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. |

If taking photographs of dead malls and empty stores is your thing, you'd love Montgomery, Alabama, that's for damn sure.

my jackpot would be that my mom actually took my star wars collection and hid it because i was selling some of it off..... instead of the fact that my friend was stealing it and selling it.
i just imagine one day stumbling across a box in her house with all my "stolen" star wars figures in it... $60,000 worth of POTF, errors, variants etc.

I'd love to find a box of minty rare figures like Viper Pilot, Starduster, GHSB, etc, at a garage sale being sold by some 65-year old mom who has no idea what they're worth.
Heck, since we're fantasizing about this, maybe the family took a South American vacation back in the day and their son picked up the Argen 6 and a bunch of other figures from down there too.

In terms of the original post, though, I'd love to find a few cases of the old missile command centre or the gliders - you know, all the "paper" stuff.
... Or maybe the Flagg...
