I have had astonishing luck in the past week.

First, I found an Etsy shop dedicated to old media who had a plethora of Classic Collection VHS tapes for great prices. And they took 20% off, so I saved about $15 and basically got Invisible Agent for free (I've noticed that one in particular is fairly pricey for some reason.)


After that, I was at a second-hand store that had a very specific, no longer in production(AKA currently overpriced by people on eBay) Lego set that I've wanted for about a year now. It was half the cost of the cheapest set on Ebay. I customize Legos to make Scooby-Doo characters and I'm always trying to find settings for my monsters. So, I finally got my swamp shack and customized it a little for my witch and zombie.



The very next day I went to a yard sale literally because the people had clearly put a lot of effort into their signs and it gained my interest. I never go to yard sales. It was very spur of the moment. I found, just in the middle of a bunch of junk, a Disney Parks exclusive Haunted Mansion coaster that I wanted but never bought. And, you guessed it, is no longer in production, so it's terribly overpriced on Ebay. I got it for $1.


And, finally, today, my wife and I found ourselves at an antique mall where I found this vinyl Metaluna Mutant model kit. I had no idea what it was, but I loved it. I did some research and discovered that it was a Tsukuda model kit from 1984. I'm not overly familiar with model kits, but just from some minimal research I could tell that this thing was expensive. But this guy clearly didn't know what he had because it was labeled "Mars Attack Alien" and he only wanted $20 for it.


And the same guy selling the Mutant model had 1976 King Kong promotional glasses and I had to have the one with Kong fighting a giant snake.

Yeah you did! 

Great collection of UM VHS tapes and a super deal on that Tsukuda Mutant!

Picked up this 4" Frankenstein bust.  Fan made, it is cast in resin and extremely light.







Not a world-beater, but I kinda like its simplicity.  Besides, it was listed with something else that I was sure I could sell to recoup my full purchase price.  Hard to pass up free items.

It's the Ian McKellenstein monster?

Goodies in the mailbox! Got my Rapco Creature bust, my Creature ring and a stack of mags!

Did you get your candle, Adam? I noticed he sold one.

Yeah.  Much nicer than I thought it would be.  I just haven't taken pictures, yet.

Thanks

'Got this photo for Mike Scott and other Creature fans around here - at a local vintage toy store.

I will guess it's Homer turning into the Creature.

Not with that beard.  It's Groundskeeper Willie.

I think Homer was King Kong in that series? There's a nice unlicensed Homer as The Creature, though.
