    2018 Thrift/Garage/In The Wild Finds...

    Didn't see a thread started yet, may have missed it, so here goes nothin'

    My first find of this year and it was in a Comic Book Store during a Neal Adams signing last weekend. I was surprised at the price I got it for it was still there:



    The destroyer is basically Mint In Box. Have to dust it because it looks like it was sitting on the shelf for a long time...but it's complete with inserts, Poster, and Instructions. No crushes or dents on the box and basically yellowing tape on both sides of the box that can probably be peeled away without doing any damage to the box.

                  Loved the Destroyer as a kid. Such a HUGE toy, with lots of play value. Nice get!

                  And the Superman soundtrack! Without that nasty "ring" you get from the album being pressed into the sleeve. Nice.

                    Found this creepy little sucker and couldn't pass it up. I hate having this thing in the house...




                    He needs a little bit of a cleaning to the face and clean off some of the dust/grime on his sneakers. Anyone interested in him...I would trade for Mego/AHI and other vintage lines. Have I said how much he creeps me out lol.

                        The My Buddy Dolls are very common and probably worth around $20 in that condition. They were more collectible years ago before the flood of official Chucky merchandise.
                        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...

                          I found this recently at a thrift store. I knew it was from the Star Wars prequels but I wasn't sure exactly what it was called which I found out it's called the Clone Turbo Tank. A complete one even loose goes for a decent amount of wampum online and although this one is missing two somewhat major pieces and some assorted smaller ones I couldn't pass it by for a five spot.

                              I had to look up what this vehicle exactly was on rebelscum and you are right. Someone on ebay had a complete one and they were asking $240. It came with a figure and another figure on a Barc speeder bike so I'm not sure whether the seller had those items with it as well or not. Then another seller had one in MIB and they had $450 on it. Let's just say when I found this the Force was with me. It's missing some missiles and the cargo door that houses the speeder bike and a turret gun on top. The turret gun is going to be difficult to find, I can already tell as I found a cargo bay door for it and the missiles don't seem too hard a grab right now.
