    Thrift store find (MEGO)

    I went to an old thrift store I used to frequent all the time and found some cool treasures. I stopped going here about 10 years ago because they were taking the good stuff and selling it on ebay. In the 90's I found many treasures here. I've stopped in over the years and never found anything good. The one time I found something the cashier said to another employee, I can't believe Cindy put this out, she usually keeps all the good stuff. The store has new owners and everything is going to the floor. Here's a list of what they had in bags: Evil Knievil figure, battlestar galactica figures, clash of the titans figures, gijoe figures, and this little bag of goodies. Needless to say it made my day to find a treasure in the wild, just like the old days. At first I just noticed the micronauts.That's an orange brain membros a little harder to find than the green brain version. I was talking to Dave Lee on the phone and noticed the batgirl cowl. The best $1.81 I ever spent.

              I am always looking for things like that at the second hand store but alas no luck.
              Good for you!!!
              I just got a line on some apes at a used toy store here but the owner is on holidays so they told me to come back next week... wish me luck.

                Heck, at that kind of price you should have risked getting a few of the other bags, You never know, something good may have been mixed in those as well. Still it's a great feeling to find something when you know the odds are huge against you. The last wild find I had was a house sale, up in a small bedroom were a few boxes of toys and I saw a Spiderman foot sticking up. I grabbed the foot and pulled only to find a suit with 2 type 1 legs still in it. I didn't have time to go through the box there so I bought it for $10, alas, that was all that was in the box.

                    That's a nice little grab bag you bought.

                            Dude, you are on FIRE lately. I never find anything worth a crap at thrift stores around here. Happy Meal toys and naked modern 12" Joes and knockoffs are all I ever see.

                              Great score!

                              Yeah, decent toy thrift pulls are less and less these days. I hit 30+ thrifts every week and I'm lucky to find 10 decent things per year.

                              If you're a casual thrift goer, FORGET ABOUT IT!
