4cs Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 We operate a small souvenir gift shop in a beach town in Michigan. The town is packed from Memorial Day thru Labor Day and the town only has a junky toy shop (with no LEGO). I've thought about adding a few display cases with individual minifigures, packs of Collectible Series minifigures, smaller sets (polybags) and the like to satisfy those parents looking to keep their kids happy. I wouldn't have room for large sealed sets, and I'm not sure the market would be there for those. Anyone have any experience or war stories to share from brick & mortar retail? Or even convention sales? I'm trying to figure out what items would be most in demand, etc. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justapilgrim Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Sounds like a good idea. Troll Target or WM clearance for the best deals.You might look into ordering some custom torsos with a Michigan logo or something. Not too expensive.
