I honestly don't remember how old I was, but my Aunt Vicki took me to Lionel Playworld when we were visiing for the summer. She told me to pick out anything I wanted, so I pulled a Skystriker off the shelf. When we arrived at my grandmothers house I opened the jet to find that there was an extra carded Airtight stuffed inside the box!

I have two so far:
1. I walked into a K-Mart I guess two years ago now--it was late May--and I found a POC Lowlight. I'd been looking for one for months. I had the same feeling the OP did when he found his SE in K-Mart. Still the only one I've ever seen in the wild. 2. I found a copy of G.I. Joe #155 (the last issue from the original Marvel run--notoriously hard to find due to a smaller print run) in my tiny local comic shop for $20 back in '04. I had the chance to get it signed by Larry Hama in '10 and graded by CGC--it came back a 9.6. Last edited by HEAT Viper; 01-22-2013 at 10:36 PM.. |

My sweetest score to date was when I was in 5th grade. My next door neighbor's parents were having a garage sale. While his parents were sorting through things and getting read for the sale, they found a carrying case filled with 82-84 joes. Straight-arm Snake-Eyes, multiples of straight-arm Grunt and Zap, Scarlett, Cobra Commander, Mutt and Junkyard and Baroness. All for 5 bucks with the case. Sadly, they were lost with the rest of my childhood collection when my parents moved several years ago.

My mom and aunts went shopping and left all of us kids home. We played kickball in the yard till they all came back. My mom walked over to me and handed me a Hill's Store bag. I looked and saw a Rattler. I thought I was dreaming. It was one of the best surprises I had ever gotten.
