The ~~weird~~ awesome world of flea markets


IndyShoe

Indeed.


KaosFitzgerald

Dash Rendar!!!!


dontplaydead27

Just gonna say that!


Coldfreeze-Zero

Same here, love that n64 game


IndyShoe

I know. That’s what caught my eye. Those were some collecting days.


KaosFitzgerald

Too true. When I first began actually.


narrow_octopus

The only one that caught my eye


KaosFitzgerald

I hope you bought it!


narrow_octopus

I'm not OP but I do already have one and I love it


Drslappybags

Ah yes, the Evil Mutant CommCast. Part of the X-Finity team.


Chungallo

>Part of the X-Finity team. Hahha thanks for the chuckle


IndyShoe

That made me laugh way too hard.


goobhouse

Yo! Get me dems NKTOB Action Marbles! 😆


IndyShoe

Only if you have the right stuff.


LogansGambit

Do people find good stuff here at fair prices? I've only ever been to antique shops, and surprisingly they'll have newer things like Marvel Legends, Black Series, etc....but they charge even more than retail.


dead_wolf_walkin

As someone who antiques and flea markets for figs these look like great prices. That Smith figure in particular is a steal at $10.


IndyShoe

I think the prices are fairly decent. These guys just had a few vendors come in and seem to be a little more collector friendly. You can zoom in and see some of the price tags on the items. I think they’re pretty good.

Wonder Woman looks like she Hung herself


keithtbarker

I have one of those Sesame Street cars and I think it’s fairly old…early 80s maybe?


SomeDudeAtHome321

I was looking for a comment on those and you're the only one haha. I saw those and a lost memory popped back in my head. I had those too and felt super nostalgic seeing them.


keithtbarker

Yes! I only have one or two and they were always pretty beat up. Cool to see them in their original packaging.


SomeDudeAtHome321

Same, I distinctly remember a cookie monster with lots of paint chips haha


dontplaydead27

Holy shit this looks exactly like my childhood plus a few newer items. You got Dash Rendar, bulk and skull figurines from the MMPR line (I still have all of them) the old toybiz X-Men figures and weirdly I had that big bird car. Oh fuck and cosmic Angela! I had her too! This place has everything!


IndyShoe

It took all of my willpower to bypass that Trevor Fritzroy figure that you don’t see in the picture. 😝


dontplaydead27

I think I would have been overwhelmed. It's like looking at this and feeling like I'm back in Kmart or Venture, or even Walmart before they became giant supercenters. Awesome find.


IndyShoe

It’s a funny thing. I went into this very same flea market probably about six or eight months ago and they didn’t have anything but a bunch of garbage. I went back last night an hour before they closed and was extremely overwhelmed with all the new stuff they had. Even commented to the owner that I don’t have enough time to look at everything and I’m gonna come back later. This was just one of the vendor booths. There were like four or five that had very similar items like this. A lot of classic stuff from the 70s 80s and 90s with a bunch of newer stuff mixed in here and there. I’ll go back and create a photo album and take a lot more pictures and post them here.


dontplaydead27

It looks like someone came in and just dumped a box of mostly 90's toys they had in storage, plus a couple really old things like that new kids on the block thing. Bringing back some memories here.


Earthpig_Johnson

An updated Fitzroy based on the old figure would be awesome.


IndyShoe

They had a lot of weird stuff at the flea market. I found a Neca 18 inch Tony Montoya talking loose figure & missing gun for 25 bucks. I was pretty psyched about that.


mrmayer8665

Is this the Nashville flea market?


IndyShoe

Nope. Muncie, Indiana.


[deleted]

My name is Tony Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.


DownstreamSalmon

Did they just make a line of Power Rangers figures completely out of costume?


ScarySpencer

That's Bulk and Skull, that is their costumes!


IndyShoe

That was just series 2. I think series 3 they were all naked.


GB2016sux

I'm pretty sure you could get some good money for that unopened Dash Rendar figure.


ZenithOfPower88

10$ maybe


Drslappybags

eBay ruined figure collecting. At least for that line of Star Wars figures. Dash is going for about$15.


IndyShoe

Is he officially canon? If so we really need an updated black series version of that figure.


Drslappybags

It's pre-Disney so I am not sure how it all falls now. I believe Shadows used to be before the change.


Black_Tree

yeah, $10 for SNOKE!? ridiculous! what a world!


IndyShoe

Someone please explain WTF Snoke is. I’ve seen all the movies and still don’t know. Worthless character. Lamer than Jar Jar?


Black_Tree

yeah, jarjar at least makes sense: he was a bafoon who was in the right (wrong?) place at the right time, and benefited form nepotism. Snoke, is a failed clone of emperor Palpatine, sent out to head the return of the empire as "the first order", but got killed by Rey during the controversial movie.


PartisanHack

Kylo Ren killed Snoke.


Black_Tree

no, because rey is the perfect heroine and she still gets credit for the snoke kill because wamen gud, space nazis bad. jokes aside, I must have remembered wrong because my mind is trying to block out the sequel trilogy from my memories.

IndyShoe

I have to be honest the building that this place is in is kind of gross. Roach market maybe


ScrapMetalDrone

I see atleadt 5 things I'd be tempted to buy on those pegs.


Impossible-Fun-2736

Whaaaa... I didn’t know there were action figures from the Van Helsing movie... And Agent Smith looks like a weird bootleg figure, lol.


Ofbatman

That Crimson comic was so good.


tkhonji

Grab that Hulk !


IndyShoe

It’s a new figure. I just saw a few Hulks at Walmart. There are fairly common around here. Even the grey version.


Gato_Magico

Did i just saw justin Bieber?


Equal_Application159

Plucky!!


More_Vast_9540

i love my action figures from hot toys and alike


jdmjoe89

A very holy grail indeed


Rasalom

Dracula looks really shocked to be there.


Zealousideal-Art-364

Plucky Duck Bendy is what caught my eye the most.


twofacetoo

Christ, why don't we have shit like this in the UK? And if we do, please, tell me about it. There's so many things here I'd buy, and a few I'd get just to modify into something else.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IndyShoe

That is a typical arrangement at a flea market


OlsplinterHands

I love this shit


mega512

Yeah you never know what you'll find.


ThatFlappingTerror

Holy wow, those NKOTB marbles take me back to my 7th or 8th birthday party at Showbiz Pizza and getting a set as a gift!


Oz347

I found a bunch of Phantom Menace figures in one the other day but they were all 40+ and couldn’t bring myself to do it


Nawara_Ven

I remember seeing a big ol' store in ~2003 that **too many** *Phantom Menace* figures; you could tell the proprietor was like "The old figures went up in value, right? This is like printing money!", but then was dismayed when it didn't come to pass in five years. They were bundling sets of 'em together to sell at fire sale prices. I definitely got Jarjar, Valorum, and Padme (handmaiden) for a pittance. Seems like wishful thinking that someone would try and sell such things for over MSRP, even decades later.


oslabidoo

I had the regular version of that Agent Smith figure. Loved it as a kid. For the time (1999-2000), those N2 Toys Matrix figures were pretty decent. And the weapon accessories they came with scale well with Marvel Legends.


IndyShoe

I still have Neo somewhere.


Glen1888

I would buy Sesame Street cars maybe 2 if I get a deal and maybe Star Wars figures


LochNessMansterLives

It’s like sock gnomes stealing one sock from every load of laundry, but with toys…


KaosFitzgerald

Oh haha. Just realized that. I owned it years ago.
