Today's road trip scores!

The DVDs were $1 each at Dollar Tree and the "Fortnite" props were $2.49 each at Spencer's Gifts (they will be used as reactors in future dioramas :)  ).

Dan, this is crazy! You always get incredible deals! If I got those JW dinos that cheap, I'd definitely repaint some of them. Excellent finds, thanks for sharing! I think Enfys Nest's Set with her Speeder is much underrated.

Saturday Mail Call!

I received a box full of "5 Surprise Dino Strike" figures from my friend Glenn.

Today's hauls (so far- I am probably going back out after I eat lunch).

The dinos and Zilla were only $1 each :)

I just bit the bait and bought the Brachiosaurus from Mattel's Legacy Collection on Amazon.de for 53.80€. Have you already bought this giant beauty yet, Dan?

Today's haul (Part The Second)!

Scored some fun $1 DVDs and my first Blu-Ray (also $1) at the Dollar Tree closest to my house :)

Today's treasures!

Everything was on clearance or at Dollar Tree so I hardly spent anything at all :)

Nice finds, Dan! I wish we had such a selection of cool parts here in Germany. Yesterday I watched a video on YouTube of two buddies hunting for some old VHS, exotic DVDs and vintage arcade games in goodwill stores.

I really like those Nano Space sets and add-ons! Also the ancient looking parts for less than 20 bucks look great! Are those from Game of Thrones? You must have a lot of such mini decorative parts like the ones for Halloween. Just cool. Thanks for sharing & congrats!

Received my JW Brachiosaurus from Amazon.de yesterday. And you might check out how it was packed because Amazon gives you an option to select an extra box now! I'll keep mine in the shipper until I find another Brachiosaurus loose for 30-40€.
In my book 53.80€ for this one was still an amazing deal with the U.S. MRSP of $49.99. Definitely can't get it from America to Germany for less than 4 bucks!

I already got one of these Ugha Warriors from Hasbro's Indiana Jones line, but I ordered 10 more on ebay, because they are great for customs and come with useful accessories. If you need a male body, ths figure is a great base. I'm going to make a custom of Darth Sion with one of them.
You can also use this primitive hammer or axe and the slingshot for your Ewoks.

Buy this set here: Lot of 10pcs 3.75" Indiana Jones Kingdom of The Crystal Skull UGHA WARRIOR

I think you cannot go wrong with $1.89 for each of them and FREE SHIPPING from Asia. It took less than 2 weeks for them to arrive here in Germany.

Tamer: Thanks for having added the affiliate link to support our forum.





The bags were quite gross though with some grease on them, so be sure to thoroughly wash the figures & accessories.




I'm also going to do some weathering on these accessories for more realism.

Great fodder.

I did change the link to reflect our affiliate account. Thanks for thinking of that.

Please use those links folks it helps a bit to keep the tires inflated around here.

Thank you, Tamer. That’s odd though, because I did enter the ebay website through the icon on the frontpage. Then, I looked for "Hasbro Jones lot" to find this offer by ebay seller "cutesource".

Thanks for changing the link. People can be sure that this is the best offer out there. I took the time and made some comparison of all the offers out there. I’m pretty sure etoyshop and cutesource belong to the exact same seller.
I did the same when I was signed in on ebay, entered the page via our icon on here and bought another lot of 10 different figures for $29.80 shipped. I do hope the affiliate worked!

Today's road trip hauls :)

Everything was on clearance (Playmobile at Walmart, Dragons at TJMaxx) or I had a discount coupon (shark skull at Spirit Halloween) so I don't even think I spent $60.
