Yep, I'm pretty sure mike's wife got a pic with all our butts up in the air while we were leaning over the bin. I (like everyone else) am hoping that doesn't see the light of day..
Not to spoil anything for anyone, but the $2 bin had only about 15 actual 2 dollar joes in it, and the rest was junk non-joe figures, and joe parts and accessories. I'm working on changing that at least a little.
One thing that I do know is that the $2 bin has officially moved to non-profit status. I'm hoping to figure out a way to make it a renewable resource. I don't have Mikes resources, but I do think that there may be a way to keep it going.
But mike - you're welcome to anything you need. Now that I've organized it a little better, I might be able to find what you are looking for if you send me a parts list.
Ed, we may be able to work something out, say a little donation of unwanted figures for some accessories if you can find what you need. Not sure that you'll find it though, the majority of the stuff in the bins was accessory pack stuff and rocket launchers. Still, I've bagged the rocket launchers, guns, backpacks and helmets seperately to make it a little easier to go through.
On a personal victory note, From the bin, I did finally get the replacement arm for my 85 snake eyes that I've been searching for for more than a decade and a half. I can finally play with him again without worrying about the hairline crack in his thumb that kept him from holding a sword.
And I swiped the Red Star rocket launchers for a custom project, because they are just that damned cool.
I've been trying to write a comprehensive review of the day, but the words just aren't coming to me. From getting almost all of the original Night Force at a discount, to drawing Loop's blood over $2 figures (Sorry!) to trying to get Pete to buy a ninja cycle that I painted as a kid, to finally buying the '83 base I've been looking at for years, to getting the $2 bin, the day is a blur, and I just can't do it justice.
I'd prefer that BHT still be open, but when it went out, no man who was there could say that it didn't go out with a bang.
