Guys, I just had a hell, and I mean A HELL of an unbelievably epic score at a thrift store.

I know that this isn't a popular move, but I'm still on the road heading out to another store, but pics will come later. As for now, here's a teaser:

All I see is trash. What am I missing out on?

 

[Johnny1996]

Well, here's what's both a TH and an error car. The window piece was inserted backwards and that in turn screwed up the remainder of the assembly.

 

[AOS-]

Cool. I left that thing back on the pegs just a day ago!

 

[Johnny1996]

That's not all though. There's more coming later. I can't really photograph loose cars in a moving car.

 

[AOS-]

White backdrop, LED flashlight, chop chop.

 

[Johnny1996]

I definitely am breaking some more stuff out to take the pictures. Problem though: I have schoolwork to do. Just remembered.

 

[a6m5]

Well deserving of this I think.

It's funny, because from watching the show, I can just imagine her voice in my head.

Oh, that just reminded me about my GL Bullit Charger!

I have that from their diorama. I wonder if they are worth anything yet.....

Lol, had never noticed the box of this says Mercury when it's in fact a Ford. Still awesome.

Good catch(of course, you da classic car masta). 👍

Easy favorite, the red wagon

SILVER!

 

[Johnny1996]

EDIT: Well it all went away, so here's the cars. I'm now working on better pictures.

 

[a6m5]

Hmmm...... Miami Vice.

Yeah, I picture her saying that every time I post it.

SILVER!

Nissan Service 1300 for me. Those wagons are damn sweet though. And really digging that shade of Blue on the 1400 DX too.

 

[a6m5]

Agreed on that blue one. Almost teal-like. 👍

On the way home, picked these up at Toys R Us:







Last one(Ford Pickups), I passed on at the other TRU & regret it for some time. I got the second chance on this one!

 

[Johnny1996]

Guys, I'm still photographing everything!

@a6m5: Nice Bronco.

 

[a6m5]

@a6m5: Nice Bronco.

Thanks Johnny. I was on the fence on that one. I still am.

 

[mustang fanatic]

That Bronco. I need it!

 

[Johnny1996]

Finished with pictures, but I'm experimenting with a simple way to share them. I'm attempting Google Drive for this. I hope it works.

 

[a6m5]

I got more cars, but I'm not gonna steal your thunder, Johnny.

That Bronco. I need it!

I looked on eBay to see if it was worth anything? You can get them pretty cheap! Many I saw sold for $4.99 + shipping. Saw one $9.99 w/free shipping....... but of course, "Canada" changes everything I suppose. If you have chance to visit TRU in next few days, I think the stores are getting them just now. My TRU had all six from the series(mostly 'meh').

Edit: Found pic of the six vehicle series.

@Johnny, Google picasa... or blogger.

If you ever want to find a web page where you can find all your uploaded images organized, try Blogger. It's a bit more extra work, but hey, you can learn some HTML while you're at it.

Well the closest TRU is 4 hours from here.

Also, if I want to order something from the U.S., I have a post office box over there anyways.

 

[Johnny1996]

I've just posted the cars on Google+, and the post can be found here. Because not everyone has a Google account to access Google+, I'll be posting everything here tomorrow when I have more time.

I need all but the explorer .

 

[a6m5]

I'm just gonna go ahead of you then @Johnny1996

Stuff in the mail from TTP:

Hot Wheels Oil Can Shelby Cobra 427




Oil Can '48 Ford Woodie




Oil Can Chevy Crew Cab




Oil Can Cadillac Drop Tops




Bonus from nice TTP seller PCB3000GT(willing ship loose, @AOS- ).


I forget the name of it. What was it called?

I think you mentioned that before. I forgot.

Yeah, eBay deal's not bad. Speaking of eBay deals, my TRU today also had that Greenlight Ford Dealer diorama I bought on eBay with shipping. Oh, well. You can't win them all.

I need all but the explorer .

Actually, I did like the police car. That thing was NICE. I highly recommend it. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Funny that's the only one of the lot that doesn't look goofy to me. Greenlight is hit or miss on accuracy, mostly misses...

 

[AOS-]

Sick Cobra. Thanks for the tip off too.

Fixed that skewed ride height. Too late to lower it.

Fixed that lesser skewed ride height, but also lowered it some.

 

[Johnny1996]

To both @a6m5 and @AOS-, I give a .

 

[a6m5]

Why anime? WHY!?!?!?

I cry for Supra.

 

[AOS-]

Well... Aoshima casting + anime graphics still looks better than Hot Wheel's casting, so I don't mind.

If you are willing to commission me, I'll paint you one of those RIDOX Supras in a solid colour... maybe metalflake gray?

Aoshima, eh? It is sweet, even with the graphics. I'd commission a paint job if I had any money(red's actually nice!). I sold my soul to Tomica, dontcha know?

That sound of the plastic rear wing snapping off highly sought Kyosho minicar...My heart stopped for a whole second.

No it wasn't an accident. I deliberately broke the wing off. I had to. Do you guys remember me quizzing you on the thing was was off about that Mobil 1 NSX?

Here's why:

I don't know if the seller had accidentally broke it themselves, because there was a massive amount of glue joining the wing to the arms. But to get to the real drama, I broke off the wings because the were tilted, as you can see above, and they were also slanted. It was not aligned on two dimensional planes. I can't stand that. So I took it apart and glued it back together. Needless to say, thanks to the primitive-technique operation I performed, they look absolutely beautiful now. Pics will be up soon.

Fixed:

Doesn't seem to be perfect in the photo, but the IRL version looks passable.

Well, it does cost more than $1.
