SPRING GARAGE SALE HUNTING 2010 week 2

A decent weekend of garage sales with great spring weather. A lot of small toys to dig through. I was hoping to find certain things, but as usual I tend to come across a bunch of unexpected junk I didn't expect to find.
I couldn't believe the amount of Smurf and Garfield collectibles I kept running into? They kept popping up at one garage sale after the next. It was strange. I went to this one garage sale in an upper-class neighborhood with a lot of electronics and higher-priced furniture where there was nothing antique or old whatsoever, and on my way back to my van I see sitting on one of the tables a Smurf toy bus. Totally out of place. Bizarre.
Anyway here's some photos of the stuff I bought:
