Hello everyone! I'm new to collecting Pop! but let me say this is becoming an addictive collection. I was wondering if anyone is from the Ohio, preferably the Northeast area, and knows of any good shops to find Pop!'s. Barnes and Noble and the Disney Store are the only stores that I have found to carry them and although they have a decent selection they are not close to my house (I did find a Thor bobble-head at the B&N a couple of days ago that was 35 minutes from house ).

I have called or visited all the local comic book shops (which are rare) and they have no idea what I am talking about when I ask if they carry Funko Pop! lol. I know that I can buy online but I like to see what I am getting in person if I can, sometimes shipping isn't nice on these precious Pop!'s. So if someone can help me out or has a recommendation for a good online site that is reasonable I would be more than appreciative.

Thank you! :D

Welcome to the community, What you have listed seems to be the only places I have seen anything, primarly disney stores. I am from Cincinnati and good luck with your adventure I to am looking for the pops but trying to find the monster pops seems to be impossible.... PS if you have kids or nephews dont take them to disney store and show the pops you will have to rent a uhaul to get out of there.......LOL love to see funko and love getting newphews hooked on funko

Dayton area here. Locally only one comic store carried a good selection of Pop!s, and we don't even have a Disney store here. So that means an hour drive to Columbus or Cincinnati to go to one of those. While there we also look around the comic book stores in the areas but not anything too big going on in our area either. Indianapolis has been the city we had the best luck with, so if you are down for traveling I would say look for other large cities in your area. If not then the best sites I have used for buying have been....
