Seems like I'll be here for a few weeks.

Any stores come to mind?

Thanks,

Dan

Used to be one in Metairie called Galactic Games but that was pre-Katrina.

Thanks. I'll keep looking, or I may just have some things sent to my hotel.

Strange to see such few local resources in a metro area this size.

Keep in mind that New Orleans was all but wiped off the map by Katrina. It may be a big city, but in many respects New Orleans is less than a decade old.

There is a 54mm store in the French quarter (Le Petit Soldat?). The original owner sold to a woman who seems much more into various collectibles, among them some 54mm figures.

But none of the stuff was ever gaming things, unless you game with Imrie-Risley figures.

As for few local resources, NYC has almost none. Only Starbucks and mobile phones can afford the extortionate commercial real estate prices.

I hear ya. I understand that all too well. But I lived in New Orleans in the 80s and the options were slim to none then too.
