Yard sales and Garage sales seem to have many of them. But at these places don’t be afraid to dig into that box of toys sitting in the corner or under the table. If you are a little outgoing don’t be afraid to ask. I know a lot of Guys that see my collection and I get two comments. One is “aren’t you a little old for toys”? Or “You play with Doll’s”? (Action Figures People!). Flea Markets and Park and Swaps are even better. Now, How do you know what you find is worth anything? In my experience the main Comic book characters (Superman, Batman, & Spiderman) are the best place to start. Maybe even a character you used to play with. The saying (Go with what you know) apply’s here. If you have a cell phone with internet you could look it up right there. As with all Collectibles, Age and Condition are very important. If you see a Batman or Superman without a cape, More than likely you should pass. Same goes with the ones that have been chewed on or are missing limbs. Although Figures without there weapons don’t seem to be that important (but it still makes it worth less). The ideal Action figure is very old and still in the box not played with. Than the grading goes down from there.
