.

Sounds like a... nightmare, lol.

I am going with my boyfriend. He has driven this multiple times. He is a big cave explorer, so we will be hitting up places with caves. But I want to hit up comic and statue stores then.

Keep them coming. I will be pin pointing all these locations

Thanks for all the recommendations so far.
I might have to do a digital scrapalbum of places we hit.
