That is a good find, congrats. Glad they didn't try to label and sell each one individually. Finds like that are what keep my hopes up going to thrift stores.

Maybe we can turn this into a thrift store find thread. Has anyone else noticed Goodwill reducing the size of their toy sections, or is it just mine in the SE Wisconsin area? A few that used to have those toy racks above the clothes have switched to a single small shelf area.

Perhaps the hordes of brown children scattering stuff around all day has prompted the change.

It sounds racist but it's the unfortunate truth, at least from what I have seen over the years. I probably shouldn't have mentioned that but I'm wondering if other anons have noticed this scaling-down, and if so could maybe provide insight on to why that is.

Around here Goodwill is the most numerous thrift store; there's others like Bethesda and St Vincent DePaul but I rarely find things there either. Maybe they, like Goodwill, filter out better things and sell them at online auctions?

My best advice is go to thrift stores in more affluent areas. If your area is like mine that may mean a bit of a drive. Also check out non-Goodwill stores if you haven't already. Goodwill also divides itself into regions; I don't know about your state, but mine has about 4 divisions and they run their stores a bit differently. Northern Wisconsin Goodwills have a slightly different logo and some pre-bag all their toys. Some I went to had better than average quality of toys but that may be pure random chance.

Goodwill has never been great for these finds because of how much they skim through and resell things. Good thrifft store finds come from places where the staff isn't looking for things of value and just puts stuff out. Funny you mention brown children because generally I get my best finds from places where most of the workers/patrons are black and hispanic.

Community Thrift Store in Azusa. I've pulled some gems from there like a transmetal cheetor and some nerf guns for cheap.

They also sometimes have decent electronics.

I picked this up from a Goodwill a few months ago. Nearly complete Mega Bloks Pelican, only missing a couple small visual pieces and with parts from some other stuff in a tub for $5.
And on the topic of little kids, I also found where someone had donated one of those MB CoD battle packs, with like 4 minifigs and a little scenery, and it had apparently just been torn apart. The shredded box was lying among some old routers and I found one baggy of random pieces among the plates.
The local Goodwills have also been really good for cheap Nerf guns too.

No pics because this was years ago, but I once found an entire box of vintage TMNT and some OG Power Rangers. All the turtles were there with a surprising amount of accessories, plus Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, a panda, a rabbit, and a couple other weird monsters I didn't recognize. In terms of Power Rangers, I think there was red, blue, and yellow flip heads from 93. Got that whole box for $15. I still have everything except for the rangers which I gave to a friend.

Nice. It's that kind of variable reward, roulette-wheel chance of finding something good that gives me the motivation to keep hunting.

Anybody ever have it happen where you find something that could've been really good, but it's so broken and stripped to the shell that it's not worth buying? It's a strange kind of feel. Once I found the shell of a 1986 GI Joe Night Raven, another time was a gutted Turbo Tank, missing a wheel and any part that could be pried off.

Wish I bought all of those 7" Robotech releases back when they were $5 at Kay-Bee Toys. Once in a while I go on ebay and am so damned tempted. They're so big and clunky and charming, in a way that the gorgeous Hi Metal R's just don't capture.

I remember like even 4 or 5 years ago you could find all sorts of old video games and good action figures at the local Goodwills and Unique chains.

Then slowly the whole "retro" wave started gaining huge traction and anything with recognizable branding like Nintendo, Star Wars, He-Man, Pokemon, would get searched up on ebay by the staff there and the deals became impossible to find.

Unique is now an overpriced barren wasteland, I'm lucky to ever find anything there anymore for a bargain. They now charge like 5 bucks per Atari game when 3-4 years ago I bought an entire backpack full of em for 20 bucks.

Goodwills around here suck ass because they throw away anything that does not come in the original packaging. I heard it's because they dont want to get sued over someone buying a toy with lead paint or other hazardous shit.

I envy the anons who still have good thrift stores, Im left with waiting until the warm monthes and only having garage and yard sales.

Yeah I've been getting discouraged too. Wondering if it's just random chance and bad luck not finding anything, or the Ebay effect and people sell it online.

Yard sales were always a crapshoot for me; can't recall how many craigslist ads saying they were selling toys turned out to be preschool stuff and so, so many McDonald's toys. Flea Markets here are either nonexistent or suck. 7 Mile Fair is 95% chinese imported junk, like the old Rummage o' Rama. In Europe they have car boot sales, where people just gather in a field and sell stuff from the trunk of their car. Wish we had that here.

Ugh, I think you might be right. From one Goodwill's website on accepted items: Toys – ALL items must be CPSC approved. There you go, government nanny-state meddling in our lives yet again! Blame the ambulance chasing lawyers too.

That would REALLY suck if the most visible, logical place to donate items now just throws a lot of it in the dumpster. Pretty sure they chuck books too; ever notice a good portion of Goodwill books are modern, airport-fiction stuff? I don't want to think of all the nice old toys that end up in a landfill.

It's the McFarlane Kaneda. I wanted to see if I could find the bike but they didn't have one there. I also got the nigger biker with it, since both figures were included in the same baggy. The one strap is broke but don't really care as much about the biker figure. The Blue Eyes Ultimate is so fucking cool though, it can still make sound effects and shoots something out of the mouth but it didn't have the projectile. I have very few Yugioh toys so finding that was fucking sick

>>6302680
I used to collect old games and thrift stores were amazing for games. Some of my best finds were Splatterhouse 2 CIB for $4, a Sega CD for $15 and Zelda Oracle of Ages in the original box for $10. Nowadays because of the retro fad and Youtuber bandwagon collectorfags games are impossible to find now. Resellers/scalpers and new collectors just add so much competition to finding anything vidya related. I always come across PS2/Xbox stuff but its always sports crap with maybe a Halo or GTA III in there at best. I used to go thrifting almost primarily for old vidya but now when I go I don't even bother looking as much for vidya cause I know there's gonna be scraps

There's entire channels on Youtube dedicated to finding old videogame stuff at flea markets, garage sales thrifts etc. However the people that run these channels don't really give a shit about playing them or enjoying the games, they have autistic need to just HAVE a wall of NES games. And sadly, they seem really popular. But they can be blamed for ruining it anyway because once 100,000 viewers see someone finding a rare, valuable game for $2 at a garage sale they start doing the same thing, and suddenly you're competing with thousands of other people.

I quite frankly have no idea how someone can think that gaming, a hobby that's become completely socially acceptable by now and provides products for pretty much all age groups, can in any way be considered more childish than toys. I mean I'm into both and all, but it quite literally does not get more childish than this.

I think he was referring more to going out of your way to find and purchase old physical video games, because they can easily be torrented and emulated for free, if you actually wanted to play them. Which, when you think about it, sounds pretty ridiculous.
