Good game shops in KC

I posted in the Shmupmeets thread about being in Kansas City, MO this coming weekend but got no love. As such, I thought I'd open it up to this bunch to see if anyone knows of good game shops (or pawn/thrift shops w/ good selection). Mostly I'd be looking for anything PSX/Saturn or back. The only current-gen system I have is GameCube, and unless Chaos Field has been released in the US (or they have a SNS2 game & boot-loader disc), I probably wouldn't be looking for anything in that arena. Anyway, are there good gaming purchases to be had in KC?

Well, since no one replied to this I did some checking myself. There's a "mom `n pop" chain called Game X Change - they have a good location off Noland Avenue in Kansas City (Lee's Summit area). In any event, I found some good stuff. I picked up Axelay, Gradius III, & Darius Twin for SNES, Whip Rush for Genesis, Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth for N64, and Legendary Axe for TG-16. All-in-all it was a good day for gaming purchases. Also, if anyone's interested, I found an arcade cab of 19XX: The War Against Destiny @ a pizza place called "Dish Famous Stuffed Pizza" off Hwy 152 in Kansas City as well. It played like a dream.
