That's the point man. Record store, most teenagers these days go to the damn WalMart for music which is usually albums of greatest hits... at least for bands like Queen, Aerosmith, Twisted Sister, anything classic rock.
I may be 19, but I know WalMart won't carry what I like. So I go to a real record store to buy my music.

Actually... I go to smaller "record stores" all the time. I hardly ever see anything Queen there - only Greatest Hits and A Night at the Opera. I did get Hot Space from one, though - but I've never seen anything else since. There may be Queen VINYLS there, but I don't know since, as I have no working record player and am not a collector, I am not in the market for them.
BUT - I have found a GREAT selection of Queen-on-the-Shelves at... BEST BUY. They even have Queen and Queen II ! I was really surprised (since I hardly go in there).
Most of my stuff has been ordered from the local book store - taking about two weeks to get here and they're no even sure they can get it. But I'm not complaining since they've all gotten here (though Made in Heaven had a broken cover, which I replaced).

it does suck to be a Queen fan in the US! Well i go to a cd store where i find some Queen cds but i cant find t-shirts or any Queen vintage stuff! it really sucks
I got my Queen tee-shirts at Hot Topic. I would never have thought to go in that place, but... hey, they had them ! Also, a store that sells specifically tee-shirts, maybe ? - that's where I got my David Bowie shirt a couple years before Target had one.
Vintage stuff... Hm... I don't really know what you mean. I got a non-vintage poster at the local poster store. I got a button that has a picture from the same photo-shoot as the Queen album stuff off of eBay (my mom called her friend, and I explained to her husband that I wanted to buy a Queen button - not Queens of the Stoneage or Victoria). I got a music book for "Another one Bites the Dust" at a flea market (there were also magazines with Queen on the cover).
I don't know about where you live, but some good types of places are record stores, flea markets, eBay, and curiosity shops. You probably won't find anything at the mall (save the Hot Topic shirts). I see stuff at the vintage clothing store on University campus sometimes.

Yeah, ofcourse I knew that. I'm not thick in the head. But maybe theres alot more to it then you THINK.... And that part I didn't want to mention.
