    New Blog: Flea Market Gold




    I'm happy to announce another family member to the Plaidstallions family of blogs (although if you count Sitcom Diablo, I'm kind of a deadbeat dad)


    Flea Market Gold is a tribute to my favourite weekend event, digging through other people's old crap. It's a loving and completely sarcastic look at the subculture of dirt malls.

    Please do check it out the inaugural post about my most recent "find" and I totally welcome and encourage submissions, be it something weird you found or incredibly cool. Tell me about your favourite find or the grossest thing you ever saw, it's all good.

    Flea Market Gold

    At least it's still in the package and doesn't look "used"!

            Putting out the call for unsold Jar Jar merchandise sightings

            Flea Market Gold: Treasures n' Trash: Send in your Jar Jar sightings

            I know it's weird to read "wanted" and "Jar Jar" in the same sentence but there it is.

              That shouldn't be too hard. Can't tell you how many times I've seen that Jar Jar motorized Pez thing.

                I don't see a lot of Jar Jar merch in my travels.

                but I have a standing rule:

                "They could have a first edition of the Bible, autographed by Jesus, for a dollar, and if they also have Jeff Gordon Merch in the same booth, I'll pass it by."

                  I see that cup topper all the time too.
                  It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                            I just checked this out for the first time, very cool! Oddly enough, I just came back from a flea market store in town that actually has MEGOS. The first time Megos have graced a store shelf in this town in 30 years, I assure you.

                            Those Guliver figures are killer.
