I however managed to snag a box of micronauts under the table, priced $3 for all ... I another guy I know was walking around with a diecast Hulk MIB in his hand and said, hey you want this? Sure for $25, Thanks Marcus! Maggie saw a box of doll clothes and they are all vintage Barbie and Ken clothes, $3... Next stop I got the Batman doll, Corgi Batmobile box (no insert), 1979 Black Barbie MIB, Sasha Doll MIB, Golden Girl and outfits MIB, Atomic Man, Topper Soldier, ROTJ MOC, Bionic Woman and Maggie got a Baby Doll total $55... Sasha should be $100+ ... Good day picking, on the way back I got 1990's Trendmasters Godzilla MOC and MIB for under $2 each and a Bunch of Playmates Star Trek Ships MIB for $8 each including Borg Ship and a Ton of Jurassic Park stuff MIB for $5 each...

Hey! I have that Zoom record! Nice haul!

Here's my haul from yard sale-ing yesterday (sorry about the crappy cell phone pic) --

ZOOM Record
Muppet Babies carrying case
Garfield's 20th Anniversary book
Set of 6 Tom and Jerry and friends cookie cutters from 1956
A bag full of mostly Sesame Street figures (including a Grover finger puppet)

Paid $4.75 total. Not too bad!

PM'd you about the gun. Pretty sure I have one. Missing 3 pieces of armor. May have 1 or 2 but not the square rudder armor. The box shows a picture of all the armor. That's a very sweet score.

Not finding anything at Garage/Yard Sales...but my thrift store has been good to me recently. Today it was especially good to me:

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-O...01/Jetfire.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-O...fire+Armor.jpg

Found a few other items like a complete Charlies Angels Puzzle, VHS WWF Survivor Series with the Hulk Hogan anti-smoking insert card, 6 Baseball Yearbooks from 1970 - 73 (Reds '70 and '71, Phillies '73, San Francisco Giants '73, LA Dodgers '73, Boston Red Sox '73), 3 New York Nets ABA Playoff Programs (71/72 (2) and 73/74 with Dr. J) and a New York Jets Yearbook from 1972 with Joe Namath and John Riggins on the cover. Also found a few 45's and 5 LP's. But the thing that blew me away was the fact that I found a Boxed Jetfire. I had to do a double take when I originally went by it. Pickin' has been slim at this thrift store for a while.

I may be bringing the Jetfire to the Meet. Not really much of a 80's Toy person. Anyone know what's missing from Jetfire? I know the gun is missing...but don't know anything about Transformers. BTW, Jetfire is white...only thing that has yellowed is one of the hands. You can probably see it in one of the pics.

I left stuff behind too. They had an Einstein Electronic game still in the box and 2 hand held football games...one was a head to head and the other was Electronic Quaterback. Also left behind a whole bunch of VHS's I know I could flip easily on ebay...and the fees wouldn't even hurt

I do love that Mighty Men & Monster maker. Always wanted one as a kid. Nice.

[EMCE Hammer]

I would have scarfed that up. My son and I are always grabbing bits and pieces from other lines and drafting them into service for SW and superheroes. If you have any thrashed he-man stuff with good torsos let me know. I still use them to frankenstein together bulky bodies. I just picked-up the black spider-looking thing with all six orange legs for $1.99 on my lunch hour. Austin displays his custom Venom in it and it looks pretty cool.

Bought an 80s toy graveyard today at a sale. $5 a box = $15. Lots of destroyed He Man and what not but some salvageable junk floating around--a bunch of Battle Beasts and Robo Force guys and just random 80s obscure action figure junk.....

I used to love that monster maker as kid, hours and hours of fun!!
