And I mean that seriously. I have found some ok things down here in Mexico. But NOTHING like this. That is why I call this the haul of hauls. Are you with me? I mean....This was found....in a flea market in MEXICO! I was shocked. Wifey and I went to the pulgas one Sunday. I did not expect to find too much. Maybe 2 or 3 figures on my list as per usual. So I picked up a GI JOE figure for Ray to do a custom with and I saw this out of the corner of my eye...
Um...I usually never cuss but holy crap! The 1980 Darth Vadar carrying case I had as a kid!!! Really? I would expect to find this in the U.S. at a comic show but not out in a parking lot in the hot sun in frickin Saltillo. I put the Gi joe figure down and asked how much this was. 25$ American dollars. Without hesitation I told my wife to get out the pesos.
Wait....The case actually had 20 vintage Star Wars figures in it! What is that? An original Yoda WITH snake! I was bowled over.
It even had their guns in the side pocket! OMG!
I had this in 1980. I never thought I would own this again. Honestly. It was something that was not even on my radar. The figures yes, the playsets definitly. But the case? Not in a million years. I filled it with some of the figures I got last year to make it fuller looking.
I am so happy to have this by accident. So happy. I wonder what other treasures are out there that I do not have to pay exorbate prices on ebay for. Can I get my entire childhood back?
Now if I could just find a GI JOE carrying case full of figures...and a Heman...and a Sectaurs etc. haha
Wow, that's an epic find! Congrats!
