At a garage sale a plastic grocery bag was brought out with about 20 SW figures for $20 from the OG owner. (Also got the iconic Vader case) Yes!

Really nice condition on those. Well done! 

I've ventured into a territory I was going to stay away from. For $45US I've added one of the Super 7 TMNT to my Pile Of Loot at BBTS. The current price, 55, seems ridiculous, but for 45, I'll give it a go. I got Donatello. I'm also getting, thanks to a US friend, the upcoming NECA TMNT 2 box set of all 4 movie Turtles. Looks great, and updated articulation compared to the first box set. I was kicking myself for missing that set, now I'll come out ahead.

I used to have a big SW figures collection loose and carded.. I sold em all off years ago. I don't really purchase figures but it felt like a good price in the moment from the original owner.. majority are missing the weapons. I don't know much about TMNT figures though

I'm out of vintage SW too, but it seems like a good deal too. 

I also don't usually collect TMNT, but wanted them for another representation on the shelf (I've got 2 sets already, but as a kid the movies were everything, so it'd be nice to have those looks, and well, the Super 7 versions are straight updates of the original toys, a concept I've not yet wrapped my head around), and they look so good. Just like the 1/4 scale figures, but obviously smaller. Amazing sculpts.

Nice little haul I had imported from Japan arrived today along with a Master Roshi I picked up from Amazon

Not sure which one I’m more excited about! Finally bagged a Blacklight Spider-Man. One left to complete the set (Carnage).

Went to the arcade expo this weekend, and hadn't planned on buying anything, but still came home with these. The Xenophobe is a little rough, but for $25 seemed fair, and the AvP Jaguar game is very tough with the three overlays. Wasn't cheap, but I was satisfied. I'll likely never shell out for a sealed copy as I don't really have any nostalgia tied to the game, so this one will suffice for my Aliens game collection.

Also, I FINALLY found a Maketoys My First Blaster, to go with my Swerve/"Trashtalk" Maketoys figure. I got back into Transformers after all of this stuff had been released and sold out, and 3P manufacturers don't always go back to make more. So, I wasn't sure if I'd ever get one. I paid more than is reasonable for a stupid little piece of plastic, but my Swerve seems much happier now! The quest to complete the crew of the Lost Light continues!

I was collecting the Famous Covers line back in the early 2000s. I ended up giving them all to my son and leaving the boxes behind in a storage cubby when I moved. I think it was the nostalgia of the Mego line that drew me to them but other than the Doctor Doomand and maybe Rogue, I never really gained any attachment to them.

Cracked this one open today

My nostalgia for the Megos of my youth was exactly what attracted me to these.  I liked the black costume version.   I imagine I have a few more in storage somewhere.

I hope these count! 
 

I try to buy any Hot Wheels Batmobiles I see. But I haven’t seen hardly any in the stores, but Last week at a small Toy show I found the new Batmobile…and its a “1st appearance” !

Also Im a big fan of Evil Dead 2, so when I saw these I had to have them! I only have 1 set, The multiple pictures are of the different symbols on the dice.

The ThreeZero Bumblebee arrived today. Nice looking figure, but it may as well be a statue, it's so delicate. 

Here it is with both heads.

Is that one of the Chinese bootleg versions?  I've considered getting that figure a few times, and the face on yours looks different than the images I've seen before shown below.
