From Big Lots and Kroger sales>>>>>

Have not purchase anything this year but here are my last Nov. clearance sales score from Big Lots and Krogers at 75-90 % off. Can't wait to set it all up.

BELOW ARE A FEW MORE ITEMS......>>>>>>PS.,......I already had the Pirate Skelly, by far my favorite Gemmy ever !!!!!!!

 

[bozz]

Yeah gotta love them sales in Nov. that was the first year I ever hunted that hard and finally hit the mother load, it was a lot of running around and striking out for a while. Yeah MM got my 3 Glow-ups for $ 2.50 each (90 % off). I now wish I would have bought one or two more but they were missing the poles.....still should have got them for that price dumb me. Hey 75% off is great and finding anything left over at 90 % off is a steal. Women were loading there shopping carts up with junk....lol !

Oh and bozz, bubble foggers are the best. Got one last year and REALLY didn't think it was gonna work but just had to try it. It ended up being such a hit I got another afterwards half off (super cool but not enough bubbles.) I had one TOTer that just hung around for 10 minutes popping them in amazement.

Cool, I musta drove all over Ohio looking for one last Nov. on sale and found a bunch left over at one store 90 % off so I bought 6 but wanted all of them....ha !After I turned one on I had no idea how very cool they were I was so surprised that I wish I would have gotten one sooner and can't wait to crank them up this year.

Party City and Dollar tree scores........

Got the Mummy for only $ 6.50 reg. $ 24.99 he's well built and made up of a very heavy resin, He talks and his eye's move and light up as well as his jaw opens and closes.

Thank you so much GOS, yeah the stain color is left over from the deck I built this year and its called Aligator green from Lowes. The lumber is PT scrap from Home depot for $4. The Owl hoots and his eyes light up as the sensor is tripped. I was really surprised by how well it all came together and the sign iced it for me. Oh the bench was more scrap wood and the paint job was another accidental and pleasing discovery.When I went to give the wood that aging effect I use 2 near empty cans of spray grey and green well they just started spitting instead of spraying after I got the hang of it I thought WOW how cool it looked afterwards (gave it a marble effect) and added some very nice character.

Thank you so much SLM we need to see your pics too. Yeah lots of great pics and stuff here by everybody. I just some added some solar power LED lights inside the hut with more spiders, real animal skulls I found in the woods yesterday and various other small detail items inside, need to take a few more pics myself after I move it outside in the light. It looks more like a little museum inside. Oh did I mention I added a remote sound box for those surprising voice startles.... Can't wait to see how everybody else displays their new purchases once they are set up. Great days ahead for all....huh ?!?!

 

[bozz]

Yeah I was interested in the kicking legs SC too.But now I think I could make one since I got some KL's from Big Lots last Nov. WFC is your SC for outdoors too and please post video of it when you get a chance.....I like the greeter too, man it was a nice day for you huh ? Musta felt like Christmas......

 

[bozz]

Thanks Junit and I know what ya mean I want to go on a shopping spree and buy more stuff I don't need..... but those darn bills keep getting in the way. I'm so motivated I want to go out and just paid full retail for something but I'm too cheap and broke so I gotta look for the deals, good thing I'm never too broke to jump on a good deal..... PS,.......and thanks for the vids too, those are 2 very cool props and I really dig the KS, your right his action is much cooler than I anticipated.

 

[bozz]

I love the butler more than the ST, hes much cheaper and his action is better.

 

[bozz]

Scored at Spirit......woohoo

Well my Spirit store finally open and it was worth the wait.........if only I could win a $1,000 shopping spree there. Nicely layout with the big trees but I think I liked last year's dungeon displays better. My favorite prop was the guy in the box hanging, I could use him.Saw the swaying ghost.......very cool and the price is not bad..............H.E. wants twice the price for it ($99).Some really cool new stuff this year in there. I wanted the talking pirate head as GOS mention earlier but they did not have him. They did have the vampire head too of which i may go back for. On these lifesize latex heads the jaw moves eyes light up with about 6 rather funny sayings. Reg. price $34.99 but they are clearance for $9.97 ....sweet !!!!! Really IMHO a lot of value at this price. I'm gonna add a body to him I think.

 

[bozz]

$75.00 isn't bad for a full size butler. they want $59.99 for a half size one at kmart or $49.99 at walgreens. for the little extra you might as well go for the larger one. he is cool

I was at Sams Club yesterday and I must say the full size Butler for $75 really blows the 3' away for $50......no way I would get the little one and I've seen it (not worth $50 maybe $25 JMO).I really love the old guy even tho I don't need him nor can think of a place for him. I think he is a must buy for me and he's got to be the fall in love at first sight prop of the year IMHO.Dang I'm already over budget so iF somebody can buy him for me and I'll pay ya back next year......

 

[bozz]

Nice stuff everybody.......UNO You'll love that saw, I got that one last year and we had a blast with it ! Also love your entrance I wanted that one too......very sweet looking !!!

 

[bozz]

Got a BAT BAR for dirt cheap !!!!!!!

Went to Party City and had a guy check the stock room for this Bat Bar.......had one left for only $15 reg. $ 149 on receipt or on e-bay for $250....click on e-bay link......I'm so happy !!!!!!LIFESIZE BAT BAR - HORROR HALLOWEEN PROP DISPLAY PARTY - eBay (item 320415946902 end time Sep-23-09 11:27:33 PDT)

 

[bozz]

Thanks, yeah they were on clearance and I was willing to pay more the guy was so happy to make my day,his eye's lit up after he enter the bar code.This just made my shopping season thats for sure. I was looking for it but wasn't gonna waste my time stopping there (since I go in there a lot and have never seen any but did a year ago) but force myself to do so.

 

[bozz]

Cool..... good news !!! I cannot find a link for the Paper Factory ?!?! Do they have a web page and store locator ????

 

[bozz]

Nice going GOS, can't wait to see your pics.I went to 2 Goodwill stores and they had 2 lighted arches and one light up gate that look to be the Target ones from last year for $12 to $20 and a 6' skelly in a black cape for $20 but that was it. Kinda of pricey for me but hopefully more will come in.

 

[bozz]

CUTE !!!!! I love them great job !!!!

But not if you use a coupon there! I wonder if they have these in the store or whether they are only available online. Anyone seen these in the store? $8 for shipping otherwise; not horrible exactly but rather spend the dollars on another prop since I have a few Spirits nearby and could save on shipping. (end of quote)
******* Yeah they have the radio's in the Spirit stores at least at mine they did. I was hoping they were clearance since they were next to the talking heads we scored and it is an older item but $ 20 was on the box. They are kinda small but cool little item none the less and good score for $3. Man my Good will stores and other thrift shops just don't have the cool stuff you guys are finding. Oh well maybe I need to hit more stores further out.Good job guys and keep hunting and posting !!!!!!!!!!!!

Got all three heads now !!!!!

Great detail on the face and he comes with 6 motion-activated phrases:

1) You're asking why we pirates are so mean. Well we just arrrrrr....

2) You, you landlubber! I'll show you my booty if you show me yours....

3) Oh, you're such a treasure. You ought to be buried!

4) Hey you skallywag, your buccaneers are showing. Get a bigger hat!

5) Me hardy, forget the patch, you'll be needing the whole mask!

6) If you keep staring at me like that, I'll make you walk the plank.


The Spirit version has a sea green-ish face, as opposed to the more natural skull bone version in this picture from BuyCostumes. If you are looking to add some pirate figures to you haunt, I'd recommend checking out your local Spirit store, especially on opening day if your location hasn't opened yet. This guy is way better than buying a mask for making a prop.

BTW pictured along with the pirate head in the above link are the talking Clown and Vampire heads. My store had some vampires as well, others have reported seeing the clown.

Oh yeah and his mouth moves too (along with flashing green eyes) so way better than a static mask.

I went to Spencers today and guess what I found ???........yup they had just got the Pirate heads in.......woohoo I was so happy again and for a while there I thought I was losing my timing and just missing the deals lately........I'M BACK AND IN THE GAME.....: ). Ok so now I have the whole collection.Spencers had a lot of new 50% off stuff today..........you guys keep checking they are still pulling stuff.You right for $9.97 these are just excellent prop heads with lights sound and moving jaw you have a full size prop for cheap and your right the pirate is more of a cool mint green color..............I love him !

Nice find Bozz.
