What is your most recent deal, or "steal" on toys?

Currently walking the line of buyer's remorse and buyer's elation. Went to a local secondhand collectibles store and found the Hiya Alien vs. Predator Chopper and Celtic for $28 each. Not sure if that's a steal, per se, but I was just so surprised to see them that I got them- normally all I see anymore are the cloaked Predators or Blowout Alien, which I don't have any interest in. I admittedly dropped the ball on the line- been wanting to collect AvP movie figs of some sort for a while to reclaim some of that childhood magic; had the original McFarlane figures as a kid and loved them. The NECA figs are stupid expensive, and the Hiya figs are creeping up there. I really only want the main ones from each movie- Scar, Elder, Grid, warrior Alien, and the Queen from the first, and the Predalien and Wolf from Requiem; most I'll probably never find at a decent price, so I kinda regret getting Chopper and Celtic, but part of me is still riding the wave of nostalgia.
 
Those are great figures, nice score! That Celtic Pred goes for quite a bit more than $28 on the aftermarket these days, so definitely a steal on him.
 
Had my best luck at Ross today that I've had in quite a while. Found Marvel Legends Superior Iron Man from the Zabu wave, Star Wars Black Series Cassian Andor from Season 1, Master Sol from Ashoka and four of the newer Masterverse Fistos all for under $40 combined. I usually don't find anything

It went well enough I might head over the next closest one to me later this weekend. It's a good 30 minute drive away so I only go a handful of times per year but might be worth it.
 
Found a Super7 MOTU style Fiend from their Misfits line at Ross for $10. I wanted these figures, but didn't think they were worth the $35 price tag that they were originally sold for. I don't know if the Glenn or Jerry figures are also popping up at Ross stores, but I'll be on the lookout.

Also scored the Marvel Legends Strange Tales wave Dracula for $6. While this is far from my preferred look for him, he'll do until I can get a Colan Dracula. I know some folks have reported finding other ST wave figures at their Ross stores, but I went to three this weekend and Dracula was all I found. I previously skipped all of this wave but Hellstrom, but if I can find them all for $6 I may very well build Blackheart! Oh, who am I kidding...it was amazing I even found one of this wave at the local Ross stores.
