This is an awesome bonus!

The bathroom scale I bought today came with 4 of these 1/18 scale weapons racks! 🤣

Well, that's pretty nifty! I love it when "garbage" turns out to be useful.

Today's clearance and thrift shop hauls!

The "Jurassic World: Legacy Collection" Velociraptor Containment sets were $11.99 each (originally $39.99) at Target! I initially only wanted 3 to give me 6 with the 3 I got for 50% off before Christmas, but the last 2 on the shelf looked lonely so I brought them home with me as well 🤣

The "Jurassic World: Dominion" carded dinos were $2.54 (originally $8.79) at Target!

The "Batman" and "The Flash" figures were $2 each (originally $6.88) at Walmart!

The "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" figures were $1 each (originally $6.88) at Walmart and were bought for the Atlantean laser staff accessories.

The boxed dragon set was $9.99 and the "Ben 10" Diamondhead tank was $.99 at the thrift store!

After work Walmart score!

It looks like the single pack Shimo will be hard to get, so I grabbed the 2pk version.

After work thrift store score!

The shark monster is one of those brand new, super expensive toys (seriously, it is like $79.99) that just came out last Christmas that came in the giant beaker with all of the weird little chemistry packets to "make" the monster. He was only $2.99!

The big robot is from that toyline where you have to break open all of the bits and pieces to assemble everything (parts are usually packed in slime or kinetic sand) and was also $2.99.

The 2 small vehicles are Chap Mei knock-offs and were $.99 each!

The robot and both vehicles accept 3
75"/4" figures and will be customized into cool sci-fi projects.

Today's Target and Walmart scores!

The 2024 "Jurassic World: Epic Evolution" dinosaurs were already clearanced at $12.49 (originally $24.99) at Target!

The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" Mega Mutant was on clearance at Walmart for $8 (originally $24.97)! It has some great animal body horror in the sculpt, which I will eventually enhance with paint and additional animal parts.

The "Star Wars: Ahsoka" Sabine Wren figures were on clearance for $8.39 (originally $27.99) at Target!

The "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" Hollow Earth Crystals w/mystery mini monsters (all Shimo thanks to a YouTube video that showed how to identify which monster was encased) were $6.47 each at Walmart. I got all of the Shimos that they had, but still want 1 more next time I find more of these. Hopefully, I will able to find one in a different colored crystal (blue or red) so I can have at least 1 different colored one in addition to what I got today.

Great finds once again, Dan!


MOTU Snake Troopers are sold out nationwide at SmythsToys here in Germany. The store here in Dresden still had 6 of them. So I bought a couple on discount for one of my buddies.






I also got the Hammond Collection's John Hammond for 12,90€.

Today's thrift store  and mail call!

I found a second one of those weird woodelf styled playsets at the thrift store, this one came with a bag full of accessories taped to it and was only $3.99!

I also received a long awaited trade package containing a "Black Adam" Intergang Mercenary and a headless "DC Heroes" Lex Luthor with accessories to close out a trade from last year!

Cool stuff Dan! When I took a quick look at the accessories of your tree house set I immediately had to think about the stuff I found in Spain.
The toy line is called Sylvanian Families. I thought it was all about Hamsters, but in fact it's about pets in general.

Found the one you got online. It's about $35 loose.

Nice Dan - I'd like to see medieval peasant Ewan :). Found this at Target on clearance for $4.49. Bought it for the cage:
