The Final Flea Market Trip Of The Year

Well made my final flea market trip of the year this weekend and did some wheeling and dealing and walked away after some trades with a few items of interest for the Cosmic Ark....


Hasbro Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Series The Thing: I was long over due for a new Thing action figure for my collection and when i saw this one i knew i had to have it.

Cowboys of Moo Mesa Buffalo Bill: I was hoping to have found more of these figures at the flea market to jump start my collection of them now that i have completed my Bucky O' Hare action figure line up but no such luck but one is better than none.

G.I. Joe Street Fighter II Chun Li, Blanka and Guile: Been on the look out for more of these figures from this GI Joe sub-set of action figures based off the classic arcade fighting game after having added M. Bison and Ken to my "Joe Army" and was delighted to have found these 3 mint on card.

Random G.I. Joe action figures: My G.I. Joe fever shows no end it seems and after digging through several plastic storage bins i managed to find a mix of some to bring home with me.

  1. Nice haul! Buffalo Bill was the first Moo Mesa figure I found as well,I have a good number off duplicate figures to the line so I might be able to help you out with that line.

  2. Man, I am so jealous. It seems like our flea market only sells knockoffs or toys that are too trashed to be worth buying.

    1. The Flea i got these has a "Toy Reseller" so i always try and get there when i can because he does trades and actually has some cool stuff at times and he will work out deals with you. Downside is it's about a hour and a half drive and in a not so nice area of the state.

  12. That is probably the best modern day Thing action figure. I wanted to build Ronan from that line, but I never cared for the FF as much as other Marvel characters. Great haul.

    1. It's a great figure and more than a welcomed addition to the Cosmic Ark but am still very partial to my "Famous Riders" Thing because of of his very old school look.
