I was reading on a Canadian toy site forum ,that some people have found many good finds of 80's toy lines in thrift stores and the Salvation army ,for next to nothing and the toys were in VERY good condition ,has anyone here found any good vintage Gi Joe stuff or other 80's toy lines at one of these stores ?
I think i'll drop by one thrift store tommorow and see if i can find anything good *fingers crossed * |

All found at Goodwill stores over many different trips since last December (The Stomper set didn't have the truck though) I don't have it pictured but I've also gotten two of the Nerf Rifles that can be broken down into small guns and have clips and a huge Vulcan cannon (I've paid around $15 or less for each gun) |

I also found all of this at a Goodwill one day last year:
The G1 Hound is in excellent condition with the rear view mirrors (At a toy show recently, I found a bag with all of Hound's accessories except for his spare tire for 25 cents!) in total, I've paid less than $1 for a near complete excellent condition G1 Hound |

I will say, I've gotten pretty lucky, but I also try to go at least once a week so there is a lot of unproductive trips to the store too
