Lookin good ! Gotta get me a display like that for my statues.

[IMJ]

The Ghostbusters stuff is also a favorite of mine... I've got a ton of it in storage that I can't quite figure out what to do with. I've also got two of those Ikea cabinets myself. They house a few of my Iron Man statues! Clearly, we've got similar tastes... :)

[Lionheart3239]

Nice Collection. Keeping things new!

[bretttheleofan]

Thanks I was actually able to pick up a nice haul of toys for my vintage collection at the flea market today! Here they are!

What's up with your 5th anniversary Leo Statue? I've seen blue background/floor and yellow background/floor, but never a combination of both. What number is it?
nice collection BTW

Thanks! The number is 31632.

[IMJ]

haha I agree! What ghostbusters stuff do you have?

Not too much, really. More or less complete Wave 1 & 2 Ghostbusters and ghosts, and some scattered later series stuff. I still kick myself for getting rid of the Ghost Trap that complimented the Proton Pack. That thing is hard as hell to find and too much to pay for nowadays...

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/IMJ/The%20Real%20Ghostbusters/TheRealGhostbustersFirehouse.jpg

The white boards are loose complete series one stuff that I just store this way to keep the proton streams from breaking....

Clearly I've just got my RGB stuff in storage. A lot of it needs to be sorted by waves and accessories. Always trying to sort the proper PVC ghost with whatever it originally came with can be a tremendous PITA!

[bretttheleofan]

I totally agree man! I like your stuff! I actually go to this website that is an online RGB merch database that shows what goes with what!

[TheCanadiandrome]

i love the Ghostbusters stuff. sadly all i have left is the firehouse and the ecto-1 car as well as the yellow bug. the rest of my GB stuff ended up who knows where. your TMNT stuff is awesome as well

[BoggleKng]

Nice, I havent seen Real Monsters toys in awhile..

[bretttheleofan]

thanks guys, yeah I actually only had two ghostbusters left from my original stuff. The rest I have picked up all around. The ahhhh real monster ickis I just picked up at the flea market. I am going to get krumm this weekend probably from the same vendor.

[TheCanadiandrome]

you're lucky to still have the Firehouse Box. at least it's good for storage. mine's sitting without the box, but at least it's not damaged though

[bretttheleofan]

I was able to get a lot more stuff for my toy collection today!

Here are some pics, the deluxe turtles case was full of ghostbusters, turtles, and masters of the universe figures. I dont collect masters of the universe figures but I will be trading them at the flea market in a couple weeks. I have also never seen this flushomatic before but thought it was cool!I was also able to get my daughter her own stay puft since she loves mine so much. I'm going to put the ecto 1 model together tonight!

Here are the pics!

sweetness dude. love the MOTU figs. should sell them on ebay, you'd get more for them then simply trading them at a flea market

[bretttheleofan]

just got back from another nice haul in at a flea market! Thanks to Ibdatoneguy(Mike) for showing my brother (thegrandadmiral) and I a good time there in Louisville. Here is what I came away with

Paid 5 bucks for the turtle blimp!

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/100_8197.jpg


Never seen this E.T. figure or this spike figure both very cool

nice new additions

[bretttheleofan]

thanks man!

[Powder]

Awsome dude! I'm actually going to 2 flea markets tommorow due to having seen what luck you have over the last few weeks. Haha.

[bretttheleofan]

lol yeah there are two very nice ones right across the expressway from each other here in cincinnati. One is called Traders World and the other is called Treasure Aisles. I like Treasure Aisles the best!

[bretttheleofan]

updates to the collection!

I picked up ALL of this for 50.00 at a yard sale today. I have the firehouse, ecto 1 and a lot of the figures already BUT considering the complete firehouse usually goes on ebay for more than what I paid for the entire lot I couldn't pass it up. I'm going to be putting all my extra real ghostbusters stuff up in a lot on ebay that way I can get more of the matty collector gb's to go with my Ray!

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_0547.jpg

The ecto 1 even has the strap that goes around the ghostbusters waist, VERY hard to find one of those on the chair still!

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_0548.jpg

Also the Janine is an animation cel. I love it!
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_0549.jpg

and this I mean this is so cool!
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_0550.jpg

Here is my matty collector Ray I picked up on ebay, gotta get Winston and Egon before Peter is released.
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_0551.jpg


also got this from someone on craigslist last week great addition to a ghostbuster collectors collection. This thing goes for a heck of a lot on ebay. It is diecast metal.
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_0552.jpg

[Samhain]

Awesome pickups! I love those old school GB toys.

[Powder]

Awsome score dude!

[bretttheleofan]

Thanks guys!

[TheCanadiandrome]

man those are all awesome dude. i thinks i might be a tad jealous!

[bretttheleofan]

I saw on Craigslist about an hour away yesterday that a guy had all this turtles stuff I could use for my collection. Some of it I had but I was missing pieces. I decided to go check it out and boy did I hit the mother load. Everything is complete even with their boxes and instructions and I paid only 50.00 for all of this stuff. He said he went to a yard sale and got it all but the lady told him to just take it and not even pay for it. I got it for so cheap because he didn't pay a dime for it! Happy 25th birthday to me!

Cowabunga !

[bretttheleofan]

Thanks Koenne, hold out for it. I did and I found it!

[Samhain]

Congrats! Now that is a steal!

[Granitor]

wow man i think you got to that right before i did. I saw the same item and was going to take a look at it but was then advised it had been sold already .. damn lol

[bretttheleofan]

haha thanks guys, haha yes in cedarville?! Right outside of Dayton, I called him last night and went and got it all this morning. He said a lot of people kept backing out and I have no idea why this was a steal!

[Powder]

Holy crap!

[bretttheleofan]

glad you like it powder!

[bretttheleofan]

just got back from the flea market and the last turtles vehicle I am really looking for I found today! The mutant module it's missing a couple pieces but I only paid 2.00 for it, and I also hit it big with the Jim Lee Turtles. I got all three of the Jim Lee turtles MOC for 8.00 total! I am more than happy with that. Here are pics of what I picked up today.

[Samhain]

Once again, great hauling!

[bretttheleofan]

Ya man the same exact one as you lucky dog. I live in middletown just south of dayton

I see, haha I live in Northern KY right outside of Cincy. You ever go to Treasure Aisles or Traders World?

[Granitor]

I actually just got back from both right now haha .. i found the pizza shooter and turtles copter for 1 dollar each .. they are not in great shape but i figure i can refurbish them a bit like the old technodrome i had and they should look pretty good, not all the pieces but worth 1 buck for sure!

[bretttheleofan]

Haha sweet I got the mutant module and jim lee turtles at treasure aisles where did you get the copter?

[Granitor]

treasure aisle as well .. traders world was a bust they had nothing except for the vendors who know about the turtle worths ha


My current referbs I am working on .. adding the 2 from today

[bretttheleofan]

lol yeah I hardly go to traders world anymore, there is really only one seller I hit there and he sells the moc figures for 20-40. Haha was it outside at treasure aisles or inside you got that at? Man I didn't see it or else I'd have picked it up also! That seller may not have been there/opened when I was there cause I was there right at 9 when they opened.

[TheCanadiandrome]

man, dude, great finds there. i'm also looking for a complete Technodrome with box and the instructions/blue-prints. maybe i'll check craigslist

[bretttheleofan]

yeah man I got so lucky, I didn't know the box and instructions were with it until I got there. Only box I saw in the background was the sewer lair. I just got really lucky yesterday!

[TheCanadiandrome]

so jealous of you! rofl! :D

[bretttheleofan]

lol I have been wanting to get my hands on a technodrome for awhile haha

[TheCanadiandrome]

i need a new one to replace some missing parts and i want to clean mine up some. it's got loads of scrapes and scratches on it and general play-ware so i want to fix it up and make it presentable once i display it

[bretttheleofan]

lol my problem is I have ran out of display room. I need to get another display case from IKEA.

[TheCanadiandrome]

my problem is space in general! lol! it's a bummer still living at home with the folks, i need to get my debt under control and get another place of my own

[bretttheleofan]

I'm lucky my wife allows me room, but it is hard to keep everything out of reach of my 10 month old dauhter haha. I need to post updated pictures of my collection corner it is piling up.

[bretttheleofan]

[discordiatookie]

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_1212.jpg




See that blue dude that comes apart and has a one eyed monster underneath? My three year old niece got my one of that from my youth, as a bath toy She loves him. And I love that yellow beetle car. Twas a fave from my younger years. Love it.

[Granitor]

Ya man but I wish I could of got the blimp. I remember that when i was younger i loved that thing haha

[bretttheleofan]

haha yeah the h2 ghost and the highway haunter. Both classics.

[TheCanadiandrome]

damn dude. i'm in love with your collection! i'd like to get me a StayPuft Marshmellow Man. i've got Ecto 1 (minus alot of the stickers) and i've got the FireHouse (minus the sign) and a few other GB odds and ends. not sure if i've got any figs left though

[bretttheleofan]

Glad you like em, there is actually a site where you can grab scans of the old stickers and print them on sticker paper to make your ecto-1 look new again. I cant remember the site off hand but if you google ecto-1 stickers you will come across it. I have used them in the past on other ecto-1s. Yeah man I love the ghostbusters stuff there is only like 20 items out of the entire toy line that I dont have yet.

good thing there's ebay! and i might just google for those stickers when i put my collection up for display. would love to get the 4 Ghostbusters and Jenine first though

[bretttheleofan]

haha yeah I actually had just bought a huge ghostbusters lot at a yard sale about a month ago (also where I got my extra sewer playset) I paid I think 30.00 for the huge ghostbusters lot and the sewer playset, and the ghostbusters firehouse was complete along with the ecto-1. So I put the firehouse, ecto-1, an ecto-1A with reprint stickers, slimer, stay puft, a collectors case, complete original Egon with ghost and pack, and some other miscellaneous figures all extra stuff I already had at a buy it now of 200.00 and it sold that same day. I basically took what I needed from the lot at the yard sale and sold the rest!

man u sure gots good luck. i might have to start going to more yard sales around

[bretttheleofan]

yep, my luck usually comes from yard sales, craigslist, and flea markets.

[koenne]

Yeah , my luck also runs from there , offcourse don't forget ebay .
Cowabunga !

[TheCanadiandrome]

yep, my luck usually comes from yard sales, craigslist, and flea markets.

haven't thought of craigslist. what's your secret?

i've also tried a little site called Kijiji as well

[bretttheleofan]

I just check everyday for three different keyword results. I check ninja turtle, ninja turtles, and TMNT. I also post on there what I am looking for. Today I got a hit for a krang android body carded with collectors card and a robotic foot soldier carded with collectors card along with 4 MOTU carded figures from the 80's! I am hopefully going to work a trade with him sometime tomorrow night! So look for a post tomorrow night with my new scores.

awesome. can't wait to see

[bretttheleofan]

Someone was responding to my craigslist ad for turtles and also had MOTU figures. I said what the heck and to my surprise these particular figures are very valuable. They are going straight to ebay but I am keeping the turtles. He was interested in star wars. My brother happened to have some star wars figures sitting around collecting dust so I got them from him and traded this guy for them. I'd say I made out on the deal from the guy on craigslist, these are all pretty valuable!

Man you keep on getting lucky. haha great additions!!!

[bretttheleofan]

haha you know it! Thanks!

[TheCanadiandrome]

whatcha puttin up on ebay?

[bretttheleofan]

The Masters Of The Universe figures are up on there now. The turtles I kept for my collection.

[TheCanadiandrome]

ah of course. i'd do the same

[bretttheleofan]

haha yeah I don't collect them they just came as part of the deal I was more than happy to take them considering what they sell for!

[bretttheleofan]

Went to the flea market for my normal run and man I am so happy with my big haul today! My brother went with me and he wanted to go into a video game store that I have never gone into. The first thing I saw was the ghostbusters vinyl. I thought man I have to have that! I didn't have change for a $50 so they sent me to the office to get change. I got back and to my surprise right next to the ghostbusters album was the big Krangs body! The trip is I JUST bought a big krangs android body with box and instructions from splinter zombie last night and today I find this one haha. However it does not have the antenna or the front lid. I just couldn't pass it up. I for the life of me cant remember the name of the cycle I got besides the ninja news cycle. Anyhow here are some pics.

I soooo like the art on that puzzle .
Keep it up !

[bretttheleofan]

haha thanks, yeah that puzzle was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. I was so happy to come across it!

[Samhain]

Wow, very nice pickups.

[TheCanadiandrome]

dang dude! i so wanna come shopping with you. though me might end up fighting over stuff, lol!

[bretttheleofan]

haha we definitely would for sure. It'd be one of those " I saw it first moments"! I wonder if Granitor went there this weekend? He lives by me and usually frequents them. Granitor if you go there is a woman seller in Aisle 1 I believe of Treasure Aisles that has 3 tubs full of turtles. I was very happy when I found toon Don in there so I could complete my 4 toon turtles! She had two so if you need one there is another in there, however the one doesn't have the propelling bandana. I took the one that did!

I was very happy when I found toon Don in there so I could complete my 4 toon turtles! She had two so if you need one there is another in there, however the one doesn't have the propelling bandana. I took the one that did!
ah u guys are lucky!

[bretttheleofan]

haha I think I got really lucky this time.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i'd love to find the ghostbusters vinyl and that StayPuft Marshmellow Man

[bretttheleofan]

The ghostbusters vinyl is very cool. The cool thing about the stay puft bank is this person there had just bought it and the owner said I will have another tomorrow but it's like 45 minutes away so I said I'm not going to be able to come back out tomorrow. The person that had just bought it was like here you can have it I'll be back very soon I'm here all the time I can get another. That was very nice of him.

[TheCanadiandrome]

can u play the vinyl?

[bretttheleofan]

I actually dont have a record player haha. I got it because it was a nice piece for my collection!

[Demon_Shredder]

Awesome collection! I wish my GB toys were in your condition. My RGB Ecto 1 is missing almost everything. The figures I have have seen better days and my firehouse has a broken door and the sign is all scratched up. I'd love to find replacements but yardsales and flea markets here are kinda rare.

[bretttheleofan]

haha thanks man, yeah the ghostbusters are very hard for me to find when I do find them it is usually a big find at once.

[TheCanadiandrome]

ebay my friends! good ole ebay! that's what i'm going to use to find some GB items. i'd love to just get a sign for my firehouse. got everything else but that. and i need pieces for my RGB Ecto 1 as well

[bretttheleofan]

haha yes ebay is a good place to go, I am just a bargain hunter so I like to find mine in person. I don't think I've bought any of my ghostbusters on ebay.

[bretttheleofan]

Got this in today from splinter zombie. Thanks man!

my wife and I just put the puzzle together I got at the flea market on Saturday. This was like my absolute favorite puzzle when I was a kid.

[Granitor]

Whoa sorry I hadent been on the site in a while and sadly I did not make it last weekend like I had hoped. This weekend for sure you can bet your shell im gonna be there bright and early! :)

Btw: dang i hate you haha .. i missed out big time

[bretttheleofan]

haha yeah there was some great stuff there last weekend. There is a lady at Traders World who has the giant rocksteady and a loose foot soldier with profile card but she wants 12.00 for the foot soldier and 18.00 for the rocksteady! She will not budge, so there they will sit! I said well the Rocksteady has some paint loss and she was like what do you expect it is over 30 years old. I said no it is not it was made in 1990. :lol:

Yup i already talked to her as well, she wouldnt move an inch. She also had a mikey in the displace case i cant remember what series he was from but she wanted 6 for him .. ridic

[bretttheleofan]

Yup i already talked to her as well, she wouldnt move an inch. She also had a mikey in the displace case i cant remember what series he was from but she wanted 6 for him .. ridic

haha yeah she had toon mikey and sewer surfin mikey. She is so stingy.

[Granitor]

haha yeah she had toon mikey and sewer surfin mikey. She is so stingy.

Id be surprised if she ever sells them at those prices

[bretttheleofan]

totally agree, everytime I go there it is always the same stuff at her shop because she doesn't know how to haggle.

[bretttheleofan]

So I had picked up a big lot about a week ago and finally got around to actually picking it up from the guy. I knew there was a technodrome and sewer playset along with a few figures but I didn't expect to get all these figures a lot with accessories and even a movie star raph with both sais and belt!

Anyhow the technodrome and sewer playset are for sale I already have one of each I just couldn't pass up the lot of course. They will be put in the for sale thread. On with the pics

[Granitor]

Great finds yet again man. Technodrome looks like it needs some work tho

[bretttheleofan]

Yeah I picked those up off of craigslist. Basically I just wanted the figures but took the whole lot and put those two up on Ebay since I already have them. I was hoping the technodrome had the red circle that goes on Krang's platform. That is all I need and it didn't have it!

[Granitor]

link me to your ebay page may be interested in the sewer layer

Here it is.

[bretttheleofan]

got the mother of all toy lots for me locally today from craigslist.

I got this humongous lot for only 120.00! Some of you may think that is a lot but it is far from it considering everything I got here! I am taking what I need from here then everything else I already have will be going on ebay! I am positive I will make way more than my money back on this lot! Stuff I will be selling is the technodrome, firehouse, ecto-1, original 4 ghostbusters with proton packs, including 2 with ghosts, the ecto-2(helicoptor) the highway haunter (yellow bug) stay puft, etc, etc. as this is all stuff I already have. I will be keeping everything else as I didn't have it. So on with the pics!

[TheCanadiandrome]

omfg dude, congrats on that find! i might be after some of what u list.

[bretttheleofan]

Thanks, yeah I hoped he would take the 120.00 I offered him but basically soiled myself when he agreed.

[koenne]

Damn , i would definitly like to buy , a complete muckman , complete crome dome , complete metalhead , complete dirtbag if you sell them offcourse ..
Cowabunga !

[bretttheleofan]

haha well the dirtbag, chrome dome, and metalhead I am keeping because I didn't have those complete. Muckman on the other hand I have 3 complete one of them has dried up ooze in the trash can.

[koenne]

Hey , no prob . I'l find my figures some day .
Thx anyways !
Cowabunga !

[bretttheleofan]

no problem, post an ad on craigslist and I am sure the emails will pour in. That is how I got this lot. I posted on craigslist what I was looking for and came into this monster.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i need to do that i guess if i want to find what i'm lookin for.

edit, never mind just saw your listings on ebay! dude i wish you'd have given me dibs on the GB items, i'd have gotten the 4 Ghostbusters from ya!

[bretttheleofan]

haha I'm sorry man, I figured I'd put them in a lot with the ecto-1 and firehouse so they all go together!

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah just razzin ya, i'd have done the same!

[bretttheleofan]

yeah man the technodrome sold already, the ghostbusters have had offers but nothing I've accepted yet!

[TheCanadiandrome]

good luck to you, but i'm sure u don't need it. mister lucky with that horse-shoe up your butt! lol! i don't know how u do it! lol! i wish i had your knack for finding stuff :P :D

[bretttheleofan]

lmao I either find the stuff at the flea market or I post on craigslist what I am looking for and people come to me!

[TheCanadiandrome]

i'm going to try that. posting on ebay's "want it now" seems to do jack for me, as does kiijiji

[bretttheleofan]

haha yeah I just got some more stuff tonight, and this weekend I will be getting another ghostbusters lot with what looks like a proto in it!

[TheCanadiandrome]

oh man, please post pics, and for the love of god please let me at first dibs on some stuff! please???

[bretttheleofan]

lmao dude I had posted it on ebay by the time I posted that! The next time I come across some stuff I will let you know. The good thing is stuff I got tonight and already had the bidding starts at 0.99 with no reserve.

Now something I got in for my collection:

I did get this in today a comic exclusive

From the new upcoming real ghostbusters toy line by mattel which will be sold in Toys R Us stores starting early 2011.

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_1509.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_1510.jpg

[TheCanadiandrome]

wow, that's so freakin cool! how much?

[bretttheleofan]

They are going to be 20.00 in toys r us stores when they come out. They talk. This one was an SDCC exclusive from a certain episode that takes place right after the movies hence why he is in the movie style uniform. I paid 35.00 shipped for this pre-order which is not bad for me considering someone had to go to San Diego pay to get into comic con then ship this to me.

[TheCanadiandrome]

man, i'm going to keep an eye out for them. hopefully it'll be Toys R Us across North America, unlike the 25th Ann TMNT line

[bretttheleofan]

hopefully man, if not I think they will also be available on mattycollector.com

[TheCanadiandrome]

hopefully man, if not I think they will also be available on mattycollector.com
cool. good to know. any good TMNT stuff on there? also, i'm going to make a post on craigslist and on the two areas closest to my locale as well as maybe in your locale as well

[RockMax]

If there is one thing in this world that I loved as a kid, it was the ninja turtle box art. I always thought it was the coolest and better than the cartoon, because they looked so serious.

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah same with me, loved the box art

does anyone know how long before your ads show up on craigslist?

[bretttheleofan]

cool. good to know. any good TMNT stuff on there? also, i'm going to make a post on craigslist and on the two areas closest to my locale as well as maybe in your locale as well

Nope, Mattel doesn't do TMNT. Good luck with your craigslist endeavors! I'd stick to your area, I don't branch out away from my area unless it is within driving distance. I'm always afraid to deal buying out of my area on craigslist because there is no guarantee that it isn't fraudulent. I hear way too much fraud on Craigslist.

[bretttheleofan]

not that long usually you get an email confirming your listing.

[TheCanadiandrome]

not that long usually you get an email confirming your listing.

yeah, just did everything and now i've got an ad posted in my local area

[bretttheleofan]

sweet I hope you come across stuff!

[TheCanadiandrome]

sweet I hope you come across stuff!
yeah me too. with recent problems with USPS and Canada Post i dunno how easy it will be

[bretttheleofan]

what has been going on?

[TheCanadiandrome]

well for one thing, packages taking way to dang long to arrive, and then getting the complete run-around when i inquire as to why

[bretttheleofan]

I see, you gotta love slow parcels.

[TheCanadiandrome]

mhm. oh well. i guess if i don't find it in Canada i don't get it. but then again...maybe

[bretttheleofan]

Yeah I know it has to be hard for international bidders man I just had my eyes opened to shipping costs for my ghostbusters lot and my jaw dropped. If someone in Australia bids on my ghostbusters lot becauset the box is 18x18x24 and weighs roughly 10 lbs it cannot be sent priority international. It would have to be sent express which is a jaw dropping 480.00! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. So I was sure to put the huge description about international shipping. It doesn't make sense because to ship it to the U.K. it can be sent priority international and it is 35.35 in UK pounds whatever that is in U.S. it's weird how it all depends on your international location.

[bretttheleofan]

I picked this stuff up on my flea market run today. The 2 Aprils and Mitsu I payed 10.00 for all 3. I got the huge bag of accessories, and a few loose turtles.

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/007.jpg

[markberry]

which flea markets do you go to?
my mom has told me about this huge one i should go to out near Dayton,Oh

[bretttheleofan]

probably talking about the ones I go to called Treasure Aisles and Traders World. They are half way between Cincinnati and Dayton.

[markberry]

ill have to ask her cause she lives in Richmond - might have to go next time im out there

[bretttheleofan]

Yeah man if you do go, let me know it's a toy collectors heaven.

[bretttheleofan]

my latest haul in today from craigslist and a toys r us exclusive I picked up.

The trip about these turtles is the guy told me he had them at a flea market and couldn't sell them. It is one of the flea markets I always go to but I have NEVER seen these there or this guy. Anyhow glad I got these, and got them for a steal at that. I also used to own this diecast delorean and I sold it. I always regretted it and then found someone on craigslist selling it. I bought it in a heartbeat. The toys r us exclusive is pretty rare, I got this one for myself and found another to offer up on ebay if anyone is interested. On with the pics..

Nice pickup (again :p) , are you gonna open them up ? Cause the look kinda beat up ..
Cowabunga !

[bretttheleofan]

thanks! No I'm gonna keep them in the packages.

[Squirrel_Lips]

Nice buys! I never have any luck with Craigs List. Those don't look beat up to me, lol!
Nice collection btw! I'm big into Ghostbusters too. You get some awesome flea market scores. I go every Sunday, I usually find some decent things mostly every week....except for when it rains...which has been the case for the last 3 weeks.

[bretttheleofan]

Thanks man, where are you from? I find a lot of stuff at flea markets. This weekend I am going to go hopefully score some stuff from an estate sale.

[Nelson]

I didn't even know they made a Delorean for the Minimates line! Nice score, man!

[bretttheleofan]

yeah it just came out recently, thanks! I posted the extra one up I had and yesterday it sold for 45.85 with in about an hour.

[jwiz154]

thanks! No I'm gonna keep them in the packages.

Trust me on this...... Spray them with "Lemon Pledge", then wipe them down. You'll be amazed at how nice the cards will look!! I've been using it so much, I should buy stock in the company

[bretttheleofan]

I will have to get some!

[TheCanadiandrome]

those BTTF cars look awesome

[bretttheleofan]

thanks! I love them!

[J Mondo]

I can't see Marty McFly without hearing Huey Lewis. It's weird.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I can't see Marty McFly without hearing Huey Lewis. It's weird.
lol, yup for sure

[bretttheleofan]

haha totally with you. It's the power of love!

[J Mondo]

Do you have the mini Toyota pick up with lift kit?

[bretttheleofan]

no sirrrr I do not.

[TheCanadiandrome]

haha totally with you. It's the power of love!

well i was kinda going for "Johny B Good"

[bretttheleofan]

Haha well Johnny B Goode was Chuck Berry. Huey Lewis was the Power of Love. I will say the Johnny B Goode scene is classic and I learned to play that song on my guitar just for that very reason. Both songs and Earth Angel are on my sd card in my car radio because of this movie. :)

[TheCanadiandrome]

Haha well Johnny B Goode was Chuck Berry. Huey Lewis was the Power of Love.

ah see i wasn't sure of that. thanks for clearing that up for me :)

[bretttheleofan]

ah see i wasn't sure of that. thanks for clearing that up for me :)

no problem, both great musicians and great songs!

[TheCanadiandrome]

no problem, both great musicians and great songs!
yup for sure. both fit the movie very well

[bretttheleofan]

I went to an estate sale today and picked up a huge lot of ghostbusters stuff, with some turtles and one beetlejuice item. I got all this for 20.00!!! the Proton pack alone would sell for 100.00 or more on ebay. Anyhow on with the pics!

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/ghostbusterslot1.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/ghostbusterslot.jpg

I had a sticker sheet for the proton pack so I cleaned the pack removed all the stickers

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/protonpackstickersremoved.jpg

and then it looks as good as new!

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/protonpacklikenew.jpg

[TheCanadiandrome]

dude, that's all freakin sweet. u keeping it all?

[bretttheleofan]

as of right now I am, because I am moving in a month to my new place so things aren't really organized right now. In about a month I will figure out what I am selling and what I am keeping. I know for sure I am keeping the pack, pke, armband, ghostzapper, some ghosts, and the beetlejuice vanishing vault. The rest I may sell but I'm still trying to decide.

[bretttheleofan]

got a huge hall at the flea market today! I got these turtles at 3.00 a piece and 10.00 on the slimer. The shirts were buy 5 for 10.00 so I got these three and my wife got 2!

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/IMG_20100918_113225.jpg

I was amazed when I was walking past a table and came across this, I did a double take! I have one loose but not one in the box. This thing goes for 100-150.00 on ebay. I got him for 20.00
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/IMG_20100918_112947.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/IMG_20100918_113030.jpg

Last but not least I found another pack for a real ghostbusters proton pack. That was great because I had an extra gun, sticker sheet, and another PKE Meter. I was able to complete this.

[bretttheleofan]

new stuff I got today! I went to the toys r us express today by me for the first time, found slash, shredder, and foot soldier even though I already have them. Mine are in not as good of shape as these. My shredder was received from Toys R Us with a hole in the bubble and my foot soldier had a crack in the bubble. All three of these are perfect!

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_0196.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_0197.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s252/brettfields/SAM_0198.jpg

[TheCanadiandrome]

dude, freakin sweetness there! i've got to hit up TrU and see if i can find Slash

[Sword Slicin' Leo]

[TheCanadiandrome]

oh wow, i never even knew that toyline existed! i thinks those might be what i want to find!

[bretttheleofan]

haha yeah they are the last line of the gbs to actually be released before the line died out. They saw a very limited release. Kenner did have several things in the works but nothing made it out of the prototype stage past these.

[cartoonistaaron]

I just went thru all the photos, where is this magical flea market where you are finding this stuff? All I find locally is total crap!

To be honest, I know this is a TMNT forum but I am loving the Ghostbusters stuff. I thought I was the only guy with equally large Ghostbusters and TMNT collections.

Very nice stuff!

[bretttheleofan]

haha thanks man! There are two of the that are right across the street from each other. One is called Treasure Aisles and the other is called Traders World. Here are the sites!

[TheCanadiandrome]

awesome man, very organized

[bretttheleofan]

lol I know that is a first for me right?! The only thing is my turtle vehicles are still boxed up. I haven't found a place for them that includes my sewer playset as well.

[papa_smurf73]

Wow. I live pretty close to Traders world and Treasure Aisle. I have never been to Treasure Aisle though. Looks like you have found some cool stuff. The few times I have been to Traders World they are way over priced. There is a guy there who sits on his toys. I think I went back after a year of visiting him for the first time, and his prices on TMNT gear had increased even though they were just sitting on his shelf. I realize that toys only gain in value with age, but this guys prices were ridiculous to begin with, and on top of that he clearly didn't even care about the toys.

Do you have any good negotiating tips you might be able to share? Seems like you have come to score some very solid deals.

[bretttheleofan]

I know who you are talking about at traders world. He is the older man with the beard and glasses. I don't go to traders world too often because it is hard to find the deals there. Treasure Aisles is where I usually get the great deals. Traders world sometimes, but yeah that guy is trying to sell shredder for like 40.00 etc. I usually just say how much do you want for this, they give me a price if I don't think it's worth it (usually it is) I will say Will you take this much? Sometimes they say yes, sometimes they offer another price.

[papa_smurf73]

Thanks for the advice!

I wonder... Are you the guy who is posting on the Cincy craigs-list, asking for Ghost Buster and TMNT toys? haha... I've seen a posting while looking there for turtle toys haha. Maybe it's you?

Anyhow, if you ever come across anything Turtle related you don't need or want in the Cincy area, let me know... I might be interested. I'll do the same for you.

Turtle Power!!
-papa_smurf73

[bretttheleofan]

haha yes that is me!

And I will do the same for you.

[bretttheleofan]

[raphfan84]

Man this stuff brings back memories! I had nothing but TMNT and Ghostbusters toys when I was young. I loved my proton pack but my little brother got mad at me one day and tore the stickers off of it! I have not owned one since. Is that a movie prop Proton pack you have that I saw in the pics?:tgrin:

[bretttheleofan]

It sure is, I built it. It has lights and sounds including the theme song.

[TheCanadiandrome]

dude, that JP T-Rex is freakin sweet! so's the mini Ecto-1! didn't know they made those

[bretttheleofan]

thanks the JP T-Rex I picked up for 5.00! The mini ecto-1a is from a fujifilm giveaway when ghostbusters 2 came out. It was packaged with rolls of film when you bout them. I was very happy to find it at the flea market. I've been ebay looking at it for a while now.

ah so in other works it's rare then

[bretttheleofan]

yeah pretty much, but I mean there are the hot wheel version and the johnny lightning version as well.

[raphfan84]

Wow!!! Man that looks identical to the one used in the movies. You ought to make a few and try selling them, I always wanted a real one when I was young! Mad props though man looks great!:thumbsup:

[bretttheleofan]

thanks my friend and I actually sell the sound chips, light kits, and resin parts. I really would like to make more but this one took months to build since I don't have much time to dedicate to it. My 15 month old daughter takes up most of my time.

[raphfan84]

Hey I understand that. I got a 3yr. old and she usually has my attention. But once again awesome collection!

[bretttheleofan]

thanks man I appreciate it!

[bretttheleofan]

Added these guys to my collection today! Picked all of them up at the flea market for 45.00 total.

Picked up all of these for a little under 5.00 a piece

[TheCanadiandrome]

man those JP figs make me a little sad and envious, cause i wish i'd have kept all my JP stuff instead of parting with it! damn it! i had the freakin Compound!

[bretttheleofan]

yeah man that was a pleasant surprise to find those. It is my favorite movie so finding those was a rush. That's the first time I've found packaged jp stuff in the wild. Next week he said he would have old alien and predator stuff so I am going to check that out for sure.

[TheCanadiandrome]

dude, if u love JP you've got to find the Compound! that thing was sick!

[bretttheleofan]

haha I know, I don't think I had it. I did have the mobile command center though I wish I still did!

[TheCanadiandrome]

the mobile command center? didn't know about that. did u have the jeeps?

[bretttheleofan]

yep you know the trailer from lost world. Only vehicle I have right now is the lost world jeep that lights up. I want to get the jungle explorers and the jeep.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i had the the jungle explorer and the jeep. but never got any of the Lost World stuff or any of the JP III items.

man i wish i hadn't just handed my collection over to my younger cousin. not even sure if he'd still have it so i could get it all back either :(

[papa_smurf73]

What was the new flea market you went to? Looks like you really made out muh friend.

[bretttheleofan]

haha yeah I know I wish I had half the stuff I had when I was younger.

Papa smurf it was Caesars Creek.

[papa_smurf73]

Haha I thought so. I saw that Montey Moose there last week. I was trying to talk the guy down, not that it was a bad price, but he wouldn't budge to save his life.

[bretttheleofan]

I know it, I tried to trade him so others that I had extras of and he was like no. Heck I thought the 9.00 was a great price for him. Did you see he had the cyber samurai turtles as well? I went to another seller that that mainly sells guns and bought the otho and soft head unpunched splinter combined for 10.00

[raphfan84]

yep you know the trailer from lost world. Only vehicle I have right now is the lost world jeep that lights up. I want to get the jungle explorers and the jeep.

My cousin collects JP stuff, and he is trying to sell off his collection! Idk much about the JP toys but I know he has a ton and all in great shape. If you like I can check with him to see what all he has left if your interested?

[papa_smurf73]

I went to another seller that that mainly sells guns and bought the otho and soft head unpunched splinter combined for 10.00

I didn't see the Cyber Samrai stuff he had. I did; however, find someone else there selling them. I picked up a shredder carded for only $5.00. Didn't think that was too bad.

Dude I really pushed that guys buttons on that Montey Moose haha. Almost to the point the dude wouldn't even look at me. I literally had $8.00 in my hand, and he wouldn't take it. lol. I think his price was more than reasonable, but that figure had been sitting on his shelf for-flippin-ever. haha. Sorry just venting. I didn't really even want the figure that badly. More than anything it just irritated the junk out of me he wouldn't budge.

I'm really happy you scored some good stuff though man. The soft head splinter is great. Especially carded dude. I recently scored a loose one. He's incomplete, but I'll eventually get around to completing him.

[bretttheleofan]

I'm more or less interested in the unopened stuff but you can check with him and I can let you know.

Papa smurf that's awesome about the Shredder, I know I hate it when people wont haggle at the flea markets it sucks! At another one there is an asian lady I argued with over the giant Rocksteady it was opened and very played with and she wanted 18.00 for it. I tried giving her 10.00 and she wouldn't. I said it has a ton of paint loss and she tried to say what do you expect it's over 30 years old though it had 1990 stamped on it :lol:

[raphfan84]

Ok man ill check for you. I know alot of it is still in the boxes but he also does have loose stuff that from what I can tell is complete, but ill find out for you and let you know something buy the end of the week.

[bretttheleofan]

sounds good!

[General Spook X]

my wife and I just put the puzzle together I got at the flea market on Saturday. This was like my absolute favorite puzzle when I was a kid.

Man I absolutely love your collection! I am a huge Turtle fan and Ghostbuster fan! It's good to see Ghostbuster toys, you just don't see alot of there stuff now a days. The Batman figure though that is just freaking awesome!!! I had that as a kid def was my favorite Batman figure. Do you get alot of these toys at Flea Markets? If so where is it located?

[bretttheleofan]

I do get most at flea markets in Cincinnati Ohio. The mattel ghostbusters though I buy on Mattycollector.com

[raphfan84]

Oh ok cool deal. To bad I don't have a flea market down here to get items like that. We have one with a little toy booth, but he never has much other than Star Wars stuff.:(

[bretttheleofan]

Yeah I live in Kentucky about 10 minutes outside of Cincinnati OH and the flea markets are around 40-45 minutes away. There is one in KY about 15 minutes away but it is terrible and they don't have anything. I always go to the Cincinnati ones to get my deals and steals.:D

[TheCanadiandrome]

The mattel ghostbusters pretty sweet

[bretttheleofan]

Thanks glad you like em.
