Holy past the expiration date, Batman! A sealed box of Batman movie cereal with the toy bank still inside!
Someday, I'll have a room filled with weird old lamps, and this is where I'll go to buy 'em all.
BALLS.
When you see vintage Star Wars figures in cases like this, you know they're gonna be overpriced.
It's been how many years now, and we still don't have cars that look this cool because why?
Damnit, I need these chairs.
The Millennium Falcon has seen better days.
I just love the tagline to that book entitled The Big Brain.
"Faster than a computer! Deadlier than a laser!"
When people describe me, that's the kind of thing I hope they say.
"Roger? Watch out for that guy! He's faster than a computer and deadlier than a laser!"
I really liked this old watchmaker's kit. If only I had an interest in making watches...
Swords and other ridiculous blades - a staple of flea markets.
There will always be some home decor items that I will simply never understand.
I'm not sure if it's a huge pair of jeans or one of those tarps used to cover baseball fields during rain delays.
I used to have that Pac-Man lunchbox, but sadly not the grapes or the cat clock.
To whomever ended up purchasing this:
Whatever price you paid, I'm sure it was a steal!
Even the ventriloquist dummy appears to be creeped out by all of those Raggedy Anne dolls.
Robo Sam the Answer Man. Considering he's a robot, shouldn't he be referred to as the "Answer Bot" instead?
DRINK IT UP!
In case your local Six Flags shuts down during these tough economic times, you can enjoy the miniature version.
These purple chairs would go perfectly with those two panther tables I wanted.
It's always time for root beer.
Old NES and Intellivision games still in the box? Not a bad find at all!
These old skateboards have seen better days.
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial? No, this is Space Friend! He's your friend... from space!
There's still more to see from
the Rose Bowl Flea Market!

those aren't intellivision games those are atari 2600 games
Also; I want that metal Silver Surfer sign, now!
Faster than a computer, deadlier than a lazer, its Pickleman!!!!
awesome.
They even have Pillsbury Doughboys, and the Charlie's Angels board game for sale there.
Even if the lamp doesn't look like any movie mask, it's definitely looking good.
Grats on the lamp, too, Rog! I *love* finding treasures like that when you least expect it. And too true about seeing the action figures in the cases. Those are the type of people you know are just going to whip out the price guide when you ask them how much, heh.
Check out Newfoundland some time, i'd gladly bring you around here, and there's a flea market here every sunday in a large mall where you can find anything
I haven't been to one in over 10 years....
It's understandable how those Intellivision boxes were confused with Atari 2600; they had the same games and boxes; I had both of those games in the picture on my 2600. I WANT THOSE PANTHER TABLES!
Also, that creature bust you claim looks familiar, looks an awful lot like a Sleestack from the Kroft Bros "Land of the Lost."
Because if I were you I would put it by my bed so I could fall asleep to the soothing demonic red serial killer light it povides.
Looks kind of like Pumpkinhead

Interesting about Sleestack though, I don't think the head shape is quite the same as the Sleestack I know. Sleestack rules.
On a side note....SWORDS! ^_____^
...and why is Superman carrying Richard Pryor on that one book?
I saw that Adam-12 lunchbox at the thrift store once.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!? A SONIC POPSICLE!?
Okay, done spazzing.
and i brush my teeth with regularity
once in the morning and once at bedtime
and after each meal so my teeth will shine
you'll remember this saying if you rehearse
and you'll be like the masters of the universe
however, I realized it was just a bunch of family members who wrote "Happy Birthday" all over the box." - that just made my day - I am still laughing! Great flea market - I would love to visit it - but since I cannot, these pictures will have to do!
Oh, believe me I would. However, 3400 miles from Pasadena is not "remotely near" enough for me. Even the closest flea markets of a scale nearing this are at least a day away from here.
Also, right next to the wrestlin' Smokey, there was something which looked oddly like that Inspector Gadget figure I remember wanting as a kid. That brought back some memories.
Yeah, I noticed that, too, thought it was another Headroom pin till I recognized the Riddler outfit.
I'd love to go to a sale like this, were the prices pretty reasonable for the used MOTU figures? Saw quite a few there I was never able to pick up growing up (Ram Man, Hordak, Trap Jaw). Those masks looked great, too, and I'd love that Hook ad just to torment a friend of mine at work who refuses to see the movie cuz she insists "Peter Pan never grew up!" Also, now I gotta see if I can locate one of those lamps.
Look at how the selection has changed! From Grimace cup to Jason lamp!
I actually had that when I was younger. Some Tyco R/C vehicle that was able to go on land, water, and television, all without any scene transitions. Unfortunately, in my naive mind, I simply HAD to get it, only to learn that it takes five hours of charging to use it for 20 minutes, it really sucks in the water, and the concrete just really does a number on its...wheels? What do you call those things anyway? Corkscrews?
Would you call me a dork if I said this picture reminds me of Hank Hanegraaff?
