Dollar General had nothing new last time I was in.
Maybe a Walmart trip after I sleep a while.

They're supposed to have a shipper that includes cards eligible for a mail-in Ford Raptor. I'm sure we'll get that shipper--probably in June or July. My store still has most of an Easter shipper.Just Plain Dave wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 1:05 pm Dollar General had nothing new last time I was in.

This whole 5-pack is a "must have" for me, I guess a collector (addict) can't win...
I forgot they made a P1800 (sic!), and I collect the Jag's. Have the dark green, and new light blue versions so far. Yeller is a must have in me book.
See what you did mate?!
Another one to drool over...

Best 5-pack in years. The GT40 and P1800S are the standouts. I had to get one some months ago as well. The guy who I buy most of my stuff from is in Maine. I don't get, however, how rural Maine is better with stocking than the Southwest Virginia coalfields. I guess because it's mostly smaller stores and chains that buy less and rotate stock more often?

Re: "Diecast Collecting"
One of the biggest mistakes I have ever made is selling my Syclone.One of the most fun vehicles I have ever owned;just ask my youngest son who scared the hell out of his girl friend when he borrowed it one night to take her to the movies. He owns a C63 AMG today and thinks the Syclone was faster.Just Plain Dave wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 1:45 pm

I knew I had this. But knew not where it was.

I have this years black version, with red chrome rings, and the latest Superfast version. Another favorite vehicle of mine, that variant is sic!

Re: "Diecast Collecting"
I have the worst luck with white painting.
The hood and left side of the 67 Camaro bubbled up.
It is back in the paint remover.
It will get gray primer and either yellow or Tamiya Orange.
