The FLGS had another Swap Meet on Sunday, which was also proximate to the Kid's birthday. This is the third time I have been to one of these now, and honestly this was probably less exciting than the other two times. The fire marshal had apparently complained about crowding, so they only let 50 people in the room at a time, and there were a lot fewer miniature tables there, and more board game tables, and nerd adjacent tables like 3d printed stuff or anime which were less exciting to me. (I did sort of kick myself later for passing on a new in shrink copy of Star Wars Outer Rim and its expansion for $50, which is more than 60% off). For those of you who are not local, the store has an enormous space that they use for game play, which is wholly converted for this sale. There are probably 20 tables each with 1-2 vendors, so plenty of things to look at even when some of them are tables of things I am less interested in.
So what did we get?

| Bastion, three mechs, four Armigers, and 22 Neuroguants |
I got three BattleTech mechs for $5 each, which was pretty decent, particularly as these were mechs that I have not had luck finding STLs for. The guy had three big tubs of mechs, including the quaint old Alpha strike mechs that I should have paid more attention to.
The kid got a Games Workshop Bastion kit, four armigers (small robotic knights), and 22 Neuroguants. The bastion has been out of print for a while, and should be a useful piece of terrain for 40k or Necromunda. The 'guants were the real find though, since all of them were $10 new on sprue, and 11 of them sell for $43 new in box... GW prices can be pretty nuts.
Anyway, some enjoyable time with the kid, and it only cost me $15, so that is a win even if I did not come out as well as I had hoped.
