I never find anything worth mentioning in the local thrift stores. Its usually modern childrens toys or barbies. I'm beginning to think its this area, but this is suppose to be a military town. (People always coming and going) -
I like to buy the baggies full of miscellaneous action figures, and I almost always end up with a toy penguin in one of them. At some point I realized these guys would make good minions for "The Penguin" (The Batman villain), so now I save them all and am building up a penguin army.Leave a comment:

Batmobiles.
During the summer I always pick up a few of the newer Batmobiles (at least two or three Tumblers) from kids who got fed up with them, and then sell them at conventions to "bigger kids".Leave a comment:

Lots of the Hess trucks, yeah...loose and/or nekkid Bratz, paper jamz guitars & etc, stuffed animals, partial Fisher price toys, disney Princess stuff...well it'll be easier to tell you what I DON'T see...MEGOS.
And what is it now with Goodwill & the lot marking this stuff at Ebay pricing? Used to find stuff at a buck or two, now you pick up a game & it's marked $10 or $20. Of course, it sits there until the unsupervised kids have trashed it trying to open it from the packing tape the store wrapped around it. I can get somebody higher up deciding that if someone is gonna flip it for more, it should be them, but wouldn't it make more sense to sell it for $2 than trash it later? They do have a website to sell things, but from what I hear the bidding is pretty suspect.Leave a comment:

Those new 2000s generation cheap My Little Ponies (not the new animated ones) who have really bad quality hair that poofs up into a matted scrub brush apparently as soon as you open the package....Leave a comment:

Hess Trucks! My Gawd those things are everywhere! Every flea market, every antique shop, every yard sale, they're wall to wall. Also die-cast truck banks from Ertle.Leave a comment:
