The Fantasy Factory - Lakeland, FL

Let's say you're somewhere between Tampa and Orlando and looking for an LCS, where do you go? It's very simple really, go visit The Fantasy Factory in Lakeland!

I was staying in Bartow and managed to get this shop on my route heading to Tampa Int'l Airport. It was pretty easy to find (the GPS didn't mess with me this time) but it could really use a sign by the entrance or similar. Looks like there might have been one up at some point though, have a look at the picture.

Parking was great, plenty of customer parking spaces.

I really didn't expect much but as soon as I stepped through the door it was a genuine EUREKA! experience. This place was huge with a ton of comics, figures, movie and game related items. I was utterly compelled to go through everything... eeeeeeverything. I love that feeling. Their comics selection is very good with the only gap being back issues. They have plenty of new releases and trades along with posters and shirts to fill it with though.


I picked up The Magdalena #1, the Hasbro Series 2 Thor action figure and a Thor by Coipel & Djurdjevic poster.



I had a blast here, check it out if you're in the area!
