    Is that Guyver 1?!?! Ah damn I'd buy that!

    And yes, rare collectibles at a Gas Station...COMPLETE WTF. The world surprises us in incredibly unexpected ways.

    All my Marathon stations sell is gas, stale coffee and outdated donuts. You got a hell of a great deal there. Good for you.

    Yep, super lucky - did the guy at the counter mention where they came from, or wonder why you were so hot to buy everything? I'm surprised they didn't jack up some of the prices or go to Ebay after you kept coming back.

    Not a complete WTF, there's a gas station near me that has McFarlane Sportspicks Variants & Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts on a shelf. Unfortunately whoever put them out there knew what they had, because they're priced above what they even sell for on eBay. It's uncommon to run across collectibles in a gas station but it isn't far fetched.

    Anyways, nice find Predarican and thanks for sharing. As another poster mentioned, if you didn't buy them all I hope you do before someone else snatches the rest of them up.

    I know I was going to catch some fire when I posted without pics but I was posting frim my phone and it blocks the pop up to add attactments. I had to sit at work all day with them in my trunk.

    I got the same guy on my 2nd and 3rd trip and he was like "why you take pictures" so I told him no one would beleive I got them if I don't.
