Today's road trip haul!

The "fairy village" accessories were 90% off so they were $.50 (log path) and $.70 (stone path) each!

More nice scores, Dan! The Hungarian Horntail is a gem already and will be an even greater one in a couple years. Didn't know those JW dinosaurs with 3+ on them - do they have less detail and articulation?
That Plesiosaurus is already being offered on the bay for around 25€ (~$30) here in Germany.

I wish Hasbro would still give us some more accessories - even when they're a "surprise".
Always liked how much decoration you can find in the U.S. for Halloween - it's become less and less popular here in Germany over the years.

The JW dinos are "basic" 12" figures similar to the Titan series Marvel/Star Wars/etc. figures produced for the low price point market. I like them as they add a new size to the creatures in my menagerie.

Ah, okay. I knew they reminded me of those "shampoo bottle" Star Wars figures everyone loves so much! But these dinosaurs look very nice! It's always to see some playmobil in the U.S., too!

Some cool purchases from the Halloween section of At Home.

The dragon's eye lights up and cycles through different colors for a really cool mystic effect. The video would not load here, but can be seen on my Facebook page.

After only 9 days the latest set of 10 different Indiana Jones figures arrived well packed:







The cardboard crates came in better shape than last time! Three of them were still heavily bent.



All these figures, parts and accessories for $24.90 plus $4.99 shipping is a great deal if you ask me. For 3 bucks for each figure I'm going to use them for custom figures of Darth Sion, George Lucas and some more!

I'm going to use these two sculpts  for my second version of Darth Sion.




Make sure to check out the custom figure thread of forum member Don to see how he utilized a body of this lot!

Those Indy Figs are just nice in general and they make excellent custom fodder and the accessories. I could go on and on. Nice adds!

Wednesday Mail Call!

The first half of my Amazon order arrived! The second half (a "Fortnite" X-Lord Vending Machine set) is due by next Wednesday.

This was bought for the playset and accessories so the figures are going into my Swap Shop so if anyone has little ones that like Playmobile, LMK.
