    Thrift store swag from today...

    Been a long time since I got a real score from my local thrift store...Check it out. The Model Kit is still sealed with an Alexander's price tag on it:







    Offering them up here on the Museum first before I go the Ebay route. Open to reasonable offers for individual as well as the entire lot.

    Nice score, someone must've cleaned out the attic and got rid of a Kiss collection.

                I think even I would have bought that KISS model.

                      What I found really amusing was that there were 2 people following me throughout the store just waiting for me to put the Puzzles and Van down. The one guy stuck out like a sore thumb...he was wearing a Kiss Destroyer T-Shirt Guess my timing was perfect to pick up the van and puzzles.

                        I have been a KISS fan since the beginning. My parents said they would never last! I would love to find a score like that. Congrats!

                            Cool stuff

                            I remember seeing a Black Hole Cygnus model (in beat box) at my local thrift store for like $5.00 ... maybe 15-ish years ago

                            I still regret not getting it.

                              Really?

                              I have one in my basement!




                              Complete in a box...however...not sealed with plastic.

                              Man...I gotta go down there...and find it...
