    Finally, a garage sale score...sort of...

    So I'm running errands in town today, and low and behold I see the sign - "Garage Sale - Dolls". I did what any man would do and pulled an illegal U-turn, took a deep breath and went inside. Apparently the lady died or something and her friends and family were desperately trying to sell off all her doll collection - we're talking thousands of dolls, mostly of no interest to me but I figured there had to be a mego in there someplace. I was really hoping for a surprise score like a minty Catwoman, wondergirl, or wonder woman, but nothing to be found. Most of it was pretty rough, but it didn't take long to find a few things of minor interest. Normally I probably would've passed these up, but the price was so good I had to liberate them.
    Understand, I live in Wyoming and the population here in the 70's didn't exactly support a huge base for kids with megos, so finding anything mego related at a garage sale is a big deal. Here is my stuff I got today for a grand total of $10.00. Not too bad.

    I never wanted the Walton line, but the guys are in great shape, the ladies need some clean up and mom is missing a shoe, but otherwise in decent shape. Scotty, Spock, Robin and Supes will be good for repair parts.
    A couple of Bible guys, Moses, and Jesus, I think. A beat up Evel K, and a Bruce Lee??











    Anybody know who the bald dude or the Indian guys are?? I didn't see any stamp on the body, but haven't throughly inspected em yet.



    edit - I wasn't really trying to sell these or I'd have put it in the MKTPLACE. I thought some people could use some of it, and that stuff is now going to new homes.

                              I went back today and poked around again. I found a Luke Duke with a hillbilly custom outfit on, A naked robin, and another superman with a great head (no rubs), wearing a nylon shorts - batman outfit wi a small run in the foot but otherwise clean - no emblem. I was hoping it was an RC bats, but no luck there. 3 bucks for those bringing my total to 13.00...not bad.

                              The Big Jims and Pulsar are spoken for. 2 people asked so I'll probably split it.
