I thought for sure there would be a thread like this already, even asked around, but I'm not seeing one.  

 

Anyhow, my wife and I (and sometimes our friends, when I can pull their shiftless asses outta bed) are way into the yard sale and flea market scene.  She used to make trips with me as more of an apprentice, but these days she can hold her own against the rudest, crudest, cigar-chomping flea market dealers.  As for me, I've been at this since I could walk and talk.  

 

Grabbed these things yesterday -

 

Got this mixed sack for around five bucks.

 

 

 

 

Not really into these particular fairy tales, but these figures are all aces.  Heavy pvc, nicely detailed, and articulated well.  The stone enclosure is really cool, and many of the facial sculpts and costumes are beautiful.

 

 

 

Putting this one away for the future, 'just in case'...

There is a thread, here somewhere, just like this.

Also, those Gremlins figs are pretty cool!

People put flea market finds on the "what you got in the mail" thread. Who knows why, but that is what occurs.

 

Did you also buy chocolate at the flea market, or are you including Big Lots stuff?

 

What flea market did you find ReAction figures at?

It's a 149 page thread for showing off and commenting on new toy acquisitions. I wouldn't take the thread title so literally on that one.

Ah, I thought there might be, but...

Maybe I should have titled the thread 'TinyPink's Weekend Grabs' ?  

 

Yeah, they are neat.  We typically wrap up the day with a Toys-r-Us run, and my wife grabbed these.  I was sitting in the car with the dogs, eating soup.  

 

Also, I'll assume you got the message I sent the other day, regarding your tracking number?

I just went to a big local flea market in LA called Frank and Sons hoping to grab some loose mini figures, but was pretty let down when there was really nothing there except 3 3/4" and up (oh, and a shit-ton of LEGO guys). I did see a few sets of CUTIES in the box and one package of MUSCLES original in the box, but for a 4(?) pack, it was a bit pricey at $40 for me. I need to go back an looks some more though.

 

Anybody else in the LA area know of good places to look for Little Rubber Guys?

I hope the Exerciser works better than the Penis Mightier. Trebek will rue the day he crossed me!

"I'm in here with your MOTHER, Trebek!  HAW HAW HAW!!"

 

Yeah, I was going to pass it on to my father-in-law, but he is a miserable old bastard that doesn't find humor in much of anything.  Might also make a nice Christmas gift for DixieBull.

Yeah, the other yardsale/flea market posts that I found are in the "Other Toylines" thread, and are typically just one member , or another, posting pics of stuff that they have found.

And, yes.
I got the message. I should receive them tomorrow, I will let you know.

This is a family forum! Some of us still have a little innocence!

HA! I just found this...if I end up with that for XMAS you may end up with a New Years card in the mail with a picture of me using it on it...My fiancee said she would spot me though so it's all good.
