Whoa

Was watching a video on YouTube from someone called Star Wars Junk. It seems he found a vintage Star Wars Kenner figure in the wild at a K-Mart going out of business. I thought maybe it was staged or something but the video shows him scanning it at one of K-Mart's price check scanners and it rang up for something like $3.99. Figure was only a Return of the Jedi Gammorean Guard but how nuts is it to actually find a figure from 1983 still sitting on the pegs?

Sheesh. That seems incredible and...wow! Would you post the video or the YouTube link to it?

if true must be old warehouse stock

Probably found in the warehouse or under a rack or something... Our local Kmart is also closing, which sucks, but I had wondered if any old toys might show up there.

Here's the video:

Wow... that is genuinely amazing.

Just watched the video....NEAT! I may see a few more example of this sort of thing at K-Marts.

I jokingly wondered if something like that could happen when the nearest K-Mart went out. When Children's Palace closed in the early 90s, there was some late 70s AHI Spider-Man Stunt Cycles on an endcap (I only bought one, because I'm dumb), no doubt pulled from the stock room for the first time in well over a decade.. But that was really only 15 years old or so. But 30 years? SHEESH!!!

That's just nuts, I've dreamed of something like this happening but considered it to be unlikely. Makes you wonder what else is hiding in some of those old, decrepit K-marts.
