My wife called me from a pawn shop about 45 miles away (this happend 3 to 4 weeks ago) and said the guy had some gi joe and was selling all of it for $100. I talked to the guy and immediately drove there. All of it (except the mudfighter) was missing pieces and some was broken, but it ended up being 5 big boxes full. The defiant was missing just about everything it could be, but the prize was a flagg in excellent shape missing 16 mostly little pieces (mast cap, one deck clip, valve wheel, radar stem, etc) and missing the yellow truck. Main toy parts (as i said, all missing pieces and some broken ) included the mobile command center, gi joe headquarters (first one), night raven, hydrofoil, two conquests, pieces to two tactical battle platforms, mauler, mobat, agp, razorback (I think, the yellow one that arches up), stun, skystriker, dragonfly with blades broken off, and oddly there was a terror drome box and almost all the flip down walls and blue shield pieces but no terror drome. Ended up getting some of this at his house for another 50 so he ended up charging me 156 total. no figures but it did have some accessories like doc's stretcher and muskrat's swamp board (i had to look this up since i stopped collecting before he came out). I washed all the stuff in the tub and pieced it all together, then boxed it up and stored it. Here's some lousy pictures, i didn't want to get it all out...also there was triple t, havoc, fang, hiss, devilfish and the big gun from, what was it? rolling thunder? also a web belt from the fan club! some of it helped out with stuff from my childhood (there were parts for a wolverine). the flagg was in its box in one of the photos but the defiant is in the way of getting it out. the guy at the pawn shop said he got this stuff with some speakers by trading a guy for a ring (marqui or something like that).

unfortunately, most of it was missing alot of pieces and some of it was broken. But the flagg was really cool--thought i would never own one of those. it was really a blessing, a pile of broken and not-very-close to complete almost junk and then this beautiful flagg... the defiant was exciting but dirty and missing so much... (counted up over 50 pieces just in my head...)

I found the first six issues of the Transformers comic book in mint condition at a thrift store, bought them for $1.50 altogether. I also found an original loose Cobra Commander (face plate) with his gun and an original loose Shipwreck who had no accessories. Each figure was 50 cents and they were in really awesome condition. No paint scratches, loose limbs, or broken crotches.
I actually find quite a bit of MOTU figures around thrift stores that it's somewhat surprising. |
