In my area, there's about 3 LCS and they have older items in from time to time, sometimes it's just their stock that doesn't sell or items they get on trade. I check the 2 local pawnshops from time to time, 1 time a guy sold his ML collection and Movie Maniacs collection, I had no $$ atm, but there was series 1 Iron Man figures and such for like $10-15. Thriftstores like Value Village, salvation army, are great resources, sometimes you can find grab bags of random toys for a few bucks. My first ML I owned was a Cyclops figure I found in a grab bag. Even used stores like babystores that sell toys/get donations can be a good find. Using other resources such as buy sell and trade, craigs list, if in Canada " kijiji.ca" is a good resource. Ebay,amazon are the obvious, check bbts sometimes they get trades and have older items available, toyark and marvelousnews.com b/s/t is great as well. A lot of large end grocery stores have a small toy isle and can have some rare gems. A lot of arkers would agree that wholesale buying stores like TJ Max, Ross, Winners, CostCo, can have some great finds on older lines as well, and when all else fails, spend a sat/sun hitting up yard/garage sales and fleamarkets, Hope this helps.
