Best Op shop/antique store tf find

[iceburn]

Op shopping used to yield promise back in the day but nowadays its very trendy and a lot of sellers and enthusiasts are scouring op shops for toy bargains.

Success depends on luck and location. You'll most likely find some recent stuff like cybertron or maybe classics.

I find that regional op shops (outside of capital cities) have pretty neat stuff. No TF's last time I went but I did find a kickass tie for $1.

is it a TF tie????

Well this wasnt an op shop, it was at a trash and treasure market.
Was a great find I thought, not as great as jaydisc's fort max though haha.

I found the following

• Blaster Complete
• Scourge Complete
• Blurr Complete
• Hound Mostly Complete
• Soundwave Near Complete
• Roadbuster Accessories
• Blue G2 Grimlock Bot Only

There were a few others but my memory is a bit vague atm haha.
All cost me $20

On alot of other days there have been sweet FA.

My mum goes to op shops alot for me, usually picks up some stuff, she found me one of the bots for reflector, in pretty good nic as well.
Just have to be at the right place at the right time I suppose.

I found Pipes at a market with one broken wheel in 1991. Other than Jay, perhaps, I'd stake money that none of us have done better than Heroicdecepticon:

Sh*t!! Heroic_decepticon is one lucky b*stard. But then again, he also passed up on the 60cm diameter bag full of TF goodies for only $30.....who knows what might have been in that.

Thats it, time to wake my a** up early this weekend and hit them swap-meets.....lol.

That's way better than mine.

Has anyone had any good finds from garage sales? If so, then when and where? I vaguely remember back in 1995 passing on buying a box of toys that included G1 Ultra Magnus, instead purchasing a bag of MOTU figures which I was into back then.
