Store report: T.K. MAXX

Dresden, Germany

Fri, Jul 14, 2023


It's not even Holiday Season, but I rarely saw their toy section so empty! All Pokémon figures sold right through! Too bad I didn't take a couple last time. I got surprised by some TVC though.






Perfect for 1/24 scale setups!

Yes, I did! People still buy toys and that's good. While groceries become more expensive every day.

And I thought the Halloween stuff arrived early...





TEDI used to be a dollar/euro store. These gift bags were 1€ each. However most items cost more than 1€ by now.






1/18 scale folk lift in a clearance basket.

3.75" dinosaur playset.

Store report: Action

Krefeld-Uerdingen, Germany

Wed, Jul 26, 2023



Last Friday a friend of mine sent me this picture which he found on Facebook.



You might remember that Action had TBS 6" Captain Plasma and Tobias Beckett for 4,99€ each a few years ago. This was the all-time lowest price for TBS6 figures that I ever saw at retail!
Apparently Action did it again and found a remaining stock of this beautiful wave and even some Gaming Greats!

So I went out on Saturday, but only found these items in my local store.






Today I went out to two other stores and both were a hit!




Since it was very busy with children in this store, I put all 6 figures in my basket to take pictures.
I took Echo and Sev with me.

Hot off the truck from the Netherlands.








I had one of those a few years ago. The rechargeable battery breaks rather soon - don't buy those.





And of course the first ones can be found on ebay already for 20€ each...





This was a crazy awesome hunt! I went to 2 stores today, had a mileage of 48 km total, which cost about a gallon of gas.

That's unfortunate. I'll see what I can find in Colorado at the beginning of September.
These TBS figures for 7 bucks are crazy! It was a thrilling hunt the past days.  x---wing

It's incredible to find them at a discount chain! I feel like a dude at ROSS in the U.S.
And I found more today! It's fun.  0/

Ugh, those stickers. Guess you have a great process to get them off.

Yes, I do have a bottle of sticker remover! But sometimes I even let them on the box if the price is incredibly low so that I can always chuckle for the good deal whenever I see it.
Like the latest finds on Friday:

It's been a while...

------CLEARANCE AISLE------










STAR WARS











Jurassic World





MOTU stuff is on EXTREME discount!



This helicopter was huge! Something about 2 feet long. But the seats in the cockpit and the bed were in an odd scale. Something about 1/14 scale, but other proportions weren't didn't align.


And here's what I got. I'm very happy to have gotten two more AVATAR items on clearance here. Dresden sold out within 4 days!
