Tracks, Mirage and Ironhide look to be in good condition, though it's hard to tell in the pic.

They're all barely played with. Mirage is missing his spoiler and has the most wear. The Hoist and Twin Twist I got are MINT.

Skimming over your words in favor of looking at the pics I missed the fact that you got the lot in the second pic for a buck! Awesome stuff!!

Is it worth the effort to go garage sailing?

It depends. I used to have insane luck and made a ton of money. Since I moved, this area has a completely different people so it's hit or miss. Vintage stuff is a rarity these days. Every person who has a vintage Star Wars figure or GI Joe thinks it's worth a bazillion dollars now thanks to eBay. I've been doing it for as long as I've been alive so it's fun for me.

How do you determine your stops? Newspaper?

Is Mirage broken at the waist? If not, then that's a big deal.

 

[klocket]

Yes, that is the same MASK Jackhammer, he let me have it.

Does Jackhammer have the minigun in top part?

People around here are really good at putting up signs a few days ahead. Then I check craigslist and the local paper.

Congrats my brother.

Thanks bro.

Nope, not at all. That was the first thing I checked too. Mine broke at the waist when I was a kid and was devastated!

I'm pretty sure it does, I'll double check...

 

[klocket]

Normally i would wait until it's all finished... but here is my case so far, it's an old Nintendo display case from the 80's...

I still have to add my MOTU figure which will go on the second shelf and finish up the "various" shelf(s).

But here it is so far:

Oh and here is so more stuff:

I will update more later on.

Something is up with my camera... it's like half focused, not sure what the the deal is??

Thanks for looking!

That is a very impressive collection klocket, love how blue your Max Rebo is. I am jealous.

 

[galactiboy]

Great looking collection klocket Love how stacked your main shelf is

Thanks! Don't be jealous, trust me i wish my Carbo Han and Luke Trooper (Not Pictured) wasn't discolored, I am lucky Max survived all these years with minor wear... surprised how oddly Max discolors.

Great looking collection klocket Love how stacked your main shelf is

Thanks, Man!
I appreciate it... the fiance think it looks cluttered... but what does she know? She's a girl!

I say it's organized cluttered.

That is the smartest thing anybody has ever said ever

It reminds me a bit of Slade's collection, although in an earlier stage of insanity

Nice stuff! I love how it all flows together--and it looks like we're in the same boat with our Super Powers collection--mask-less Cyclotrons and no Shazams!

But I go "standless"...

Thanks, I think the phrase makes perfect sense... and we all know this in here. In all fairness though, i have A LOT more stuff packed away, i still have a full Batman Animated Series collection, Simpsons, Muppets, Visionaries, Supernaturals, Bill & Ted, C.O.P.S, Robocop, Pee Wee, Knight Rider and final various dolls like Slade's collection... at one time it was pretty close in crazy!

Here is one corner of my batman collection as it once looked:

And the epic purge of 2010, i unloaded a ton of stuff in my garage sale... stuff was just getting to overwhelming and i wanted quality over quantity:

Haha, yeah stupid Cyclotron... what's weird is i am pretty sure i have his mask still... it's in the HUGE box full of accessories in the back of the closest, but i am too lazy to get it out and dig thru because then i will find this piece and that piece and then pretty soon the day is gone!

Yeah, i tried the NO STANDS method but they all seemed to catch FDD

Fall-Down Disease

Great stuff Clocket! I really need to not look at Super Powers figures.... They're getting sooooo tempting and I know I won;t be able to stop with just the core characters. Hell, I was looking at Superman figures just the other day.

Is your SW collection 100% complete? BTW, I LOVE the Vader's Tie box... There's just something about it. Probably Vader's head floating in the upper right hand corner.

 

[galactiboy]

Man, I wish I could have been at that garage sale... would have been all over the 4 main Ghostbuster figs. I still need to get a set of those
