I would love to see the pics of old Hills buildings. My friend had some Hills shirts made that are exact replicas of the logo. I have 3. Our Hills was haunted and has since been turned into a Toys R Us.
As for the Jackpot box, it would contain 1-1984 Storm Shadow, 1- carton of Camel Lights ,12 pack of Killians, 1 bottle of liquid demoral, and an 8 track of Foghat. |

I actually had an experience like this once (or twice)
Around 2003 I was living in Kansas City. I went to my dad's work one day (A local TV Station) and he showed me around. Well we wound up in the "prize room" where they stashed all the stuff they gave away for kids contests. I'm seeing sealed cases of toys all over the place along with boxes of carded toys! I didn't really scrounge around too much since I was never promised anything in the room or anything like that. I do remember seeing some Batman stuff and such along with a bunch of the cases of Beast Wars toys (Just the Optimus Bat/Megatron Aligator two pack) but still it was a trip. Last year, my girlfriend gave me a present she found at a salvage store that day. It was the 1993 GI Joe "Collector's Kit" A large green box with a picture of Duke on the front and inside was an ultimate checklist of all the figures released, two sprue trees with weapons, some trading cards and a mint in bag 1984 Thunder! She told me there were some more at the store so I rush over there to find two more of the cases, one had a Hiss Driver and the other had a Copperhead. There were $5 each! The real kicker was when the owner of the store told me those were his last ones from a pallet of 100 or so he bought years ago. If he had 100 of them, I would have bought every last one |

It would have to be a case of original 12 back Star Wars action figures from 1978.
I believe they came 2 to a case... I'd sell one complete set and buy me a crap load of nice GI Joe vehicles... perhaps a Flagg or two. |

You actually here about this from time to time. Stuff gets left behind and discovered after stores go out of business, renovate or move. I'm not picky, I'd love to find an old box of Joe, Star Wars, Super Powers etc.

So lately I've become very interested in looking at and taking pictures of "dead malls" and closed department store buildings. Like old CP, Hills, Ames etc.
We have an old Wal-Mart in town that closed. I want to call the building owner and ask if I could go in and take some pictures. Now not like something like this would ever happen today, maybe in the late 70's earlier 80's but pretend you got permission to go into an abandoned department store building. Your walking around taking pictures. You walk into the stockroom, and you see a single brown box sitting in the corner. You walk up to see what the former business left behind. What "fresh" un-opened case of action figures would you hope to find? What would be your "Jack Pot?" I think mine would be some of the original AWA Remco figures or some of the WWF LJN figures, Kenner Super Powers. I would like to hear what other Tankers would like to find. |

A box full of Yellow Stalkers and Clear Wraiths. And at the bottom is the keys to the '72 Charger in the parking lot.
Maybe a couple SE with black Timbers, maybe! Last edited by CobraRebellion; 06-24-2009 at 04:55 PM.. |
