Flea Market

Which ninja turtles action figures can you find at the flea market.

Considering that there are probably dozens of flea markets going on every day around the country...

You can find almost anything at those things.

It all depends on how big the flea market is and what they have in your area. You might find a lot of loose figures as well as a few new ones.

I can find most of the early common figures with no parts. People think old stuff is worth gold or something. This guy wanted $4 a figure for bare figs. What a ripoff. I would pay $1 tops to someone that doesn't know what the heck they even have. The only half decent thing I saw was a sergeant bananas. I already have 2, but what is one more? Didn't buy it though. Flea market people make me laugh.

Soft heads, soft heads, and more soft heads.
lots of out of package tmnt, and maybe some biker mice thrown in the tmnt bin. Sometimes even some he-man figures too.
You'll probably find mostly older tmnt figures like series 1-4. Those also seem to be the easiest to find on ebay too. The later figures aren't as easy to find because the TMNT weren't as popular any more , plus the production numbers weren't as high. Good luck finding a loose Scratch or even Mona Lisa at a flea market.
Every once in awhile you will run into something rare. I found four or five moc figures with pop-ups at a flea market.. I also found a Hulk #181 in good shape for $25, and the 2nd Punisher appearance for a buck.
You have to sift through alot of junk to find the gold, though.

I'd say you could probably find most of those at flea markets... Watch the Wacky Action Turtles though, especially Sewer Swimmin' Don...From what I remember, he broke really easily.
The blimp might be a little harder to find...But not impossible.

I found in one booth at my local flea market (old line figures of course) Casey Jones, Splinter (no robe), Rocksteady, Rat King, Michaelangelo and Wacky Michaelangelo. None had weapons or belts and they looked pretty played with. All were priced at a dollar (I think) which isn't bad.

On a side note, in case anyone can't find any figures from the old days and is looking for one, maybe I can get it for you. I know of another store that has some used ones as well. PM me if you want...
