So I had to go to Walmart the past two nights to buy a new router and TV when ours both broke, and of course, along the way, I took a stroll through Goodwill both nights, and found something both times around. On Tuesday night I picked up a vintage Fisher Price Little People airplane from 1980 for $2, along with a small bag of figures from the line for $3. I had the figures as a kid, they're still at my parents house, but not the plane. I bought them to sell, looks like I'll make about $20. With all the random Little People pieces I've been finding lately, I'll probably throw them all in a lot.
On that same trip, I also found some WWE figures for $2 a piece, only two of which I got. There was a dirty Shawn Michaels figure from the Jakks line, which I actually have in package and out, as well as a beat up Randy Orton from the Flex Force kid's line with action features. The two figures I did pick up were an Elite Rock from 2011 and one of the rarest of Mattel's WWE line, the Defining Moments Survivor Series 1996 Undertaker. He unfortunately didn't have any of his accessories but as he is, he's worth upwards of $50 and is in great condition. The Rock, not so much, he's got a bit of a head wound and some major scuff marks which I was able to clean. I plan on keeping both of them anyway, at least for the time being. Can't believe I found one of the rarest figures in the line at a thrift store!
I stopped there again the next day on my way to pick up a new TV and found a box of toys for $5. I didn't want to get it, but there was a Nickelodeon Shredder, the version with his mask off that I've been wanting, so you already know I had to grab it. There were a few other figures in there as well, including some Power Rangers and Batman pieces.
Not much of interest for me in there other than the Shredder figure and a Beast Raider Savage Warrior figure that I made a custom Skeletor out of back in 2005, when I first started customizing figures. The line looked awesome and was available at discount stores like Dollar Tree and Big Lots. I couldn't afford much at the time so the $1 figures were perfect to make a custom MOTU line out of, but I didn't make it very far. I've been hoping to find the figures ever since. Finally found one, and it just so happens to be the one I made a custom out of. Couple of days, couple of awesome finds.
