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

[Marvelmania]

love those old school mini football helmets. Not an easy find. Those are either 60s or 70s because of the red Buffalo helmet

[Splitty]

Wow, you guys have been finding some good stuff lately.
Bahaha Michelob beer bottle flashlight. psych.

There were garage sales this last weekend, in the rain mist! (:O I'm surprised everybody didn't hide inside like ground hogs.

I stumbled across one of my most wanted sets I'm always peeking on ebay to find for cheap.
The McFarlane Where the Wild Things Are for $5 each! ($30 is waaay better than the $100 they usually go for nowadays..)

There's my most wanted Dungeons & Dragons Shambling Mound.
And a neat rare 50s/60s signal flashlight in really shiny chrome condition for $2, changes from red to clear.
A punching puppet for $2 that will soon be a MONSTER punching puppet as soon as I find the right monster head.
Everything else was .10 cents - $1 (and a free one-armed nutcracker for customizing).

Yep, I looked at the face and failed to check the body out.

flea market finds this morning...even with my gi joe accessory guide these are a pain to figure out what's what!
Gonna eventually post these for sale once I FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WHAT! aAAAH!

Nice lot! No the guy with the beard is not a Big Jim figure. That is a Super Joe figure.....commander I believe. The gold thing you have pictured there is also Super Joe and the black/yellow jumpsuit. The best piece you have there is that clam shell. That is from the GI Joe Jaws of Death set and it is pretty rare. I don't know what you gave for this lot but that 1 piece is probably worth more than you gave. The vulture is from the Fate of the Troubleshooter and a few other GI Joe sets. Also theres the troubleshooter solar panel and antenna. I see a few Johnny West cavalry pieces. The hard hat with lite is from the Lone Ranger Silver mine set I believe. The brown flat thing with ridges is the GI Joe Pygmy Gorilla boat seat. The white space helmet goes to Six Million Dollar Man. If you want to move that clamshell LMK.....I could give you a few "clams" for it....LOL.

Went to the auction in NJ again. This time around was a let down. Not many quality toys but there was a dream box. It it were multiple AT GI Joe figures in really nice shape and a Land Adventurer in the box. A Big Jim Karate guy in the box, Marx and Gabriel Lone Ranger stuff (horses, wagon, etc.) including a lot in boxes. I think there was some AJ outfits on the card.

Everyone wanted this box and it came down to me and other guy. My limit was $300 but I went as high as $450. A guy won it for $475. The only way I could get it is if I went to $500. It was pretty stupid.

Big Jeff doesn't have a beard, but Big Josh does. (I have those). Nice haul!

Dude with the beard is Big Jeff I believe. Also some Big Jim body parts. Love the GI Joe Pygmy Gorilla!

Just a heads up, Target dumped a bunch of clearance toys in Goodwill this week, I just found the Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Heroes 4 pack for $4.99.

[megocrazy]

Chima Lego 70009 open but complete for $24 at goodwill
Big Harry Potter castle open but complete $14 & Laserpeg set for $5 at a different goodwill

Believe I got $80 for my last loose, no box, Hogwarts. It was close to complete. Good score.

The Basilisk is like what Jabba the Hutt used to be from the SW sets. I broke the $50 mark on that one twice, before the market fell back. Still get between $20 and $30 on a good day.

I picked up a lot of monster high toys 14 dolls for 25.00 for my nieces all had the accessories and stands. With two boy dolls. Mike

Harry Potter LEGO sets at the Goodwill

I found an incomplete 4730 (Chamber of Secrets) for $6.99. With box and instructions. I only wanted the pieces, so it really didn't matter if it was complete, because the bricks were going to be used for other projects. Then, I realized that the unused minifigures were in demand. The set contained a few that were unique to that set only (basilisk and Gilderoy Lockhart) I parted out the figures and sold them for over 50 dollars. And I got to keep a large stash of generic grey and black bricks.

Hagrid's Hut (4707) almost complete for $2.49. It only took another $5.00 of unique parts (keys, baby dragon) from Bricklink to complete the set.

Hit a rare Thursday yard sale during the late afternoon after the rain had stopped. Nothing earthshaking but still some fun stuff. All in all a fun day. Tomorrow should be better.

Talking animated Rocky figure in the ring. He moves around his head, shoulders and fists and says about 5-7 different phrases. He tends to topple over easy but for $1 I couldn't pass him up.


It's a Michelob beer bottle ..... or is it? It's a working flashlight!!!!! 25 cents worth of coolness



Nintendo Zelda 2 game .50 cents, I have no way of knowing if it works or not but it's very clean.


finally one item that I really like. A rare Prince 1999 8 track tape, $1, you just don't find many 8 tracks from 1982.Plays super good despite the writing on the front.

[Werewolf]

That giant Weepul is wicked cool.
