As some of you know here, I dabble in MOTU Origins, only picking things up in the wild that scratch that nostalgia itch. Well, my daughter found a heck of a deal at BIDFTA for the Battle Armor He-Man and Battle Cat set, which she got for $12.
We then went to The Great Ohio Toy Show, and I was focused on vintage stuff, but I managed to make it out with two Origins pieces I wanted, but hadn't picked up. Right before closing, I was browsing a booth with a lot of modern MOTU merchandsie, and the lady said "If there's anything you're intersted in, it's half-price". Well, they had the Masterverse 40th Anniversary He-Man already marked $20, so it was $10. I couldn't pass that up!
As I was paying, I looked over at something there that had caught my eye earlier that day. A loose, complete (minus the Sorceress) Origins Castle Grayskull for $60. I asked "Is Grayskull half off too?" IT WAS!!! I couldn't believe it, and neither could my wife when I walked up holding that baby.
On our way back home, we stopped at a Walmart about an hour from our house. I found the Walmart exclusive flocked Panthor for $8! I joked I should go play the lottery, but take my old HG Toys Power Sword with me for good luck! As you can see below, I found a few other modern toys, at nutso prices. I got the Scarlet at Gamestop for $11.
Sorry to gloat, but I have had a pretty rough time lately, and this weekend really boosted my spirits and reginited a lot of collector fires. I saw some wonderful vintage toys at that massive show, and bought some great things as well!
