I found my flagg that I thought was lost today. A little background first. I had a flagg as a kid and then I grew up, so back in the fall of 1992 we moved and me being the typical 16 year old left it behind. So fastforward some 19 years later I drive by the old house and noticed it was victim to a house fire, I take pictures and decide to go in. Now the house was a typical mid 70s split floor design and there was a little storage space up under the stairs that is where I left her. So I guess I was just curious if it was still there and wouldnt you know it was. I was blown away. I thought about taking it but after looking at it I decided it was not worth the time and effort because with my luck the cops would pull up and i would get busted for looting. I guess if it was mint and complete I would of takin it but as you can see its not in the best shape. But after all these years it was just nice to see the old girl again.

I think you should contact the owner and get her. She looks in better shape than you think and you could sell a few of the parts for some coin towards a new one! Also, I have a HUGE bit of nostalgia towards having something I had as a kid still. I only have 1 or 2 things (Star Wars stuff) which is why I posted a thread like this...
Marking "my" figures... Have any of them?

Man, seriously you should bring her home. If you ever want a Flagg again this would be a great starting point. The missing pieces can be obtained. All it takes is time and $$$. Add to the fact that this was YOUR Flagg from your childhood and it makes it 100x more special. Restore her to her glory sir!

Yeah, you should try and get it. Yes, it's not complete but it's still yours and the fact that it survived being in that house with other people living in it, and a fire....it was meant to be back in your possession.
