Any Toy Stores in L.A/O.C area that sell Weta?

I currently live in Orange County and I have been to a dozen toy stores around this area and in L.A but to no avail, none selling any Weta LOTR.

Don't know about OC, but in LA there is the Puzzle Zoo on 3rd St Promenade in Santa Monica and in the Century City mall. They don't have a lot though and you'll pay full MSRP for anything they do have. Back in February they had a great window display of most of the statues, but they must have sold them all.

Echobase Toys in Temple City has the 12" action figures and maybe a Gandalf the Grey statue they've had since he first came out.

Other than that, I don't know of any.

Hi Dave,
Wasn't that display at Puzzle Zoo great?! It was there for a couple of years. I got Viggo's auto across the way at Midnight Special before TTT came out. I remember just staring at them all with my face pressed against the glass like a little kid!

I was in there last week. Soooo boring without them all...

The display was great, but PZ's prices are always outrageous. Or in the case with the statues full price, which is outrageous from a retailer.

Oh, I know. Did you see the two Pippin busts with their faces completely chipped? I can't believe their still for sale, much less at full price.
