Ugh, thrifting has been so slow lately! But I did check out a place I haven't been to before and found a 1986 Fisher Price Little People barn for $3.80! And it still moos!

Thrifting has been slow here too the last few weeks, hope the thrifts aren't going into a late winter coma.  Very cute FP barn though!

Cute clock, very late 70's or 80's.  That was a big trend to spell everthing out.  My kitchen wall clock just got knocked off the wall & broke, I would love to find another one at the thrifts soon.

Garage Sale season is here!!! I found some really cool stuff already. Here are my best finds so far:
A 1976 Spirograph for 25 cents. It is near complete, just missing the pens, and it even has some extras!


And I bought this 1960s robot game called "Thing Ding" for $1.00. I checked out ebay, and it seems to be pretty rare, and potentially worth a lot! It is complete, but the handle is broken. The broken piece is in the box though, so it could be glued on I suppose.

Great games.  I love those old games.  Before video games and computers kids actually played board games so there were so many of them.  I think the game companies used to get pretty desperate for new game ideas resulting in so many weird board games from that era.  THe box is really nice on your game so maybe that will balance out any minor damge to the game piece. 

I found an early 70's game called Challenge the Chief not long ago that was pretty mint.  It is a fairly rare game but there isn't alot of demand for it so it didn't sell for much.   I only paid a buck for it at least I made someone happy.

Since your game is about robots I would expect there is some collectibility for it.

By the way Spirographs in nice condition sell pretty well too:
