Nice finds! I picked up a couple of the Massif sets at my local Target too.

Today's after work Five Below and thrift store scores!

The 2 "Masters Of The Universe" figures were $5 each at Five Below. They will become trolls for my 3.75"/4" fantasy figures!

The Crayola vehicle was $1.99 at the thrift store. It has a great 1960's sci-fi esthetic and will be modified and painted into a "moonbus". You can see it holds 4" figures quite well.

I found this Funko "Pop!" "Game Of Thrones" dragon for $2.99! It will get repainted eyes (I detest the stupid Funko "M+M" eyes) and be a dragon hatchling for my 3.75"/4" fantasy figures.

Thanks.

It has a very "2001" or "UFO" look to it :)

After work Target clearance and thrift store scores!

The "Jurassic World: Dino Trackers" Nigersaurus figures were $5.39 each (originally $18.99) on clearance at Target!

The "Hot Wheels" dinosaur bone track sets were in a bag for $5.99 at the thrift store! There are several leftover orange track pieces and other odds and ends that were in the bag that will be going to my nephew.

Today's thrift store find!

I picked up this small "How To Train Your Dragon" figure for $1.99! I am going to harvest the wings, tail and legs for a custom creature. The head and body are too cartoony for my needs.

I grabbed this Chap Mei S.W.A.T. truck for $3.99! I will customize it into some form of repulsorlift transport for my sci-fi figures.

Found this enormous 1970s hard vinyl monitor lizard at the thrift store for $6.99.

Add some spikes and such and he becomes a giant, b-movie styled dragon :)

You can't add spikes and make it mean and monstrous.
Just look at how cute and cuddly it is.
Al it wants to do is sit on your lap and snuggle.   ;D

Put that spine on his back and he would make an awesome Dimetredon, not sure I said or spelled that one correctly.

After work thrift store score!

I got this Chap Mei military truck cab for $4.99! It appears to be complete, the last one I got was missing a few small bits like the upper gun. This will be modified into some form of repulsorlift vehicle for my 3.75"/4" sci-fi figures.
