If you're into comics, there's a number of good comic stores in New York.
Midtown comics is the main one, with three locations - main one is in Times Square. Or Forbidden Planet on Broadway.
The dollar isn't going to do you many favours at the moment though. I found that most things would have ended up being cheaper if I had bought them locally.

Forbideen Planet is a great one as well. Went there in 2011 and it was awesome! St Mark's looks like to check out as well. Have a blast in NYC!
How are you getting about in LA?
Idk how easy it is to get to with public transport, but If you can make it I'd highly reccomend Frank & Son collectables show. It runs every Wednesday and Saturday.
It's huge, and - at least when I went in 2009 - there was heaps of transformers stuff, Hasbro and Takara.
LA
Lobos... near lax
Puzzle zoo - there two in la area i liked the santa monica one
Any Target - i got my wave 4s there
Kmart - i got my insecticon set here and motor master
Nyc
Forbidden plant - didn't have much when i was there (august)
Image anime - only place i saw mps
Tru - main one not much but the store is huge so go there last i suggest
Tru theres a tru express they actually have better stock then flagship ... flagship too busy and restock not in time blah blah
I got the most my stuff in canada giving the aud vs usd. At least aud vs canadian dollar was better.
Hope this helps
I remember going to TRU
I had to choose between a 25th anniversary optimus or an Armada Unicron as my Christmas present. To this day I wish I chosen Unicron.
Thanks guys for the info much appreciated. I read about a few of the places you guys have mentioned forbidden planet sounds very cybertron haha. I have 2 suitcases to fill so I'll see how I go
