AD Thrift Rescue

would've loved this back then

don't buy into the hype - it's really just surveillance on you and your friends.

1977 craft book "Paper Movie Machines" seen at thrift. "ZOETROPE"s to cut out and make yourself. Though THANKFULLY no one has cut this 48+ year old book up. yet.

"BLUETIFUL BLUE"

This giant combined VOLTRON LEGENDARY DEFENDER set was $4 at thrift but I left it behind. Too big, and no yellow lion. LUCKILY after I put it down this millennial picked it up and stuck it in his cart. I wished him the best and told him I was glad he's going to a good home.

(it's a joke.. obviously if they're paying for brand name colors they can afford it)

i've got a weakness for tiny anthropomorphic flocked animal toys. Calico Critters and such. This one is from "Honey Bee" a little cow that SO cute.

at local used CD store

GOOFY Playstation Mug at thrift. Almost picked it up but dang that CONTROLLER handle is too massive!

Transformers Animated (2007) Optimus Prime "Role Play" wearable blaster arm at thrift. i DO collect animated but this is too big for my collection.

"CHILD CRAFT" (sorry I forgot to get the pub date)

cute pink bear at thrift

obviously legos are the infinite "mix and match" but to encourage it as a play feature / selling feature - YES this is the way denmark!

Why didn't HASBRO do this ??? have a REBELLE set that was unicorn and pegasus themed??!?! OH WAT COULD HAVE BEEN

seen at local game shop. pandasaurus games.

saw this GEARS set at thrift. underneath it looks just like the Discovery Toys Safari gears building sets from the 1980s - BUT with a... TRUCK SHELL?? I've never seen a set like this. Love the concept but I'm not sure where they were headed. is this also by Discovery Toys?

SCARDEY BEAR Sweet Pickles book. This is the "B" book; They have an animal and a book for each letter in the alphabet. Each character is a certain emotion - the stories ATTEMPT to discuss that emotion but... don't really achieve it all that well. more often than not they character is simply shown experiencing the emotion... and then the book ends. ANYWAY I still want all 26.
