Other then buying toys online or at retail outlets, another source to find them is through fleamarkets,garage sales, buy sell and trade, family member finds something or is given something and gives it you because they know you collect it, and you're left thinking OMG, this is amazingly rare and they're only asking $2!!!! SOLD! My mom is a housing manager at a mental health facility and when members move out, anything left is to be kept by personal or thrown in trash or repurposed. She came home 1 day with a stack of comics and a bag full of toys. The bag had mostly shitty fastfood type toys, but there was a few decent toys 1 being a g1 optimus complete and nr mint, sold it for $200 to a local collector, and the comics were a complete set of secret wars series 2, which I still have. I've found toybiz,iron man figures, ML for cheap sometimes, but it's honestly a hunt all on it's own. Because most of the time your not going to a yard sale with a giant sign saying toys. You walk down isle 17 at walmart and you know your looking at toys. Go around the corner and 2 houses down, lil timmy is selling his g1 transformers,gi joes and marvel figures for 1-2$/figure. You just never know, anybody strike the wow factor and may not be toys.
