Power Rangers And A Box Of Goodwill Crap (that turned out to not be crap)

On Saturday, I purchased a $10 box of toys at Goodwill, mostly crap, I could tell by looking at it. Not sure why I got it, I don't usually get those stupid taped up boxes you can't really look through unless I see a figure I would spend the price of the box on. Didn't see anything good in there but bought it anyway and regretted it as soon as I started going through it.

Still no other She-Ra figures at Target, other than She-Ra herself. I want an Adora and my wife wants a Catra, but we can't decide if we should get them. We love the show and definitely want figures from it, but not Barbie sized ones, they just take up too much room in my already over crowed toy room. They did get in the sword and shield set though, also, want but don't need, too big. No new WWE Retros and still no new NXT Takeover line. It's their own exclusive line, how do they not carry their own exclusive line?

And speaking of stores not carrying their own exclusive line, after Walmart did their toy reset, not only do they not have pegs for WWE Retros, they also don't have pegs for their exclusive Mega Construx Heroes figures, the ones that have two Masters Of The Universe figures in each set. It's their own exclusive! How do you not carry your own item? Isn't that like McDonalds not carrying the Big Mac? After researching it, it's no mistake, they no longer carry their own exclusive line despite it still being exclusive to them, which means no Scareglow for me. I was so excited for that figure too. Walmart shouldn't even be allowed to have exclusives, they just suck so bad at it.

After listing eBay stuff the other day, I woke Tuesday morning to see the toys from the $10 box I was kicking myself for getting, welp, no longer regretting it, already making $20. Sold some stuff on Buy It Now and got bids on other items. An original water baby doll sold for $10, the woman messaged me, so excited to have finally found one, and after I cleaned it up it looked like new. That makes the box worth it, it wasn't treasure to me but it sure was for someone else, I love bringing people together with something they value so much. (That $10 box has now made over $45)

Yesterday, at Goodwill, I found a couple bags of Power Rangers, one of Megazords, one of figures for $3 each. I decided to grab them both, even though I'm not very familiar with Power Ranger toys, but I figure it'll be fun to look them up. Unfortunately one of the bags was ripped open, I think someone stole a figure or two out of it, and judging by some of the pieces in there, I'd say they left with a Red Ranger with swappable parts. I've come to the realization that there are way too many Power Rangers lines, my god. There were also a couple Transformers mixed in there, just a McDonalds Optimus and a little Robots In Disguise Grimlock, neither of any value (Grimlock has since sold for $2). Might keep the vintage looking Megazord, we'll see.
