It definitely feels like some kind of cosmic thing. I feel really lucky and fortunate

[EpicusFuror]

Very cool!

Congrats! Finding things outside of the interwebz really is the coolest part of collecting! Nice!!!

Amazing! You have a lot of luck when it comes to toy hunting around where you live, and it's very well deserved.

Thanks everyone  

This is definitely one of my favorites from the Super Rares. After this it would be the Geronimo, and probably the Black Hole Sunshine. 
 

And yes! I have weird, crazy good luck finding this stuff around here! I almost never buy online, and never from eBay (not in years and years, anyway), because the feeling of finding something local is just so rewarding.

Like the warm, fuzzy feeling you get, when you see that creepy, naked McCheese staring at you from across the toy store!

Yeah I'd much rather find one than buy it for a grand or two.

Awesome score man! In Pa. I have never even come across a muscle in any form at any flee market, swap meet or off the beat toy store.

That's so crazy to me! But it does seem like I got way luck only in the last couple of years, regarding MUSCLEs. I honest;y don't know what the deal is with that, but the three Class A's I found were in a lot of like 200 that I found at an obscure junk shop in the shade part of the next town over from mine. My GF at the time found them there, on a whim, simply by asking the guy if he had them. She called me and I was like "Any price, get them all", and the rest is history. I remember the first time I found a light blue claw at the flea market - I about died! And then I posted it to here and everyone was like e"eh, it's just a light blue claw", whereas I thought it was pretty special. Nobodies saying that anymore

Just browsing the SR thread and can't believe someone paid over $3000 for the salmon shouting Geronimo - I wonder if that guy still owns it? Yep an awesome figure, but that is a heck of a lot of $$ on a figure. I know what my wife would do to me if I ever spent that much cash on a figure haha!!

He still owns it. One of the last MUSCLE purchases he made til his wife found out about it.

RIP Clawfreak.

Last time i remember him being around was when he was saying that purple claw snagged off ebay was legit because he had knowledge no one else had. Then it turned out to more then likely be a fake and the seller kept selling more of them over and over until ebay finally banned him.

Pretty sure ironoak was the other bidder driving up the price on that one. The time to cash in and sell any MUSCLE rares was when that guy jumped into the hobby and inflated the prices on everything for about a year.

Was a circus

Ironoak would buy anything. He offered me ridiculous prices on things that i didnt even plan on selling...until his highly inflated offer came in of course

[Sixthwizard]

He won a Salmon Mito, class A, from me a long time ago.  For around $15.  He got a magifying glass out, and complained that he could see a blue spec on the head (if you really look close- he said) 

 

I told him that I'm sure it was from a 4pack or something, and asked if he regularly looked at his figures through magnification.  What a guy!  haha.....
