Monster High Deuce & Cleo First Wave



I found this the same day I found the Fox and the Hound plush stuff.


I had some time to burn between an appointment.

I found this bag of toys.


You can kind of see why I bought this bag.  It was $10

I thought it was a bit pricey and I might have over paid for what I wanted.

I wanted the Monster high dolls.



Most of it didn't end up in the photo, as it's not stuff i'm interested in.

There's a baby g3 mlp, a Madeline doll and some bratz pets.

I just can't pass on a 2nd hand boy monster high.  When I first took him out of the bag he was missing his hand.  I was so disappointed but thankfully it was in the bottom of the bag.

Fox and the Hound, Gi Joe, schleich, Dinosaurs, Pokemon


It was a long week.  I usually thrift twice a week, but I had to work extra hours so I only went out once this week.  But that's alright I haven't been finding much during the week anyway.

The first thing I found was the Charizard plush.  He was just sitting out in the open.  The fox plush is from Fox and the Hound,  I don't think there's allot of Fox and the Hound merch so I picked him up.  The dinosaur is from avon, and it came with a little baby dino.  The sheep looks old but it doesn't have a tag, it's a music box plush.  The poodle was picked up as a gift.



I have a few yo yo's that  picked up from a church sale years ago, ever since I haven't been able to pass up vintage yo yo's new in package.

The bag of metal is hard to see but I'll talk more about that at the end


I've had some bad luck dealing with other people while thrifting lately.
Two older guys were tossing stuff on the toys so I had to ask if it was okay to look through them.  They said yes but didn't move any of their stuff...  I had to move it, thank's i'd love to.

I filled one large bag.  I found a few old Gi Joe's, animals, part of a power ranger, etc.


The small group of dinosaurs are schleich.  There must be allot of hat less Toy Story Woody's because I usually only find his hat.


I've been slowly collecting these vintage playskool dinosaurs.  
I know they're old but there usually covered in junk and require a cleaning.


Mystery toys again.

These guys are cool, but I'm not sure what they are (no markings).  There super hard plastic and might be from the same time as Gi Joe.

Total cost $2.00

Okay first off I want to say this is not something I'd normally pick up.  I was browsing the jewelry counter on my way out and I noticed a bag, that I thought was  full of coins.


(super terrible picture ughh)

I asked to see it, but it wasn't coins instead they were religious pendents.
I noticed a few of them were sterling silver.  About two years ago everyone was looking for gold at garage sales.  I was never lucky enough to find gold, but I was able to find some sterling silver.  Since then I've been picking up cheap sterling silver, when I find it.  I also thought that I could gift a few.



I'm so glad I did while most of them don't say sterling silver quite a few do.




There was allot of squinting as some of these are quite small but these are all silver.
Not only are these silver but the large one recently sold on ebay for $70.
So I don't think I'll be scraping these, lol.

I paid $3 for the bag ^_^

Preschool Peter Pan, Toy Story, How to train your dragon, FAO schwarz Dog Plush

Sorry guys I'm a bit behind but I'll catch up soon.


I picked this stuff up last Friday.  It wasn't a great day for finds but I did come home with a few new toys.


I was going to pass on buying a bag of toys but then I found Peter Pan and Rex so I put together a small bag.  


I didn't even fill the bag because well there wasn't much.  And of course filler rubber ducky's.


This guy is kind of cool, he reminds me of the preschool marvel figures.

I found a Hercules figure from the same toy line a few months back, I can't seem to figure out what this toy line is called.




He might be new in a box, but the missiles are missing.  So I'll open him and discard the box to save on space.

Spider Man, Pound Puppy, Toys Story, Go Bot, Kablam, Hello Kitty



This was my weekly find.


I went back to the toy section and my timing was terrible. 
Two older lady's were digging through all of the toys.  They had the entire section blocked off.
So I waited and checked out a few other things,  There wasn't much but I did find a like new, very cute Hello Kitty Pillow Case.



I didn't find a any matching sheets but it was only a $1.

Even when the lady's finished they were still in the way.  They kept asking me to pass them another bag to fill up.  They packed 5 small bags but they did leave me a few things and I filled a larger bag. (lol) 





Spider Man and the Alien were $1 each.



The transformers are fakies but they are dinosaurs. 



Look a kitty and and Horse in my pocket.

The Pound Puppy is vintage.

The girl with the yellow hair and the black figure (Melt Man)  in front of the alien are from an old show called Kablam.




It took a little bit of digging but the tangs a Go Bot.
It's missing a piece but it's neat.




I have no idea what these horses are.  They're strangely jointed and they have no marks so in the bag they went.


I spent about $4 on everything.  Not bad at all.

Winx Doll Lot, Monster High, Peter Pan Gator and a Shelby Furby


Today's Finds




I first found the plush Peter Pan alligator.  I picked him up, he made a rattle sound, so he was defiantly a keeper.


I continued searching and some one must have picked up the bag moved it out of the toy area.    
This bag was hidden with some crafting items.

I'm not a big fan of Winx, but I noticed a monster high and a Novi Star so I was interested.
Usually bags like this go for 20-10 bucks.

Surprisingly someone must have miss marked the bag as it was only $5.

I took one last look and that's when I found this super cute Furby.

It looks like a squished Furby apparently they're called Shelbys.

I can't say when it started but I have quite a collection of Furbys, I don't know if he's going to stay with me but it's still pretty cool.



This is what I pulled out of the bag.  Some of it's garbage but the dolls look like new.  The only major issue is that strangly none of them have wings..  I'll probably find them in a $20 bag in a few weeks, lol.

Chap Mei Angler Vintage Mystery Monster Clips





Garage sales have been a constant disappointment this year.

I'm not really sure why but at least I found this guy.

$2-$3


I love this guy I knew what it was right away.  It's a Chap Mei toy.
They make some really stunning off brand toys.

I've been collecting the creatures, animals, and dinosaurs from this line.


He's quite large and when you push his top fin his mouth moves.



I found these at a thrift store I almost never visit.

They remind me of an anime called Parasite.  I think these are from the 80's but I haven't figured it out yet.  Anyone want to help??


I also grabbed these because they look vintage and why not. 
I'm also at a loss on what these are from.



$1 for everything.

Power ranger zoids are a must have Power Ranger Pin Ball Machine





I went to a church sale a while ago.  It's always hit or miss. 
One year I got a huge ET plush for $1, another year I got a few american girl baby dolls (everyone has missed them and they were on the floor).

This year was definitely a good year.  I had planned to go with a few other people but they had conflicting plans so I went solo.



 I had to wait in line and I got stuck behind a lady with a push cart.. This of course could mean the difference between finding something or just missing something.

I thought this was the case.  The sale opened , even though I was probably the 8th person in line a bunch of people were already at the toys.  I took a  quick look and the small two tables and my heart sank.  I couldn't see anything then I looked over and an older lady had a box of power rangers...  She kept looking through the box and I didn't move but apparently what she was looking for wasn't in the box.  I was on the other side of the table as soon as she put it down I ducked down and dragged it my way.  


 

All of the power rangers where in the little deteriorating box (except for the pin ball machine)

I was so excited as zords are my favorite, and I've never found any coins!! 
The strange triangle power ranger thing is corroded to the extreme.  I haven't had a chance to work on fixing it.  The white rangers sword has a damaged tip but that, and the other weapons are an amazing find.  

I then proceeded to  grab a few star trek things two play sets and a figure.
The Polly pocket place set is newer but it had a vintage Polly pocket inside.

I found a few Pokemon (one was sticky..) a mcdonalds lps, a 101 Dalmatians necklace and a cute set of 101 dalmatians.  I think the set is pretty old but I've had trouble idling it.



Plush take up so much room but I decided to take a chance on snuggles and Kermit is a must grab.

I went to check out, he started to take the toys out of the box and was surprised at how much I had.  He called it quits and said $12 sound good?

So I dropped off everything at my car and went back for a second look and that's when I found the pin ball machine.  

I think it was 2-3 I don't know if it works yet but I excited to have it.

A terrible Friday but an awesome Saturday Monster High, Sega, Jurassic Park, Godzilla, Walking Dead Pops. Dino Mites




I almost took Friday off to go to a large sale.  I didn't because I wasn't sure how good the sale would be.  I'm so glad I didn't, but at least I got lots of exercise.  It was terrible, I got a total of 5 things.  The tools aren't pictured because come on tools...


I picked up the dolls, zelda case, bank and bear plush.  The rest of the stuff pictured was picked up at another block sale.  I only paid a buck for the dice, I picked them up as a gift.


The dolls are super cute and the bank says Italy on the bottom.  It's missing it's plug but for .25 cents I took it.  


Now onto the good stuff.  This was my haul from another block sale on Saturday. I walked 6 miles and it was worth it.


It was so much better than last year.  I was so disappointed last year but this year kicked last years butt.  I'm not sure what I'm most excited about but I'd have to say Godzilla, the amazing T rex, and the new sega games are at the top, with a few other smaller items.



The Toy Story, Woody with the light it's pretty cool and he talks.
The pink DS is in amazing shape.  It didn't have any scratches and it looked almost brand new and it has the box (it moved right to my game shelf).  
I found a few more monster high dolls at the sale but they were super expensive.  These were not and they need lots of tlc.



I collect these guys,  Kitty kitty kitty's.  I thought I had this one but she's one I'm missing.



I passed on the wolf plush once but when I passed it a second time I took him home.  He's really nicely done and his tag says hand crafted.  



LOOK AT THAT T REX AND IT WORKS.  Sorry about that ehm, I was walking by a house and a guy just grabbed him out of a box and tossed him on the ground.  I quickly pounced and he was only $5 and he goes "it works see".   I thought he was a Fakie because he has no JP marks but nope he's a Bully T Rex.  My Godzilla has broken tail tabs.  I was still able to test him and he works.  OMG he walks talks and breaths smoke.


I made some 16 year old super happy.  He had just finished setting up and I said I'll take all of your star wars figures.  Each bag was 1-2 and that a steal I spent $21 at his table.


So I'm not a big fan of Human POPs.  I like the dragoons and a few others, but at $4 each/ walking dead I can start a new collection.  Every time I put down my bag with pops in it people who walked by it kept asking where I got them, lol.  Also look it's my first gloomy bear, new with tags.


Look at that cute Lisa Frank Box so rainbow and pony.  I recently read an article about the history of Lisa Frank.  It's pretty dark which was not what I expected.


There's a hidden golf game under the Supernatural car.  This has to be my 3rd ish Sega.  I got the sega with 3 games and some cords (that probably don't go with it) for 12.  I talked her down from 15 since it's missing the bottom half of the sega/ cords.  Streets of Rage 2 is one of my favorite games of all time.  I can't believe I didn't have a copy of Streets of Rang 3.  I have a ton of Sega Games and I was surprised that I picked up 3 new games.  
Wow Streets of Rage 3 is a $25 game.  I can't wait to test it out.


I love picking up small toys.  I think some one was clearing out there loot crate extras.  Batmans going with me to work to sit on my desk with Leonardo.
No LPS but a very lonely Shopkin and a Duplo Alien.


Why did they make a Mario base ball figure?...  Because they could and apparently someone bought it.  I don't pass on Nintendo stuff.  He's on my game shelf but I'm not sure if he's a permanent resident.


Something else I'm super excited about.  This lady had 3 bags of dino's one with the plastic guys the other two with the rubber dinos and a Fakie pony.  It was a $1 for the lot.  I found a few of the plastic dinosaurs a while back.  I thought someone had painted them but that's not the case, they're called Dino Mites they're from the 1981-1991.  There nicely sculpted and these were all one's I didn't have
The rubber guys are made by russ, and are little rubber dinosaur like figures.


I almost forgot to post this bag of legos.  This was the first thing I bought.  It's a pretty big bag with lots of little people and animals.  It didn't have a price, I thought  they were going to say $25 or up.  Nope $10 sold!!

The last and final thing was this huge box of geo tracks


This wasn't super exciting but the price was, $12 for everything (and someone carried it to my car, bonus).  I tested the cars and they work.
I'm putting these away as a Christmas gift.


So over all an amazing haul.  My Dinosaur shelf  and Sega shelf are full so I'll have to move stuff around to fit all of my new goodies.
I can't wait till next time!!
