I was just looking at Dagger's thread and got thinking about something...

Over the years, what has been the most common vehicles or figures you have found at garage sales or flea markets?

I think for me it is the various Sno Cats and Armored Cobra Commander...

And every time I find him I ask if they have more joes to sell, to which I get the response "no way those are valuable collectors items, I'll sell them on ebay.

3 different times three different garage sales...

Deep six never cost me more then a quarter though.

I believe each of those have been breeding like rabbits. Every collection Ive bought has left me with an abundance of those suckers at one time or another.

I used to see Joes at flea markets and yard sales all the time. I don't usually go anymore, but when I did, I mainly saw Crazy Legs, Sneak Peek, Sargeant Slaughter and the Ninja Force guys or Joes with '92 or after stamped on them.

I've seen the Sarge's Triple T tank a few times also.

Battle Wagons without the big missile launcher. These things are like kudzu around here. I have bought two (...I do enjoy the Battle Wagon...) and could have had at least six more if I'd wanted, always in the same level of completeness (no main cannon, missiles, small front laser, no wince hook, but with everything else). On a side note, Battle Wagons are great for hidden surprises. Both of the ones I've bought have had a strange rattle that, once I opened the vehicle up, was revealed to be caused by figure accessories that had fallen into the shell.

Broken Blowtorches. It blows my mind. I own a Blowtorch that is in great condition, so I don't need the figure, but I've seen that figure so many times in my life at yard sales and it's always broken. Leg snapped off. Broken crotch. No thumbs.

Never, not once, have I ever seen a Joe ANYthing at a flea market , and I don't go to yard sales.

Heh, I bought a Battle Wagon at Goodwill that had about half a pound of accessories in it, including a Skymate bow.

But that was the only thing I ever found at Goodwill, and garage sales never have Joes either save for the 25 cent VAMP I bought one time

yeah snow cats are up there; as are ninja force motorcycles, and x-19's (weird huh?) also i see lots of thunder machines lately.

Lowlights, at one time I had nearly 20 v1 lowlights. Vehicles I never seen a large amount of them but the ones I see the most of are either the night force triple T or Flak Cannon.

The only Joes I've seen outside of retail would be a Grunt missing thumbs at a camp ground tackle/supply shop and a Ripcord at an antique shop on vacation in Deluth. Grunt was spotted and purchased in '86 when we were camping and I only had a couple of Joes with me at the time, so he was kind of "needed" at the time. Ripcord was spotted and purchased in 2001 because he was in excellent shape and I needed him to replace my beat up Rippy.

Snow Cats, Devil Fish, USS Flaggs (JK)

Mutts, Deep Six, Law, Cigarette Cadets.
