After work thrift shop score!

I found this Boomco "Halo" Brute Spiker for $2.99!

It appears to be complete sans darts, which I really don't have a need for anyway. I plan on sealing the open top and bottom of the front where the dart magazine goes and correcting the very front of the gun to have the correct double barrel (over/under) design from the game as the dart gun only has a large single barrel. I will paint it up and use it as a prop replica.

The nicest part about it is that the handle is actually large enough for my giant gorilla hands to hold it correctly (it was designed for 8' tall simian aliens after all 🤣).

Dollar Tree score!

I grabbed these polystone sand dollar 3pks to be large sea creatures with some modifications and paint.

You can see how well they scale with a 4" figure in the second image.

Someone on my route was throwing away this "Bakugan" base/arena/whatever this is, so i grabbed it to be the base of a sci-fi diorama.

I will either use contour putty to fill in the Bakugan logos, or glue additional pieces over them. I love the circuitry design engraved into it. It is a really decent size as you can see in the 2nd pic with the 4" figure.

Today's Target score!

It JUST came out today! Regular retail is $79.99, but it rang up at $48.99 CLEARANCE, same as the Super Colossal Indoraptor that actually is on clearance!

After work thrift store score!

I got this nearly complete "Jurassic World: Dominion" playset for $3.99! Besides the 2 figures, it is missing the collapsible ledge for the top of the tower, the cover for the battle damage at the base of the tower, 2 more of the thin grey columns, another gun mount and both projectiles. I am really happy to have this, especially for the price!

After work Burlington score!

I got this Batman/Killer Croc set for $9.99!

[Starchaser]

Great grab. I got one on clearance at Target - I think it was $12.99.

Today's Walmart score!

I found this brand new "Jurassic World: Epic Evolution" Gastonia at Walmart while running errands!

I initially was going to pass on it as this assortment has gone up in price from $9.87 to $11.87 since last year, but it is an Ankylosaur species and they are my favorite dinosaurs of all time.

After work Walmart score!

I had been wanting this "Jurassic World: Epic Evolution" Bajadasaurus since the first image leaked online back in February, and I finally found one in the wild (they were reported to have started hitting last week)!

I still want 1 more as I envision them pulling an Orc siege engine in my fantasy diorama.

[The Spectre]

Hit Walmart for my meds and got lucky in the toy department!

I found the second Bajadasaurus I was wanting!

Today's thrift store score!

I grabbed this incomplete PTE boat for $1.99. It has a bunch of cool pieces I can part out and I might even use the body for a custom repulsor skiff.

Today's Michael's score!

This Ashlands Halloween skull mound was $6.99, but I had a 30% off coupon so it cost $5.19 including the tax!

The skulls are a bit too large for true 1/18 scale, but will work for troll skulls in my fantasy display.

I finally did it. I went down the jurassic park rabbit hole. I've been fighting it for years. I always go past the jurassic park figures in target to get to empty star wars pegs, and I'
 Always think how cool some of their stuff is. Of course I'm several years late to the game. I got the Hammond collection Muldoon, Mr Arnold and velociraptor. I have the legacy velociraptor containment pack and parasaurolophus in the mail. I'm just tired of hasbro, they don't seem interested in my money.

[Starchaser]

Nice! Yeah...Mattel has done some pretty cool stuff. I've dipped in and out for customizing purposes. I find ways to fit JP into Star Wars

[The Spectre]

Today's Michael's 40% off scores!

Everything here cost me $20.43 including the tax!

They scale very nicely with 1/18 figures!
