There is a store in Jacksonville that specializes in buying old stock of closing stores. A year ago I found some Star Wars cassette tapes with read along books. They probably had 100 of them for $.50 each. I didn't buy them, but someone did.
I know that K&B Drugs on Bellchase Hwy in Gretna had Dr. Mindbender peg warming clear up till the day they closed in the mid to late 90's. No doubt there are some little shops somewhere that still have some stuff from the late 80's and early 90's sitting on the shelf. |

In 2012 I went into a pawn shop because my cousin was looking for a job so I just went in with her to browse around. I nearly shit myself because they had a MIB 1987 Cobra Buzz Boar. Box was a little messed up but still in really good shape. Still had that old threaded tape they used to seal the boxes with back then. I bought for $10. I asked the guy about it, because that pawn shop is not old. But he told me that one of the old local pawn shops had closed down and that was in the back with alot of other old vintage stuff they had. He said he didn't pay for it at all. The manager at the old pawn shop told him, since he knew his dad, said pick out what you want and take it. I felt like a kid again when I bought it.

Back in the early 90's (92-93) this old Five and Dime store brought some old merch stock from the back. My Cousin called me hysterical because he could not believe what they had while he was in there with his Mom.
Full cases of Rambo figures, Full cases of Kenner Super Powers, Full cases of LJN Thundercats and some G1 TF. My cousin was in shock since the employees priced the toys from $4.99 - $9.99 Later that day the local Comic Book shop owner went in and bought ALL the 80s toys. They were quickly priced at $50-$100 in his shop the next week :-( |

A few cases of the original 3-pack Sgt. Slaughter / Renegades were found less than a year ago, they were selling regularly on Ebay for awhile.

Found these in a small toy store last year for 1$ a piece. My jaw hit the floor. It was 1986/87 all over again.

I got one of those Renegades 3 packs a couple years ago from a guy named Jeremy. Case fresh unpunched card for 60 bucks shipped. One of my favorite pieces, the card art is cool both sides of the card. reminds me of Easter of 87? when i first got these guys. Same guy had the Equalizer tanks, too.

in 1985/86 my mother took me and my younger brother into a small out of the way store in the old part of town, it was in the process of closing. the store was woolworths, and they still had 1982/83 figures. even then i was amazed and glad to buy grunt and stalker, the ones we had were heavily played with and had broken thumbs. I remember the new ones thumbs breaking in just a few days, oh well
