i never did, i was just entertained by the fucktarded prices the vendors had, it's like one of those wrestling toy hunt videos where they ooh and ahh and barely buy anything,

I do remember one time in summer 1997, some guy had the complete Tick series of figures from 1994 all laid out on a table and it stuck in my brain as something I'd like to own, but I'm not bent out of shape that I don't own, but if I suddenly had millions of dollars, it would be in my top ten things to buy

Did you ever get any tmnt figures from like KBtoys and stores like it? I know the turtle crazed died around 1993 but they were still making new figures and rereleasing old ones until like 1998

I got this Spider-man in a thrift shop baggy around 2015 because I thought he was that ASM2 one that was really popular around the time(was buried deep in the bag). Turns out its a really cool one with magnetic feet. Even owning the Mafex options Is till use this one's magnets more because they just feel that powerful. He's all over my house because of it.
Really in awe at how many cool Spider-man figures toy biz was doing at the time. I really like his eyes.

Even in like 2000/2001 I remember seeing reissues of the original set of figures at KB.

I was so enthralled with the idea of Dino Riders, both the dinosaurs and the rulon designs, but could never find many of them in stores as a kid. That was one of the ones I found.

Got all of my toys from yard sales or out of the junk. Shit that is worth serious money these days, but I didn’t take care of because it was cheap/free and nobody told me to take care of it. And not to mention my parents would just randomly throw shit out with no warning. This was in the early - mid 90’s. Got the ‘77 Star Wars red & blue lunchbox FILLED with mint condition figures & weapons. The only one I still have is Boba Fett. Got one of those giant Shogun Warriors mint at a sale, got a fucking garbage bag of GI Joe’s out of the junk one time, had the Awe Striker and a complete Cobra Condor amongst a ton of figures and accessories. Got another haul of newer Ninja Turtle toys and vehicles like the sewer jet ski thing with the eels and the purple hovercar. Tons of other highly collectible stuff lost like tears in the rain…

Just remembered, also got the Ghostbusters firehouse for a dollar at a yard sale. Was an awesome base for my dudes. Got the brontosaurus Dino rider with no accessories for a quarter. My sister got a full set including the stage and all accessories of the New Kids on the Block dolls on one of the junk days lol. Got the Thundertank, Slythe and the kid-sized sword of Omens from a yard sale. I just keep remembering shit. I’ll bump this later if I remember more. I wish I still had it all :(

A lot of my best army men stuff came from flea market finds overseas, man I miss those days. In terms of thrift store finds, gotta say this one from just last summer was one of the best - a nearly complete set of the original Mega Bloks Halo Wars Aerial Ambush (only missing the figs but including a UNSC turret also minus figs). It was the only set I hadn't bought back when the line first started, became a bit of a grail that I never seriously persued but kept an eye out for, managing to get the Hawk from that set off of Kijiji a few years back.

Some of the parts were pretty warped, couldn't say whether that happened over time or were defective from the beginning, good case for the latter as only the Banshee had been partly assembled, with the sticker sheet still intact. Did what I could with boiling water and brute force to straighten out the warped pieces (that long brick for the tail section was especially difficult); unfortunately the two wing pieces proved to be too far gone. Luckily Mega had released a remake of the set just a couple years ago and I was able to request a pair of wings from it. The shade of green isn't quite the same but it blends in well enough.

Oh yeah, everything cost me a grand total of $7 CAD and waiting a couple weeks for the replacement wings, and it was a Value Village a good distance from my area that I'll visit less than once a year on average. Fate wanted me to have it all I guess, heh.

There was a time when everything at a flea market was priced as cheap as possible just to sell stuff, but now toy collecting has be come mainstream, so all the prices for everything are at a premium, where the retarded seller is asking you match the highest sold bid on ebay for the same item. Fuckers are retarded.

That aside, I'm actually a bit of a sucker for cheap mexican knockoff toys and I love finding the occasionally well made knockoff toy.

One time I got a knockoff ninja megazord and knockoff g1 constructicons for like 5$ each. And they were actually really good quality copies.
