Old monster novelties are great, but nothing beats a book called "The Weeny Witch Halloween Party Book".
Kung Fu for the NEs, The Ultimate Warrior, Mattel's old Sub Chase handheld game and the Girl Scout Chow Kit.
Now that's variety!
If they made a movie about him, Tomy's old Dingbot could've given Wall-E a run for his money.
Introducing Newbro's Herpicide! It's like herpes... for your hair!
Discover the feeling: Learn to read.
This guy had some great action figures for sale in nice pull-out display cases.
Whaddaya know! It's F.L.U.F.F.I. the robot ape from the Bionic Six!
These were some truly great action figures back in the day. They were almost entirely
die-cast metal and weighed quite a bit. Definitely worth tracking some of 'em down if you're
into collecting obscure old toys... especially the weird grey blob-like evil guy, Klunk.
If those Pac-Man change holders won't cough up your cash, Andre the Giant can beat it all out of 'em.
Can't go wrong with some classic G.I. Joe figures.
Don't see the original Indiana Jones action figures too often. Sadly, Toht's face doesn't have a melting feature.
Battle Beasts! Fire! Wood! Or Water!
Super Powers shall forever remain the greatest superhero toyline ever produced.
Weebles Wobble!
Ok, so maybe reading certain books won't make you smarter.
By the power of Greyskull, He-Man wants you to brush your teeth daily!
A big box o' Masters of the Universe figures... all in surprisingly good shape for a flea market sale.
Stinkor! And he still had remnants of his evil skunktacular scent!
M.U.S.C.L.E. figures! Sadly, my favorite four-fingered, acne-ridden hand figure wasn't in the mix.
I spy the Six Million Dollar Man figure. Looking through Steve Austin's hollowed-out eye was so awesome as a kid.
Even more lunchboxes...
Did Robin get his own set of wheels? That sure doesn't look like the Batmobile.
"Nudie and his Mandolin" is probably the greatest album name I have ever heard of. Seriously.
Re pointed this thing out to me and I couldn't believe my eyes. This is an extremely rare Friday the 13th promotional lamp display that Paramount made for when the movies came out on VHS (presumably part V, "A New Beginning"). The lamp was sent to select video stores and was put up on display near their cash registers alongside VHS copies of the movie. I saw it once on display long ago and later read about how it was a collector's item that was nearly impossible to track down. Needless to say, I bought it in a heartbeat right after I got the guy to shave 10 bux off the price. He swore it worked just fine and he had clearly taken good care of it by keeping it stored in a shoebox lined with cotton, so I took his word for it.
If it did work, this thing would easily be right at the top of my list of all-time greatest flea market finds.
I gotta say, I absolutely love how the shape of the mask really isn't even like any of the ones featured in the films.
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?
