Topic: New, Non-Star Wars Purchases

[The Spectre]

Today's Marshall's (space sets) and Burlington (dino sets and "Halo" figure) scores!

The "Space Exploration" Play Sets were $9.99 each and the satellites and accessory trees are worth the price alone! The rest of the parts are just gravy (the micro shuttles will be given away as I have no need for them).

The "Dino World" sets were $24.99 each and were primarily purchased for the wooden traps and the rope bridges, but everything save for the figures are all very useful.

The "Halo: Spartan Collection" 6" figure was $3.99 and was purchased to be customized into a giant battledroid.

Thursday Mail Call!

One of my oldest friends hooked me up with both versions of the "Dungeons And Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" Themberchaud ornaments!

Friday Mail Call and thrift store score!

The "UFO Explorer" was $19.99 on Amazon.

The "Ghostbusters: Answer The Call" proton pack was $3.99 at the thrift store. I grabbed it because the backpack will make for an excellent fusion reactor diorama piece. The neutrino wand will be broken down for useful customizing parts as well.

After work Burlington score!

These brand new 2023 "Jurassic World: Dino Trackers" figures must have just shown up as I was there on Saturday and they weren't there.

The Indoraptor was $12.99 (originally $34.99), the little Gigantspinosaurus was $5.99 (originally $11.99), and the 3 electronic Wild Roar dinos were $6.99 each (originally $18.99)!

All of these are still on the shelves for full price at Walmart and Target, so head to Burlington to get them for half off or better!

Friday Mail Call!

I got this surprise "Halo" ODST Drop Pod from a longtime friend and fellow customizer on Facebook!

After work thrift store score!

The red/silver/black item is part of a spy set, I had gotten almost the entire set last year for $2.99 to break down for parts, and I really like this cage-like object, so for $.99, I grabbed another one.

The yellow item is some kind of solar powered robot kit. I don't know if it is all there, but for $.99, I grabbed it for the tech pieces for future projects.

The prison cage looks cool! The arrow on top makes it look as if it was part of a board game. Pretty nice structure on the sides, indeed!

A solar robot sounds pretty cool, too! Fingers crossed it is complete. The bag looks untouched. Definitely nice pick-ups for a couple bucks.
Thanks for supporting your local thrift-stores!

Today's Walmart score!

The Christmas "Fortnite" figure was $9.97 and was bought to be modified into a spaceport mechanic.

The "Star Wars" retro droid was on clearance for $3. I bought it to give the hammer accessory to the better sculpted/painted/articulated Disney Parks version of the character. I will repaint this one into another droid of the same series for a Jawa junkyard dio.

The Supergirl from "The Flash" was on clearance for $5.50. I got her primarily for the Kryptonite cluster, but I always try to get at least 1 of every female figure released as there are so few in any line.

Nice finds, Dan!

After work Target score!

The "X-Men '97" jet was $13.99 (originally $34.99).

The large "Jurassic World: Dino Trackers" Dino was $8.39 (originally $21.99).

The 3 small "Jurassic World: Dominion" figures were $3.39 each (originally $8.99).

The "Jurassic Park" Kenner homage set was $11.99 (originally $23.99).

I wanted to grab one of the McFarlane "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" Target exclusives of the semi-clear stealth Aquaman with the octopus for $9.99 (originally $19.99), but they were sold out

After work thrift store and Walmart scores!

The 2 "Jurassic World" Super Colossal dinos were $15 each and the life-sized vinyl iguana was $.99 at the thrift store.

The "Jurassic World: Dino Trackers" Dakosaurus was $8.97 at Walmart! I haven't seen a Dakosaurus on the pegs since the summer! This is my third one, but I would love to get to my usual 6 someday.

Saturday Thrift Store score!

I grabbed this "My Best Friend" dog park playset for $4.99. I bought this primarily for the fences and other diorama elements.

The dogs are beautifully sculpted but I may not keep them as they are too earthlike for my needs. If I cannot think of any cool alien modifications to make for them, they will end up in my "Swap Shop".

[The Spectre]

I got a surprise box of goodies from one of my friends. He was sending me a few pieces he forgot to pack in the last trade package we did and added a bunch of extras for Christmas, including the complete "Tremors" series (all 7 movies plus the 1 season Sci-Fi Channel series!).

As a boy I had a few fighter jets from NewRay. This company has always been a mystery to me since then. Back in 2003 their internet present was as good as non existent. But the emblem always gives me a kick of nostalgia!
Their toys weren't distributed here in Germany as far as I know. So whenever we traveled to the Canary Islands (Spain), I was looking forward to adding one more 1/72 scale jet to my collection.

What a surprise that they make toy animals, too! This dogs set looks pretty cool!

Tuesday Mail Call!

The first part of my Amazon order came today! The second part should hit Thursday.

I ordered one of these "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Komodo-Rhino beasts to hit the free shipping minimum on my $30 Castle Grayskull. I have one of these already, but always wanted another one, so- 2 birds with one stone 🤣
