Grabbed these cool playsets at the thrift store after work today.

They have massive fantasy potential, but will require a lot of modifications. For $9 for the pair, I think they were worth it. There was also a big bag of what looks to be Barbie accessories in with the larger playset that I need to go through and see if there are any salvageable parts.

Today was a GREAT day!

The 4 "DC Multiverse" Frost King BAF figures and the 3 "Warhammer 40,000" Genestealers were from Foreman Mills and were $10 each.

The 2 "DC Multiverse" "Blue Beetle" Carapax Mega-Figures were from Target, marked down to $11.99 from the original $39.99.

The 2 smaller Spinmaster DC figures were also from Target and were $7.99 each. The Mera from "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" is mine, but I am considering selling/trading the small "Blue Beetle" Carapax as I know he is pretty hard to find and several people are still hunting for one (I got a second one today as well, but it is set aside for one of my friends).

The baby Nosutoceratops was from TJMaxx and was clearance priced at $4.50.

Lastly, the little green Dimetrodon is from Walmart and was $1.33. This gives me 6 of the little critters now.

Got the Geeki Tiki Scooby-Doo 20oz Witch Doctor mug. I think it works well as a tiki mug, it has that traditional look in fact the episide is called A Tiki Scare is No Fair.  I hope they make more scooby villain mugs.

Today's Forman Mills and thrift shop scores!

The "U.S. Army" set was $5.99 at Forman Mills. I have wanted that little tracked artillery piece for a long time, but the previous releases had hollow areas on the reverse sides of the treads and other spots that annoyed me. This new mold has those areas filled in and I believe it is also slightly larger than the previous versions.

The "Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous" Cryolophosaurus was $2.99 at the thrift store. This is the redeco I never picked up (I no longer get the redecos unless I find them on clearance or at thrift shops) so it is new to me. The teeth need some touchups as they are scuffed, but otherwise it is in excellent condition.

After work thrift store score!

This cool cage was $.99!

I am not sure, but it might be Imaginext.

It needs a good cleaning though as it looks like some kid spilled soda or something inside it based on the stains on the inside of the doors, but that is an easy fix.
