Today's Target scores!

I honestly thought I had missed these figures as they were released over the summer and I NEVER saw them anywhere but on eBay for insanely marked up prices so I was VERY happy to spot them hanging on the pegs today :)

Today's Dollar Tree ("Jurassic World) and thrift store (building set and balls) scores!

Dollar Tree has restocked their Mattel "Jurassic World: Micro Collection" figures for the Holidays and the assortment now contains the juvenile Stegosaurus that was previously exclusive to the boxed set 5pk found at Ross earlier this year!

The building set is a rerelease of one that I had in the late 70s (probably released in 78 or 79) but multicolored where mine was all white with a few small black connectors. The weird balls are something I have no idea of its origins, but they look like those fusion pods found all over Tattooine in the "Star Wars" saga. They just need greebles and paint. They are also really heavy. I paid $4.24 (including tax) for both bags.

Got a box full of goodies that Dark Jedi from Joe Customs has picked up for me as they never popped up in my area!

The Sabacc playing cards were a surprise gift and there is another wrapped item that I cannot open until Christmas.

This isn't so much a toy as it is a tool, but I wanted to share it, as it'll be something that'll improve toy photography. I got a Micro Fogger 3 Lite, from Vosentech.  https://vosentech.com/    The name says it all, it's a mini fog machine. So I'm going to play with it for a while and write a review on it, probably by the new year. I have some lights, tripod and some figures that'll look especially cool with smoke effects. $140 for the kit is a lot, and I've been struggling whether to buy it or not, so we'll see if I was stupid or not.

Found this set of Indy stuff on ebay and wondered why nobody had bought it for 2 weeks. Got this set for 65€ shipped. The figures were put back in the rather destroyed packaging. But each of them goes for about $40 by now - even loose! The Troop Car however is incomplete and I didn't know it.
I only saw it on the packaging when it arrived. Oh well, that's the way it is if I don't know this toy line so well. I'm still glad that I got it.

After work Target clearance score!

I hit 3 of the 6 closest Targets and scored these at 50% off :)

I want a few more of the Fortnite sets if I can find them at this price just for the female knights.

Gotta say that the Halo line of 1:18 figures are knocking it out of the park.

Yeah I got a microfogger3. If you scroll up a few posts I talk about it a little. I was thinking of reviewing it, but it's a niche item.

I will have to take a look. It seems to be a no brainer to have something like this for action figure images.
