Re: KO's in toronto?

Huh, that's a good question. I'd like to know if there are any good Toronto spots for KOs in general, binaltech or otherwise. I'd love to get some practice kitbashing on something cheap first....

Re: KO's in toronto?

have you guys tried "chinatown"?when wifey and i were up there last year for tfcon we went all around chinatown and found lots of ko's,some even looked like they were done back in the late 80's early 90's.you basically want to find the smaller stores that sell nick nacks more than anything.also,look behind stuff like i did and you may find some hidden gems!!!!!

Re: KO's in toronto?

Yeah, I went to Pacific Mall once and looked around, I didn't really find much in the way of KOs. I found a Superion KO in a flea market once, but only one...

I'm sure there are better areas, I just need someone to point me somewhere and say: check out these stores (or this general area/mall.

Re: KO's in toronto?

While I ain't a resident in Toronto, I was there not to long ago and Pacific Mall had one store that had plenty of TF Bootlegs and the famed Binaltech ones too ($28 bucks), they are one of the stores that is on the same "row" as the card shop.... if you know what I mean..........
