First visit to the US. Looking for a good electronics store...

[Lord Vicious]

Hi guys,

My girlfriend and I are going to the US for the first time in two weeks. Excited!!! We're going to Florida for about three weeks to be precise.

We're planning to buy some electronics like a GoPro and a new laptop and were wondering what the best store is to buy stuff like that, price/quality-wise? Best Buy? Wallmart?

All tips are welcome

Vicious here is a list of good stores to look at

Best Buy
Apple Store
HH Greg
Walmart ( For Super Cheap Laptops, but they are usually not very modified just stock )

Thanks mate!! Will sure check them out...

Got two other Florida-related questions you can maybe help me with as well?:

- I've never visited a real authentic, big-ass IMAX theatre before. I saw there are several in Florida, but is there one you would recommend? (Was thinking of the one in Universal Citywalk, Orlando)
- Any good toy stores where I could find Hot Toys/Sideshow stuff?

As for IMAX--not all IMAX theaters are actual IMAX theaters, some just use a regular theater and upgrade the projector but the screen stays the same size, still better image quality than the regular theater but not the same experience.

Ok My Friend There is only 2 that i know of The Imax Theater In Tampa at "Channelside" and then the actual IMAX DOME down at Tampa's "Museum of Science and Industry" off of a road called Fowler Ave. next to University Mall.....as all thing google it. its about 1 hr and 15 min from Orlando and it is the only true true imax dome plus the museum is AMAZING..

As far as only Hot Toys Store goes check out or google Man Of Action Figure....they are based in Miami Florida or Emerald City Comics in Clearwater FL, clearwater is about 1 hr 30 min from Orlando Miami is about 4 hrs south. Beautiful lime of year beaches are hot to trot and views are incredible so driving is an enjoyment and not a task while going.

If you're in the Orlando area, there used to be a shop in Downtown Disney that had a lot of Sideshow stuff. Can't speak for Hot Toys, though, and it's been five years since I was there. (A bit depressing, really. They had a complete 1/6 Jabba and Throne with all of the accompanying figures in the window. It had all been thoroughly bleached by the sun.)

Thanks for all the info guys!
We're in Florida around the time Godzilla is released in cinemas, so would love it to go see that in IMAX somewhere. Excited!
