Memories of old gift shop and thrift shop finds

[NSD Bashe]

Revisited an old favorite museum the other day, and sadly the gift shop was closed but it got me remembering past visits...  Like one time when I found two dinosaurs from a 6-dino box set I was often hoping to come across, painted alternate "museum gift-shop colors" I never saw anywhere else.  They were the Oley Boley brachiosaur, painted a stately dull green (similar to the reply bar on this site) and cream yellow on the stomach; and Oley Boley stegasaur, painted light peach on the stomach and black on its back with little yellow and red dots.  Something about the paint job felt... museum-y, for lack of a better description.  I still vividly remember not only the colors of the figures but happily walking home with them in a paper bag (my dad and I used to walk to the museum, which was a decent bit of exercise, nearly every weekend back in the day)

Does anyone have any particularly fond memories of museum gift shop/dollar store/thrift store/etc finds they still remember vividly or got excited about?
