    Fun Day At The Thrifts.....

    Put in a full day of thrifting today and came up with a pretty good score:



    $4.99 each!

    The Dark Tower is in immaculate condition--complete and looks hardly played with.

    The Star Bird Command Base looks clean and complete too! This one is going in my collection--my Star Bird now has a home!

    Fun day!

    That starbird is cool as heck. The dark tower games were prone to not work. I remember alot of people had to send them back to get fixed including us. Neat game though. I sold my Dark Tower game for about $200 with the box a few years ago.

        Yeah, I've known that Dark Towers is a $$$ game for 10+ years now. I've always kept my eyes open at sales and thrifts however this is the first one I have found. It's super cool and I would love to keep it but I'm gonna sell it. The Command Base, on the other hand, stays in the collection!

            Dark Tower! I should buy my friends someday. He has the same one from back when we were kids. Love that game.
            Congrats on the super score.

                  DARK TOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!! My sis and I used to LOVE that game! We were talking about it a few years ago and when I went to look one up, I was surprised to see they are pretty $$$$! You may have multiplied your $4.99 inestment MANY times over if prices for that game are still as they were a few years ago!
                  Congrats!

                    Really nice grabs. I have my DT from childhood, but it's missing some pieces. Love that game.

                    My buddy had Command Base, but I only remember seeing the ship.

                      Whoa! Dark tower! That's insane. I hate you.

                      No, I'm kidding. Congrats, that's an amazing haul.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                          Awesome stuff! I wonder how they cram all of the panels for that playset into that small box? I'd love to see it spread-out...

                            It's made of cardboard, not plastic.

                              Couple more pictures of todays scores. Along with the Dark Tower I found this Parker Brothers game:



                              And at another thrift I found 23 character glasses for 98 cents each--Flintstones, Howdy Doody, Archies, Bugs Bunny etc etc.....
