Finally a flea market score

pluv · **Posted:** Mon Sep 12, 2011 12:41 pm

My wife hit a flea market and scored some actual Joe figures for me. Some pretty decent figures among the lot and in good shape. Slice and Dice, Sagat, Dress Blues Gung Ho with stickers, and Undertow, as well as Exo Squad Colleen O'Reilly and what looks to be a Wow Girls articulated police officer. She got the entire lot for $5. There is so much win ab out this I had to share. especially when you take into account I've never found more than a single busted Joe figure at any flea market.

Great Job PLUV. Looks like you got a sky patrol also. nice work. Is that the correct head? it looks like it, but the paint is chipped or something. Either way nice work.

The paint on his high top is faded. He's actually in minty shape otherwise and I was actually considering swapping the body out for my collection version.

I got a complete ASP for $5 at the flea market this weekend. I didn't really need it, but it was only $5.

Nice dude - definitely thank the wife! That Sky Patrol and Gung Ho stood out immediately as a good score, $5 wow.

exactly my point... i dont even buy online... and the local midnight chinese markets are littered with tables and tables, of bargain items, like clothes and stuff. its just that some sell loose toys too.

difference is, they're not laid out in open-air yards, they're laid out inside buildings.

Great find. I've haven't lucked out at any antique stores, flea markets or garage sales in years.

Nice find with the sky patrol PL, and I always love finding troop builders especially undertows.

Finally a flea market score
