Buffalo and NYC are nowhere near each other  about 8 hours away. I hate that when I tell people I am from Buffalo and they say, oh, go to the city often?

I will be up there at the end of the month, will get better details as time get closer. Anyone ever near the store needs to go, you will never see so many models in one spot. Jason

Egpyt is so so now, compared to Uncle Rick's, now a juice bar but let's just say it's inappropriate for the younger children on here  :d/ Jason let me know when you'll be here, I would be more than happy to meet up with you there if you're interested!

Yes there were little shops that carried many vintage NZG and Conrad models and I am not sure if they are back up and running because these places were pre 9/11 and these places were affected that day... these shops do exist but you have to do a little foot work but on many side streets in the NYC from 54th st on the west side down in that area you never know what you might find if you need any specific info I can try and help you
Hope this helps Mike
