Today's thrift store (batcomputer), Five Below (Godzilla) and Dollar Tree (crystal pens) pick ups!

The Batcomputer was only $.99!

The crystals both on top of and inside of the pens will be harvested for future dioramas.

Today's Walmart Halloween clearance score!

Everything was 50% off. Surprisingly, most of my local Walmarts' Halloween leftovers were cleaned out already save for a few costumes and candles. I was lucky to get these items.

These items will be fantasy diorama fodder. The skeletal pumpkins will be jail cells. The skeletal tiaras will be used atop a tower. The skeletons will be chopped up for terrain scatter.

Man, I wish Boss Fight would get the SW License. They do such nice figures.

I was able to get the Reaction Twilight Zone Comic con exclusive gremlin. My brother evidently is some kind of influencer and got early access and gave me the link and a discount. It's different from the regular release, it has like a soft goods fur coat, a diorama and an eye pin. I haven't opened it because I'm in the process of moving again. I have a pile of unopened boxes. I think it would be cool to have a scene with him taking apart the RazorCrest wings or something.

I got this cool Goonies One Eyed Willy bottle opener. I'm building a bar at my new place with 18th century/pirate theme, so it's perfect.

Today's after work thrift store score!

I got this Chap Mei temple playset for only $2.99+tax!

It is missing the rotating door but is otherwise structurally complete. None of the figures, animals, vehicles or accessories were present, but I am not going to complain for the price. I already have a complete one from the original TRU "Animal Planet" release and now I have a spare to part out and use for other projects.

Great to see you check in! A pirate themed bar could be pretty cool. Hope the new digs work out well.

Yeah it'll be cool. I like pirate, and colonial history, and people back then liked to drink (understatement) so its the perfect setting for a home bar. Besides, mid-century furniture is cheap, and it's made to resemble 18th century furniture especially the baroque style. I know some 18th century drinks, and modernized some to make my own cocktails, mostly made with rum. In fact the pina colada was invented by a pirate named Roberto Cofresi aka the Puerto Rican Robin Hood.
I need to start Food/drink feed in the breakroom section.

Those figures are just awesome. 10 years ago I thought they were overpriced. Today, I hold Hasbro's beer. It's called GREEDY. I'd rather hold a pint of Guiness instead. Anyways. I've been trying to get this Orc Female with red skin for years. She'd be perfect for a custom I got in mind. Do you know if they ship to Germany? I'm tempted to just have it shipped within the U.S.

Now this looks spot on. I'm thrilled to see how your bar turns out! What an awesome theme! But one question is still not answered. Why's the rum always gone?

Lol. It'll be a work in progress. I bought a marble top bistro for $100, two fake leather with brass tacks chairs, matching leather stools, cedar chest coffee table and a leather sleeper sofa under budget. It'll be a cool hangout spot. Going out to bars is expensive and boring.
