Didn't that then just stir up a really old memory! So cool to hear you had one or more of these. The black cowboy named Deadwood Dick is the money figure in this lot but sadly mine has a missing arm. After checking up on these the first time I checked for those horses with the rivots in the legs and was lucky to find them along with the Battlestar Galactica figure there and it holds value too cause most of those figures are missing the tail.

It does. My Mother worked at a FW Woolworth's when I was a child and surely got those cowboy action figures for us to go along with out Star Wars figures. I don't remember too much about them but the look. I never was much for cowboys so I don't know what became of that figure and any others I may have had.

The horses looks kinda familiar. This Legends of the West series had more then I remember. It's something that someone had some of these after all these years.

This line has a lot of popular names in history, makes me wonder if that would be a premium to pay for now? Cowboy and Indian lines just aren't in demand anymore like before but this may look like the last of a solid line. Actually pretty nice stuff for the 70s a shame we don't get more of this stuff. I do remember Mega Construx doing a Cowboy train robbery set I think? I do like getting the Mega horses and have many in different colors. Got lots of toys from Woolsworth stores back in the day, cool that your Mom worked there.

Past two weeks have been weak hunting, maybe yesterday I might have found a head or two to try. I have found shirts now which are a plus cause I wouldn't wear a thrift shirt but now have found quality name brand stuff and at good prices.

[Bayushi Gemma]

Nothing great to report in awhile my last hunt I found possible heads for customs and a broken G1 Jetfire missing his arms.

Do you get any custom fodder from Ebay these days?

[Bayushi Gemma]

Oh yeah I'm constantly looking at Mega Construx and Battle Beasts auctions. I'm always looking for something to convert but the thrift store is the best bet for that.

BG's latest thrift store haul.

[Bayushi Gemma]

I cleaned the Gameboy Advance contacts of battery acid and it works! One problem is I don't have the charger but it did come with a game too and it was Backyard Football which sucks. LOL The G1 Jetfire is missing arms so it's not complete the other stuff is Wasteland potential. I actually cut the Ox head and it looks pretty good to me.

Do you have any carded Star Wars figures from the 1977-1983 movies? Though not carded, I have two Imperial Gunners from the 1984 line. I love the design at the time and got two.

I may still have the coin to this figure. I think I have a few other figures from this late original Star Wars run.

[Bayushi Gemma]

No none really from the 70s to 80s, maybe I regret not getting a carded Boba Fett cause he was my favorite figure back in the day.

Do you have any loose Star Wars figures from your childhood? Do these old Star Wars figures ever show up at the Thrift shop? Luckily they didn't have those pesky o-rings the GI Joe figures had.

[Bayushi Gemma]

No I didn't save the Star Wars figures cause the articulation wasn't up to par with GI Joe, I just had more fun with my Joes. Yes I found many Star Wars figures and very few GI Joe figures. I keep them in a bag and will likely sell them when I get to it.

Besides your 1984 Storm Shadow do you have any carded GIJoe figures from that era, the 1982-1988 line?

Found some Star Wars stuff this weekend in my thrift store hunting but nothing picture worthy I think. Some potential Dino heads and a tiger head too that may be too big?

[Bayushi Gemma]

nothing much to report this week just some more possible head chops of Dinos and another polo style shirt.
