My after work Safari Ltd. 50%/55% off coupon scores from Michaels and A.C. Moore!



I have been after that Oviraptor With Nest for months and finally found one. My local A.C. Moore in Clifton has been sold out of it since last summer and I hit the one in Paramus I never go to and they had 7 of them on the shelf!

I finally broke down and got the giant snail with the little elf boy as it is no longer in production and they have been rapidly disappearing from all of the craft stores. The A.C.Moore in Clifton was the only store that still had any and they only had 1 left as of today so I took it home. I only want the snail though.

The sealife Good Luck minis will be prey for the creatures around the water in my diorama.

The dragon hatchlings were 1 of the last 2 items from Safari Ltd. that I wanted but never picked up. Now there is only 1 item left I still want to get from them and I will get that next time I have another 55% off coupon from A.C. Moore as Michaels does not carry it.

Ahem (these are said to be pretty quality too):

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dinosaur-Play-Set/46428832

I actually have 5 of these sets: 2 of the one pictured and 3 of the other set which is a T-Rex in 3 color variants (red, green, tan).

The figures and small vehicles are just straight up junk but the dinosaurs are great and some of the accessories are usable.

Thanks to some 60% off coupons from Michaels, I picked up a pair of Safari Ltd. dragons that were way too expensive for their size and an Ancient Fossils Toob that I have been debating picking up.



The dragons (Dragon King- top L and Good Luck Dragon- bottom L) were only $9.41 each including tax, they were originally $21.99+tax each which I felt was too expensive. The sub $10 price made them a far more attractive deal.

The Toob only cost $4.24 including tax, down from $9.99+tax.

A week or two ago, I read a post on this site about someone using figs from different lines for mods.  One of them being the Hobbit.  Not being aware of the Hobbit 3.75 inch line, this sent me into a week long frenzy of picking up 3.75 fantasy and then related series (Chap Mei and a few knock offs).  I am a year to two late for True Legends, but I got many of the key sets for reasonable prices.  This site has been expensive!  I'll slowly post some pics of the lots I won and other things I picked up.  Ching Ching!

After running all of the errands we needed to do today, my wife and I hit A.C. Moore as I had some 55% off coupons. I got the last Safari Ltd. dinosaur I wanted and a great gigantic flying fish!




I also got 3 packages in the mail:

My Hasbro Toy Shop clearance priced order arrived today!



I have wanted a small army of Korgs to make Rock Trolls and HTS' clearance sale did the trick!

The "Jurassic World" dino was the same price it would have been at 5 Below and they never received this wave so I grabbed it.

I picked up the "Star Wars" set to hit the free shipping amount. The shipping without it would have been more expensive than the 2pk, so I figured better to get additional figures for a lower price than spending more on shipping LOL


Received another awesome trade package from the always excellent Cap from www.joecustoms.com!




I also received my Bachelor Of Arts in Mutant Relations from The Xavier School For Gifted Youngsters today!

Ha, you bought so many Korgs that you killed the clearance price. 

Nice Job!

He is still clearance priced. The original price was $11.99 or $12.99.

Ah ok, your purchase inspired me to look around over here.  I found several on clearance for $3 USD, so I picked up 5 + $2 USD shipping.  Not bad!

Still no "Kong: Skull Island" toys in the wild, but I did snag all of these goodies today:





My latest Safari Ltd. order arrived!



This Feathered T-Rex is the last 2017 model I was waiting for. The Reedy Sea Dragon was ordered to hit the free shipping minimum, I loved the colors and Sea Dragons are just beautiful creatures.



I also got this trade package full of prehistoric awesomeness from 2DARK2C!
