Found this lot of Indiana Jones stuff of the good ole days for 111€ shipped:





Got a couple accessories from STAR WARS with it. All the other accessories were a nice surprise as well.

I picked up these 3 vinyl hedgehogs at Walmart while grocery shopping.

The sculpt is really nice, but they are a bit softer than I would like. I am hoping after plugging the hole where the tag was attached that they will be a bit sturdier.

I plan on repainting them, adding fangs and a ratlike tail (possibly with a spiked club at the end) and using them as alien creatures in one of my eventual dioramas.

I would like to find 3 more so I can have my customizing OCD required "6 of everything" 🤣

Today's super cheap toy haul!

The "Jurassic World: Dominion" Micro Collection figures ($1.25 each) were from Dollar Tree and this purchase brings me to my desired number of the new releases!

The vinyl hedgehogs ($1.33 each) are from Walmart. I still want 1 more.

The Imaginext "Lightyear" and the "Star Wars" "Mission Fleet" sets are from Kohl's, who are having a "take an extra 30% off of the clearance price" sale which brought the price down to $4.40 each. This purchase brings me to my desired number of the little yellow robots. I bought the "Star Wars" set for the tiny Probe Droid (which, sadly, is a bit disappointing, even at the clearance price).

After work DII (discount store) score!

I bought these just for the robots as I have been wanting them since Walmart released them 2 years ago but I was not paying $19.99 for them!

Forman Mills clearance ("Raw10") and thrift shop scores!

The green "Devestator" vehicle is from "American Plastic Toys" from sometime in the early/mid 80s and was meant to be a cheap alternative vehicle for "G.I.Joe" or other similar 3.75" military action figures. It is missing the silver cannon that goes on top as well as a cover that goes over the seats and is scuffed from 40 years of playtime battles, but for $2.99 I could not pass it up!

Today's Walmart ("Avatar") and Forman Mills ("Raw10") clearance scores!

I was hoping to find a pair of "Raw10" Battlesnakes on clearance as I never picked them up when they were originally released, but no luck.

Dan you could open your own toy store with the good deals you find.

Today's thrift store (dinosaurs) and Five Below (sea life minis) scores!

The dinosaurs, aside from the red chonky boy Ankylo are Lontic/Tedco/Happy Kin Toys dinos that I already have a bunch of, but for $.99 each, I could not leave them behind (especially the feathered Therizinosaurus). The chonky boy Ankylosaurus is from Playskool's "Definitely Dinosaurs" line and is the only non-cartoony figure from the line I have ever seen.

The sea life minis are a bit more expensive than I would usually pay for an item like this (usually $1-$2 at discount stores), but a few items in the bag made it worth it to me. I want 2 more eventually to satisfy my "need 6 of everything" OCD 🤣

Tonight's after work Walmart (dinos) and Five Below (sea life) scores!

The dinos are static vinyl figurines, but have beautiful sculpts and are quite large as seen in the 2nd photo with the 4" "Fortnite" figure for scale. I am very happy to see more toy manufacturers embracing the fact that theropod dinosaurs were covered in feathers. These were only $1.97 each! I only wanted 1 of the orange retro-styled (tail dragger with spikes down its back) one, but I am going to buy EVERY feathered one I find (they are 2 per tray of vinyl figurines)!

The 2 sea life sets bring me up to my desired quantity of 6.
