So my girlfriend talked me into hitting the flea market late Saturday morning...now...i got up and checked this same flea market every Saturday morning for at least 6 months and never found even a sniff of Joes...but Saturday...i hit the motherload...
some guy who worked for a storage facility had cleaned out a unit of someone who hadn't payed their rent... NOTHING but old 80s toys... the first thing i saw...was a Terror Drome stuffed inside the original box! the idiot guy had thrown everything into trash bags and then into his truck...so sadly...most of the stuff was brokenor completely destroyed...however...here is what i managed to salvage: Terror Drome with box: missing only large blue cannon mounts, large gun caps x2, small gun caps x3, one orange refueling station, and two gun chairs. ALL the doors were unbroken...unbelievable... Sky Striker: had only two missiles but after cleaning looked really nice and it had the box! Conquest X30: no missiles or canopy but all landing gear intact Moray: missing most parts but looks amazing MMS: missing only the control box stand. the control box was still attached! APC: missing turret and seat belts Cobra Bunker: missing one machine gun, both rocket ends and stand Bridge Layer: missing cannons and broken bridge deployment arm...had Tollbooth with no hammer. Ferret: missing missile, compartment cover and hose. looks like it's never been touched. Accessory Battle Pack #2: partially still sealed MOC Star Wars: Tie Interceptor:...complete but has the wrong battery cover Star Wars: AT-ST Scout Walker: missing only the hatch gun Transformers Jetfire: mostly complete missing a few armor pieces and gun clip Optimus Prime: missing hands and trailer attachments/components Other high-lights: Storm Shadow v1 bow, Tunnelrat flashlight, CG backpack, complete Star Wars Endor Rebel Soldier, Star Wars Wampa, Armadillo missing hand rails, Devilfish with complete motor assembly...hoses STILL attached...Vector Jet rear gun turret assembly and wing... and now...the low lights...this will break your heart... Star Wars Death Star playset...detroyed...Sears Exclusive Imperial Cruiser playset...destroyed...Millenium Falcon with box...destroyed...all beyond saving...trust me...i tried. anyway...just thought i'd share this with you guys... if you have any of the parts that are missing please contact me...and if you have any idea where to find Star Wars or Transformer parts...please let me know... i have a huge trade list that just got bigger after this and will also buy... sorry the pictures suck but my camera phone is all i have at the moment.
