Slim Pickens today, our last trip to Thorpe Arch boot sale this year.
A forty minute drive is too much for a dwindling outdoor sale reduced solely to traders with only the odd family braving the cold with a stall. We'll start going again next year.
My only purchase was the 50p mystery man dated 2016. Any ideas folks?
Are you still car booting or flea marketing?
PS.
Identified by Bill, here's what a bubble carded Mechanic looked like. Mines missing the tools.
Anyone else got this figure?
its The Mechanic from the new animated Thunderbirds Are Go series, Bill
ReplyDeleteReally! Thunderbirds! Wow, thanks Bill.
DeleteYep. Sadly never saw this figure nor the Hood at TRU here in the states. I did snag some of the TBs and figures of the Traceys though. Oh and a Brains and Max.
DeleteWell done getting what you got Lance. Has TRU gone now in the US?
DeleteTRU was gone but is back sort of. They currently occupy about a fourth of the second floor of Macy's. The tiny selection is a lot of garbage that'd be at home at Ollies. In Canada, there's still about 50 TRU stores open but all of the Target stores closed down.
DeleteFascinating Lance. Oddly enough I saw a TRU sign inside another shop here recently!
DeleteI got the Mechanic figure just before they started to drop off the shelves. Bill
ReplyDeleteThe Mechanic should have fixed em. The shelves!
