Garage sale finds!
« on: June 11, 2009, 04:56:45 PM »
Here is a place where you can brag about SW stuff that you have found at a garage sale.

I will start by showing pics of this partial AOTC air speeder vehicle that I found at a local garage sale, today, for 50 cents. Missing a canopy but I will find something to do with it. He is to have more stuff out tomorrow morning so I will be sure to stop by and check.

my mother yard sales a bit and I always tell her to look for Star Wars. So far no luck. Man, you can't beat 50 cents.

yep, I figured I could alter it to be some sort of open cockpit vehicle or a chair for a gunner's station or something.

Dont know if it would work for our project. I will have to take it apart and see. Might work for another variation of that death star gun, though.

I found this interesting piece at a garage sale last weekend for 50 cents. I can see this one becoming a mobile gun platform or some kind of armored hauler.

Awesome find Clint! That is the Indiana Jones KOTS vehicle the Jungle Cutter. The front blades are missing is all. That will make a great mobile battle platform.

I was finding some stuff of interest at local garage sales and felt I needed to revive this thread

I'll get more pics up soon but to start, here is a vintage 1968 lost in space kit from aurora, not the Polar Lights re-issue, that has a fresh condition not seen in a kit this old as far as box, parts, and instructions

Looks complete. The clear parts are still in a sealed bag inside.

Got it in an armload of vintage kits for $10
To the right collector, this kit in this condition is worth $200-250

  Great find!! I've been watching a Robot on eBay, but haven't pulled the trigger on it.
