Today's after work score!

I hit up the same AMC Theatre where I saw "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" 2 weeks ago and scored one of the limited edition D20 popcorn buckets!

It comes with a large popcorn, but I don't like popcorn so I told the concession stand cashier to give it to someone with a kid.

One of the customers on my route gave me these ink cartridge containers today as they know I build models and miniatures!

These have some great shapes that I can harvest for surface details for dioramas!

After work Family Dollar clearance score!

These were $1.75, regularly $3.00!

I bought all that they had. There are at least 2 other Family Dollar stores locally, but it is thunderstorming violently now so I will hit them tomorrow.

I got a full set with an extra Spinosaur and Triceratops!

Full set and case (case also comes in green) with a 4" figure for scale.

Today's thrift store score!

I picked up this awesome vinyl dinosaur for $1.99 while running errands this morning!

It is very reminiscent of a Schleich product, but is made by a company called Toyway UK. There are very minor scuff marks on several of the pointed areas (large spikes, ridges over the eyes, etc.) but is otherwise perfect.

After work DII (discount store) score!

When opening the ones I got yesterday, I really liked how the larger Zurg looked with the smaller one next to it so I grabbed a second smaller one today so that when I repaint them into giant combat droids, I can have the larger heavy variant flanked by 2 smaller ones.

Today's hauls!

All of the "Jurassic World" items save for the giant loose Brachiosaurus are Target clearance ($3.74-$10.99 each). The "Star Wars" ($10) and "Raya And The Last Dragon" items ($2.49 each) are also Target clearance (the Raya pendants will be idols in a future diorama).

The vinyl feathered dino ($1.97) and hedgehog ($1.33) are from Walmart.

The giant Brachiosaurus ($20) and Revoltech "Godzilla: S.O.S. Tokyo" figure ($7.50- which has Mechagodzilla's hands for some reason LOL) are from a thrift store in Wayne.

Burlington ("Jurassic World: Dominion") and American Thrift (Lontic dino and "ID4" alien) scores!

The huge electronic "ID4" Alien is a bit scuffed and missing the little alien that goes inside the head (I have 5 or 6 of the little guys in a box somewhere), but for $4.99, I could not leave it behind!

Today's scores!

1st pic- full priced Target ("Fortnite") and Walmart (dinos).

"Jurassic World: Dominion" was $6.49, and the "MOTU" were $8.99 mispriced (King Grayskull was actually clearanced but they honored the 2 Beast Man figures with the stickers).

3rd pic- thrift store, everything pictured came to $7.50.

After work Target score!

I was primarily interested in Cosmo as I missed the previous SDCC exclusive version and this is the only MCU Mantis ever made in this scale, but I am surprisingly happy that Groot looks way better in hand than in the photos I saw online (he looked like a cat turd with eyes)!

They also had the ship with Rocket, but I am not paying $32.99 for it and will wait for it to hit clearance.
