So we have a consignment store around here called Stuff Etc. I work across the street from one so I go hunting for custom fodder every once in awhile.
Today I found a zip lock baggie with Gung Ho in dress blues with sword, The Fridge with battle ax, and Sgt Sluaghter with the camo pants. The Frigde and Gung Ho's file cards are there and so are 2 green stands. All of this for.... $0.99! Well, $1.05 with tax. These will be on my B/S/T list later as I don't collect vintage figures.

Nice find. I'm always telling myself to take a look at some of the local thrift stores, but I almost never do.
There was one time I had a few moments to waste and did walk into a thrift store and ended up walking out with the shell and most of the parts to a vintage Castle Greyskull for $1. I could have snagged the 200X Greyskull for another buck, but I didn't want to come home with too much stuff.

I got an AT-TE from TJ Maxx last year for $4. It was missing a lot of parts. I got some of the parts free from Hasbro. About a week later I found another AT-TE at a Goodwill store for $3.99. It was nearly complete and had 5 Clone troopers in the back. So my son got a complete AT-TE and some troops for $8 bucks. I'm still debating on what to do with the other parts and shell. Maybe a bombed out version. What were we talking about again?

I had a friend send me a pic and asked me what the vehicle was at a local thrift store. I got the pic and it was a General, 60% complete but for $5, I stole it as I traded with him for it and I was lucky enough to have the missing parts.
