I've heard of this place a while back, when I was more avid about collecting Halo 3 stuff... I forgot about this place and the thought of them carrying muggs. Might go check it out soon. Did your friend say how much the muggs were?

the muggs are a bit overpriced actually pretty over priced average 15 bucks BUT you are guaranteed the one you want so if you want the satisfaction of finally getting THE one instead of the constant disappointment of not finding it it may be worth it

I went there while I was on my trip to california in July. Interesting place to say the least. And if you are looking for harder to come by stuff then it is definately the place to go, but you will pay for it.

i work in that area and checked it out last night. most muggs range between $15-$20 with most of them available. saw a venom go for $60 and a few more without prices as i got there pretty late. didn't see any sdcc iron man either. going back on sat early to check out the other stuff.

Ahh okay yea, most places that have muggs are $15-$20 for the ones you usually see in store. I'll go there on Saturday too, I think they were 9-5 or 6... pfft Venom for $60 is ridiculous. When will it end!! @_@ lol

Okay, I went to this place on Saturday... omg so far from my house! Ack! But it was worth it... I got my Ackbar and Shadowtrooper for $35 which I would have ordered off EE for like $34 but would have to wait for shipping and not know the condition of the box. Venom was $60 at like 3 different booths. I got some Revoltechs out there too for my bf. Were $22-$26 so no real savings there... Frank and Sons is pretty much like a tiny version of the comic con exhibit hall area. Just that half of it is like sports collectibles. It's really worth checking out if you can make it out there. Bonus is that there's a Walmart, Toys R Us, and Target right off the 60 like 2 miles down. :) Hehehee!

:D NICE! I live in the LA area, and I know where diamond bar is. But I just have a couple of questions...
1. Why is it only open on Wednesdays and Saturdays?
2. Isin't Diamond Bar where the fires were?
Other than that, COOL:D

1. idk why...
2. Yea, but everything is okay now..
lol yea its a nice place to find all sorts of collectibles... you can haggle them a couple bucks all you want but they aren't going to give you stuff dirt cheap. Also, there's a store in the Montebello Town Center that sells cool toys (xTreme Toys)... not really a good selection on muggs though. But you can call and ask... xTreme Toys # (http://www.montebellotowncenter.com/store.asp?id=7136). There's also a KB Toys in that mall. Right off the freeway.
