My last find came from Walmart, they've been stocking a lot of Block Tech stuff lately, started with boxes of different color bricks but now they have minifig packs and specialized parts, including the accessories pack I picked up for $10 Cdn. Block Tech is a weird brand, they have connections with both major dollar store chains here and now Walmart, and some of their large sets have shown up at the liquidation centre, but generally they're rather underwhelming. Their minifigs are their only notable item really: their builds suck, their parts sets usually feel overpriced and the photos on the front of those boxes often have parts that aren't included. I picked up their windows and doors box from Dollarama for $4 and it had several doors that required a frame piece to be of any use, none of which were provided but were shown on the front. The back of the box does have an actual piece count inventory but it's still a dick move, particularly as there doesn't seem to be a way to get the proper door frames.
Moving on, this bundle of accessories wasn't too bad really. What sold me were the significant amounts and types of weapons, which include Mega Bloks CoD automatic pistols, interestingly enough. The assault rifles are comically oversized but I like the M60; the different melee weapons are neat too. On a more disappointing note, the helmets and hats included are designed with a specific subtype of their minifigs in mind, namely the ones where the top of their head is a separate piece. They don't fit lego heads at all and are practically useless unless you have the right Block Tech figs.
There's plenty of tools to go around, with no less than 10 shovels in 2 different styles and 4 colors for some reason. One of the selling points for me was the animals, of which there's a decent assortment and includes 3 horses with saddles. One other thing worth mentioning is the artist's easel, with paint palette and brush (x4). Was worth it in the end, would only buy once tho.
