    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.

    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".

    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.

    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....
