Open but complete (wrong decal sheet).....$5 . Engine is half built and the front seats/dash installed but trying to figure why use chrome silver on the seats?

Yeah I try to keep change on me otherwise whatever I end up buying costs $xx.20. When I give the young person bills only, I know I'm getting eight dimes instead of three quarters and a nickel.

From my son's school yesterday afternoon....... Due to a sharp increase in the number of students who are absent from school because of illness, the XXXXXXXXXX School District will be closed on Friday, January 31, 2020. All after-school activities and athletic events will go on as scheduled. We are taking this proactive measure to allow time for our custodial crew to give our classrooms and common areas a deep clean Wait? So they are doing the deep clean but the home basketball games tonight and tomorrow night (in the gym) and the dance (in the cafeatorium) will still go on. Are they infecting attendees to these events or cleaning today so they have a new batch of germs for Monday?

Check local toy/collectible stores. One local to me will give 25% to buy and 50% to trade. Be leery of antique malls as I know one vendor that sells bobbleheads for $15-20 each but only gives $1-2 to purchase.

1/18 Mitsubishi Starion 1/18 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Just can't bring myself to pay $150+ for one of either

Got these several months ago from a local hobby store that specialized in radio controlled cars/planes. There was talk of the store closing and the owner had taken ill. I went over to check the stock and got these along with a pair of Moebius step side Ford's at 40% off. Later that afternoon, their facebook said the remaining stock was purchased by a competitor and the store closed. I went past the building this weekend and it's been dozed by a bank that bought the property. Shame to see another small store go out.

Didn't need them but priced right......

Have no idea what I'm going to do with it but it was too cool to pass up. We didn't have cool toys like this when I was a kid.....

D50 started JoHan Cadillac has a small crack at the base of the drivers side windshield post but complete...including odd ball custom parts

Funko...... So i ordered two Pops characters and eight Protectors taking advantage of their 20% off Black Friday special. I get the shipment and the box is clearly too small to contain ten things. I open it and the Pops characters were there but only two protectors with the packing label showing it should have contained ten items. I e-mailed Funko the same day....no response. Next day I day a pic of the box and the contents showing the box is too small....THAT provoked a response. They apologized and will ship my missing items but to allow seven days to fulfill it. Wait....the first one took over a week to ship via ground (which was fine since it was part of the Black Friday offer) so it'll be at least TWO weeks to get what I should already have? Earlier this week, they sent a survey asking how the customer support person did. I marked it as unsatisfactory as the rep did an okay job as an error that obvious one would think they would expedite the shipping.

Impressive detail for $15.

Secret Santa'ed myself with Diecast Models Wholesale black Friday deals.......' Alpine is Norev 1/18 R5 is Burago 1/24

Free shipping on orders over $50 thru 12/9 at 4p CST 01A15 will take $15 of $50 also The MPC Dodge truck is in stock....

Be careful as I bought two models from them Black Friday last year. One of them had the seals broken and box badly worn as it had been opened many times. I e-mailed them and they only said 'send it back' so I presume it was at my cost and no mention of how much would refunded. It was meant to be a gift so had they been honest in their description, I would have passed.

Things got ugly Monday night as the area took a direct hit from several tornadoes including at least two that have been classified as EF3. I let the dogs out before going to bed and being almost 50 miles from ground zero, the lightening show looked the finale in the original Ghostbusters. Talking to a co-worker this morning who lives in the area of the storms said it went on for 45 minutes. Amazingly only one person died in the storms. State Patrol closed down I-75 for Dayton to use snow plows to remove the debris from the highway.

Went to a local toy show and bought the Funko Pops Addams Family (including Gomez w/ the sword and the black & white Gomez and Morticia)

Like I need another project but it appears complete with all the custom pieces (missing the center console).....

I think my city does that with potholes as they seem to reappear after the next rain

The Russian judge only gave a 5.5 for not sticking the landing....

RIP Barnacle Boy!

Tuscan TVR...in 1/24 or 1/25 scale

Thanks to the perpetual road construction between home and Indianapolis, I was late for the open house at Greenlights corporate office. Managed to grab these for $20/each. The Yenko Camaro is missing a wiper......don't see anything damaged on the Trans am.

Went to the Greenlights open house today. They had a food truck on site. This.....was.....awesome!!

From the InterWeb yesterday: The pay gap at Citigroup, led by Michael Corbat since 2012, is the biggest among large U.S. banks. Corbat made $24.2 million last year, 486 times the median employee pay of $49,766. ...and companies wonder why they have high employee turnover.

If you feel like a road trip, Greenlights (Northside of Indianapolis) is having their open house in a couple weeks (May 10th). Their warehouse sale is a great opportunity to get the ones that the local stores never get or end up as 'employee exclusives' (never make it to the store shelves). Their open 1/64 are usually $1 for plastic bottom and $2-3 for metal bases, 1/24 are $10, including trailers and 1/18 are $20. Last year I got the 1/18 Mad Max Ford Falcon for $20 (needs side mirrors) and a greenmachine trailer for $10 (needs back bumper)
