Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
I was able to snag a SDCC Rapunzel for about £15-ish (can't remember the exact amount..) from Forbidden Planet a while back, after a fellow member brought it to my attention. Was quite a steal cause I think it was around $45/$50 on Ebay at that time, and that's without the insane shipping I would probably have to pay.

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
About a year ago, I was in an antique store looking around and was told that there were comics and toys upstairs. So I checked it out. Didn't see much but as I was walking out, on a shelf above the door sat a Count Chocula and Grumpy. Bought the pair for 23 bucks!

Finding Holographic Darth Vader and Batgirl on a trip to Paris for 20euros each (approximately 25USD at the time) got a couple of older Disney on that trip as well but nothing as good as that deal.

Rhode island iron man for 1 penny I believe in 2014 off of amazon. It was a mistake on their part but they still honored the order.

I don't have too many big "steals", but I did get a Black Widow from the Winter Soldier at a local toy store for $5.

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
Picked up a blue boxed Bossk for $12 at ECCC this year. It was mixed in with all the current non-variants. It was right when the doors opened on day 1, so, I'm thinking the vendor just didn't set things up right or notice as they could have easily asked for $40-50.

I picked up a B&W Thing last August for $8. And I picked up a few Avengers for $8 each when Walgreens first started offering exclusives. I'm not sure anyone had ever looked at the Pops in those stores before.

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
I think this was pretty good. I'm a new collector. Got the whole set of Thundercats. Including tho the GITD Mumm-Ra which apparently was an exclusive and is worth a lot. For 185. The whole set. Includes shipping and insurance and protectors for all of them. I think it was a good deal. Guy said I teabagged him for sure hahahaha. What do u guys think? He Mumm-Ra alone was worth at least $200

I got one of the Winter Soldier Pop!s from the Winter Soldier movie for $11 when he was $45 to $50 everywhere else. I also got a bunch of brand new recently released Pop!s for about $3 each once.

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
For me, it'd have to be the Zombie Jake I got off ebay for $75 a couple weeks ago (got it at that price due to some box discoloration) and my pair of Darksiedes (regular and gitd), $75 for the pair from Facebook.

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
I bought 8 Rocky Balboa's in one shot from PC for their normal retail price. Whole order probably came out around $100 US. That was when they were the only dealers left with advertised stock. Ended up giving them all out to friends as little gifts for Christmas. In hindsight, I should have just taken them all out for dinner and covered the tab instead of handing out Rocky's

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
When I first started collecting, I'd only buy pops when they went on sale at FYE and Barnes and Noble. From FYE I got, what is still my favorite set, the entire run dmc crew all for 1.99 each. That same day I also picked up reggae rasta, gremlin and ozzy for $1.99 too. Also my accidental best haul was when the Simpsons pops went on sale at Barnes and Noble. It was the final sale week, so everything was $2. They had 8-10 of each Simpsons characters, I bought them all with intentions of using them as Xmas gifts. Lucky for me I stored them in my basement and found them again when they went up in price. Finding these later really helped fill out my collection.

Re: Best "steal" you've ever found?
I'd say all my pops except maybe 3-4 are all steals, as I bought everything for retail when pops first came out and as they were released. Was only until recently I paid some market prices to fill some gaps in the collection.

SDCC Flocked Sulley and GITD Mike, and the ultimate F Box (Fugitive Toys) early last year. The box contained a Penguin, GITD White Lantern Flash, Lotso, Winnie the Pooh, Inverse Deadpool, Dr. Manhattan, B&W Loki, Sorcerer Mickey, and more. I also scored quite a few others along the way from fellow collectors and comic cons.
