Score!

Just found this sitting outside a house on my route! The box has "FREE" on the outside in black Sharpie!

Under the balls are a ton of hard black pipes that apparently go into the holes on the balls as it is some kind of building toy.

You have to love free customizing fodder :)

Nice find Dan. It will be interesting to see what you do with them.

I could already see them painted being part of the background in a space station with the cargo containers. Heck, you might not even need to paint them.

I plan on using them for these:

Dollar Tree (plastic organizers) and Target (dinos) scores!

The plastic organizers have a great texture on the inside (2nd pic) and can be used in dioramas as troughs for animals, long storage bins or other things.

The pink dinos have an awesomely shaped head (3rd pic) and may or may not get their heads transplanted onto better, articulated bodies. But even if I just repaint them (the bodies aren't bad at all, just need some putty where the heads attach as there are visible seams/gaps), they are still great for $1 each.

 After work Dollar Tree haul.

I decided that I needed more of these for a future project, but sadly didn't decide before the price increase or I would have saved $3 LOL

This brings me to 24 of these sets in total, which was my goal. Army building at $1.25/each is way easier than at Target/Walmart prices LOL

Free diorama fodder score!

Someone was throwing out these pieces from a playset so I scooped them up. They are basically tractor trailer containers modified to be a domicile for small fashion dolls. Soak off the interior labels, some modifications, add paint and you have cool sci-fi parts for a diorama :)

One man's trash is another man's treasure :)

Now I am only waiting for the Perimeter Defense assortment and the Rumbler/weapons pack to hit and I will be all caught up on "Final Faction"!
