2013 Urban Safari Hunting Hauls (Garage Sale, Thrift Stores, Craigs, Rummage...)

Splitty, I am curious on who that doll that is right next to the mask, dressed in black and has the moppy grey hair. That's the whole complete set of the vegetable friends isn't it?

That's a good question! I'm unsure!
It seems to be a vintage bendy doll. I thought it might be newer, because it's in such good quality, but the black jacket is faded on one side, so now I'm thinking older (plus they rarely make felt & nylon bendys anymore).
He reminds me of the Germany Sandmannchen (Sandman) style, but of course it's not from that.


It's almost the full set of vegatable/fruit friends! I had to look them up as soon as I got home. I have a box in storage with a few more, so I may have a full set and don't even know it. [edit] blast, no. I need the mushroom for sure, my favorite! (:o
They sure are cheerful.

No sales in the last two weeks. This is a mix of NY Comic Con and trip to NJ this past weekend.

The Crystal Castle I got at comic con. 98% complete. I figure I have all the MOTU playsets, I'd get it. Wouldn't touch She-Ra stuff as a kid.

Wow an Escape From New York board game who made that?

[Den82]

Yeah. TSR Hobbies made it.

Went to about 15 yard sales yesterday.
I am a big CONAN THE BARBARIAN collector.
What do I find for $2 dollars yesterday?
A original CONAN THE BARBARIAN movie poster from 1982 in a frame!
I went to a community yard sale and when i was driving past a house I saw it. I asked how much he told me (and of course my heart is beating while Im trying to stay cool).
So Im a Happy Camper!

Great find today in Goodwill:
Six Disney Treasures Tin DVD sets for $3.99 apiece...including the HTF SCARECROW OF ROMNEY MARSH! All the inserts & postcards were inside, although the actual tins got banged up a little by the Goodwill folks, the DVDs inside look like new.

My favorite episodes of Walt Disney were the Scarecrow, & I might just have to pop that in tonight for Halloween. McGoohan's laugh is chilling!

The old hidden auctions are still out there. Hit this beauty while up late one night. Total cost $6.02 delivered. All the Mego stuff is original. Couple of really nice Big Jim pieces including a Zordak hood and a Torpedo Fist arm.

Nice deal! The bolos goes to Big Jim The Whip and is a tough piece to find. The silver piece there is either a silver johnny West branding iron (it would have a letter on it) or a Big Jim Warpath arrow (it would have a wolfs head on it). I could use the blue Johnny West canteen if you wanna sell it?

You can tell garage season is over because this thread was hard to find!

Picked up this Gi Joe AT lot at flea market, probably paid too much but hopefully I can flip for some mego money or maybe a good mego trade. Sea wolf appears complete but there are parts probably missing from headquarters and mobile truck. records are high grade.
Other pic is working coin bank, i'm a sucker for japan tin toys...

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!! !

Got a lot of stuff at the auction last week, but this was the best:



Not complete and more broken parts than I would have liked, but I won it for only $100. The Flagg went for $100 while a Mego Spider-Man and Hulk with broken leg lot went for $124 and the rest of the Megos were hitting close to $200. Was in the twilight zone?

Been having a lot of luck with vinyl/records in the last 2 months...but today it was VHS day for me:













I've never seen a Star Wars 1st print in person, only on Ebay, and had to pinch myself when I saw it on the shelf. Not a Sailor Moon fan...but I figured it was worth the pick up just to flip on ebay. Galaxy Express 999 is probably going to stay in my personal collection. The last one I have no idea what it is...so anyone that may know it would be gladly appreciated to get some info on that one. Back of the tape just looked really cool. Now I have to test them on my machine. One last tap I found that will also be an ebay tape is Sleepaway Camp 2. Also found a few CD's that were made in Japan. Good day overall.

Great stuff Berto. I don't know much about the old VHS tapes. I had a chance today to pick up Superman The Movie 1, 2 & 3 in the original Warner Bros clams for $5 each but didn't know if it was worth it of not. I know some of the very rare movies can bring some money but still just don't know much about it.
Here are a few pick ups from last week and this morning.
1974 Wham-o Trac-Ball game $1 came with 4 balls originally but this one was missing 2 of them.


1981 Arnold Schwarzenegger Calendar $3


1973 Johnny Bench Poster .50 cents I was and still am a huge JB fan, growing up he was one of my idols. This thing is priceless to me.



Commodore VIC 20 computer the older brother to the Commodore 64 $5 no box but still in the original Styrofoam. Haven't tested it yet.



1982-84 Technics M258R cassette player/recorder $1 works perfectly. Originally was around $400 but now I'm not sure.



1950s Howard Miller World Clock $10 works and lights up great but the inner trim inside around the map is missing. Love this thing!

I love the clock! It would only take a small nudge and I could start collecting clocks.

I enjoyed the nice weather today and met a friend in town. We had lunch and stopped at our favorite thrift store. I got a Rubic's Race game, A Hershey Chockers game, a late 1950s Drueke Clapper (Shut the Box) game, a Mirrorkal puzzle, an illusion book, flannel graph characters (the kids in my sunday school class are amazed by this low-tech story-telling method), a marble house, and a shelf that I intend to turn into an On-The-Edge game for penny carnivals. All in all, not a bad way to spend $7.50.
