    Micronauts in the Wild

    micronauts.jpg

    I went to a garage sale this morning and saw these. He wanted $175 for all of it. He said most of the pieces should be there, but they are mixed between all of the boxes. One of the boxes also had Microtron, a few Time Travelers, Space Glider, Repto (missing his brain), parts of Acroyear II and a few of the small vehicles. He would only sell it as a lot. Unfortunately I didn't have the cash.

    I did buy four plastic Star Wars cups from 1977 for $1.00 and an E.T. glass for $1.00.

    Man I haven't seen that much good stuff at one place , especially a garage sale in a long time. I'm sure somebody gave it a good home.

      Nice to see. At first I thought this was going to be a find at a store! Haha.

            I don't think I've ever seen a Micronaut in the wild. Pretty cool.

              There was a time when you could get a deal at garage sales.
              If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                Grabbed a Biotron and an orange/red Pharoid this week at my flea market. They'll be available at the Meet.

                  That was before shows like "Toy Hunter" and Ebay. I go to yard Sales a lot and been told they researched the prices on ebay. For example a Half complete Cobra Terror Drome for $150.00 because they had a ebay auction printed out with a buy it now auction ....for a MIB one for $200.00. Just last week went to a yard sale there was a box of incomplete 80's figures I took the box and asked how much they said $10.00 each firm....then the guy said he was not sure but they must be worth something because he saw it on a tv show....needless to say I did not get them.

                    Rocket Tubes sets are better off found in the wild. They're not worth the cost to ship them through the mail.
