After work thrift store score!

The "Jurassic World: Dominion" Megaraptor was $2.99!

The "Lightyear" truck was $1.99! This is either the 5th or 6th one of these I have now as I grab every one I see for this price at the thrift store 😁

I picked up these awesome GITD hermit crab and reptile bowls at Corrado's Pets, which is closing and everything was 50% off!

These will be used in dioramas. Each package contains 2 bowls.

The 2 photos show the bowl sets with a 4" "Fortnite" figure for scale.

After work thrift store score!

I picked up a bag full of "Fortnite" figures and accessories, as well as a bunch of random other figures (mostly junk that went right into the trash) for $6.99!

Aside from all of the "Fortnite" stuff, the second picture shows what useful items I was able to salvage from the junk.

After work thrift store score!

I found this 6" "Imdiana Jones" figure with display diorama for $3.99! The only marking on it are "China" and "Lucasfilm 2007", which makes me think it might be some kind for park exclusive item.

I bought it for the display diorama, which looks great with 4" figures as shown in the 3rd photo!

Indy will go into my Swap Shop.

You're right, it was a Disney exclusive 7" figure back in 2007. I found sealed sets for $45-100.
Awesome find here!

Today's Target score!

This "Godzilla x Kong: The Frozen Empire" Giant Shimo was $24.99 and a complete surprise as there was no announcement that Playmates was making one!

The 2nd and 3rd pics show the size difference between the Giant, standard and mini Shimos made by Playmates.

Happy Early Birthday to me!

The "Animal Quest" vinyl dinosaurs were from Party City and only $7.99 each! I covered the "Animal Quest" line at Toy Fair last year and this is the first time seeing them at retail. They are really nicely sized as you can see in the 3rd photo (I have huge gorilla hands, so these are big hunks of vinyl 🤣).

The "Jurassic World: Chaos Theory" figures were from Walmart and were $8.47 each. This wave was not expected until the fall so I was very surprised to find them already!

Birthday presents to myself!

The "Marvel Mech Strike" Ultron was $7.49 (originally $32.99) on clearance at Macy's.

The "Diablo IV" Blood Bishop was $36.97 (originally $49.99) on clearance at GameStop, and since the clearance items are "buy 1 get 1 free", I got the "Star Wars" 6" Black Series figure for free! The Blood Bishop will be some kind of Chaos God for my fantasy figures and the Star Wars figure will be customized into a troll (bonus that I wanted his weapon for like 2 years now and I have it 😁).

Dollar Tree score!

I grabbed 12 of these "Adventure Squad" Manuel figures for the medpacs as they resemble the medpacs seen in many sci-fi movies and video games.

When the first images of these figures hit, the medpac looked like it was a flat tab with the cross painted on it, so I was very surprised to see that it was dimensionally sculpted. I plan on cutting off the handles and reversing the colors (white case with red cross) so that they look like the health packs from the "Halo" franchise.

The figures are too cartoony for my needs, so they will be given to friends/coworkers that have kids.

Thrift store haul!

The "Lightyear" truck was $1.99 (this is the 6th or 7th one I have picked up for that price 😁)

The dinos and Xeno were in a bag for $6.99!

After work thrift store (Supermobile and LGM bucket) and Walgreens (dinos) scores!

The McFarlane "Super Powers" Supermobile was $3.99, and in pristine condition. The bucket of "Toy Story" Little Green Men was $2.99! I am a HUGE fan of the LGM and plan on putting these guys into my Star Wars displays as Easter eggs (I had 3 or 4 of them in front of my Cantina Band before I had to pack up my collection in 2020).

The dinosaurs are the "Animal Quest" line that I previously found at Party City, and they were the same $7.99 each as well. Walgreens has them in the summer aisle in a huge, plain white cardboard display box filled to the brim. They had tons of different dinos, sealife, safari animals, etc. across 3 scales, all for the same price.

The dinos are HUGE (see second pic)!

The red/silver/tan/gold piece is some kind of Marvel playset as per the marking on the bottom. I plan on removing the tan base and the silver part on top and using it as the entrance to a spaceport cantina as it has the transparent blue doors that swung open. They can be a forcefield version of saloon doors. The silver/gold piece on top will get used for something else. It was $1.99.

The big red T-Rex was $2.99. It is a bit underdetailed, but I can add all sorts of cool stuff to it to make it into an alien creature.
