They usually get the shipment just in time for Christmas and have just a handful left by New Years. Last year, I got the blue Challenger Concept, yellow Ford GT and the snakeskin green VIper. They raised the price but still less than $14!

We haven't had a membership for several years but re-upped late last year. I knew they got a shipment of 1/18 Maisto's around Thanksgiving but we were at a local store today and they have two large boxes. Was kinda hoping for the Ford GT but both boxes were well picked.

Do you have any toy or antique malls in the area? A couple around here rent locked cases for $40-60/month. I like the locked cases as it keep people from messing with them and damaging the package as they were more into looking than buying.

Blunc.... I sent it back noting the date he died. Let them look it up or if they cite him for contempt I will give them the cemetery address. I got out of jury duty about four years ago when I was dad's sole caregiver and listed his meds, Dr notes and all his personal info. One would have thought they would have taken him out of the system at that time. What's scary is when his Dementia progressed to the point he was no longer able to care for himself two years ago, he still had a valid CCW.

My tax dollars at work! Personal.....My father got a summons for jury duty today. He passed away almost a month ago. I know Hamilton County, OH runs the jury selection through the drivers license data base (although dad hasn't had a license for at least seven years) but they might want to run it against the database to ensure they are calling living people to serve. The same county issued the death certificate three weeks ago. Professional.....Working with a commercial landlord to renew a lease for one of our stores in the Chicago area but the State has our entity as not in good standing. The senior counsel called the Secretary of State for Illinois and they admitted that they are at least a month behind processing annual reports that were due by June 1st.

THE Batman!! Mayor West on Family Guy The voice of the young Mermaid Man on SpongeBob Himself on the Simpsons RIP.....

Mine has an ad for camping trailers. My version of roughing it is a Hyatt! I'm going to assume that my wife was using my laptop as she has a smaller camping trailer.

Thank you to everyone who read my rants and the kind words. I know we all gotta go through it but it doesn't make any easier at that time. While I'm meeting with my Pastor to finalize things, the offending brother sent a text 1) calling me 'dear nephew' which he has NEVER done, always by name and 2) sent an apology with the sincerity of a $0.99 greeting card for 'whatever I did wrong or to upset up'. Really? I texted him and said I wasn't mad, just disappointed in all of them for not stepping up when they needed to. They are the ones that have to live with their decision. As for the Kim K moment, he admitted he didn't think before he sent it. It was civil at the funeral home as we just talked about the video of the pics my oldest was able to find of Dad growing up through the years. The fiancee never did approach me or the wife to express condolences so needless to say....I won't be attending the wedding. One last rant. Because there are so few young people playing an instrument anymore, for TAPS, it's acceptable to have a prerecorded version play through a device in the trumpet itself. It had the quality of AM radio. Sad...just....sad. My Pastor offered as she plays the trumpet and had I known they would do this, I would have accepted her offer. Watching the two guards fold the flag is such an art. I probably broke protocol but I thanked both of them and shoot their hands before dad was pulled from the hearse.

My 80 year old father lost his battle against Dementia tonight. The last two year he has been in a nursing home as the disease robbed him of his self sufficient independence. My mom past Memorial Day weekend eight years ago of a stroke. WARNING....Two rants forthcoming so feel free to bail out now! 1) Dad spent 7.5 year in the Air Force including deployment to Germany during the construction of the Berlin Wall. Dad didn't qualify for many VA benefits as he went in four months too late to qualify for benefits under Korea and got out six months too early (starting his family) to qualify under Vietnam. Not to diminish those who served in those conflicts (!) but the VA doesn't consider his deployment as hostile so he doesn't qualify many benefits including the local VA nursing home 2) This one was the final insult! I reached out to Dad's brothers (who all live local) that the end was near and they needed to come say their goodbyes. Not only did NONE of them show up, one of them replied back with an invite to HIS second wedding in a month. Really? Isn't that kind of a Kardashian moment thinking of himself?? Thank you Dad.....and thank you for your service

An article today on a local news report had each states top paid CEO. Gee no wonder our health insurance cost is jumping....... Indiana: Joseph Swedish, Anthem Inc., $16.5 million Minnesota: Stephen J. Hemsley, UnitedHealth Group Inc., $15.7 million

I'll be there but the wife is more nervous I will come home with another dog. This guy came home with me after the show last year from the Clermont County Shelter.

The local pet food pantry had to relocate as their current space (which was donated) ended up with a paying tenant so it had to move to another location about a mile away. I took my ten year old son with me and I truly expected him to be off to the side playing on his phone. Nope....he was right in there with the rest of us filling bins, helping load/unload the box truck, rolling food into the new space and getting all set up. Needless to Dad is very proud tonight!

I go by what they sold for on eBay as their value. Years ago, I had some that i knew I would never build so I reached out to a couple ads in the back of that other model car magazine. I was specific...no calls. Two of the four reached out thinking they could get the bargain (sorry if you can't honor my request we won't be conducting business) with both offering a whopping an average of $8 per kit. I ended up going the eBay route and the lowest one sold for $30. If there is an antique mall in your area, see if there's a vendor there that would be interested or swapping for something else you want. I've traded off a few kits for sports team-issued bobbleheads. Be careful as some of these vendors are just as bad thinking they will buy them for about 25% of their value.

This was funny when you were in your college years and share a place with your buddies but when you've been married for 20 years AND have a ten year old who doesn't understand why he is not getting his allowance.....garbage can Jenga has lost its humor!!!!!!!!!

The local pet food pantry had to vacate their free space at months end and time was quickly running out but the news came out today that they've secured another location so they can keep helping those families who need help to keep their furry family members. I gotta say that all the years I've volunteered here, I've never met one person who didn't appreciate the volunteers and what we do. We're all animal lovers and treat our pets as family so we are happy to help. If people cant afford to keep their animals, they set them free or dump them at the shelter.....either way it's moving the problem not solving the problem.....that's why we do it

A private all girl school is raffling off a GoldenDoodle. As a StepDad to four rescues myself, I think this is truly pathetic. Even the local shelters asked me for references, vet name and other questions to make sure the one I was adopting was going to a good home.....the last shelter even made the wife and I bring in the other threesome to the facility to ensure they would all get along. Just in the past couple months I've seen a handful of this breed end up at local rescues and shelters. No mention if the dog is fixed. I guess money talks.......

Mercedes AMG GT.....on the expressway and I tried getting a picture of it but he opened it up and was gone. Nice sound! Not what I expected from a Mercedes

No less accurate than the 'professional' weather forecasters that have millions of $$ worth of Doppler radar. As one of the local radio stations morning radio said about the one local weather hottie.....if you're going to give me complete inaccuracy, at least give me something to look at!

1992...fully loaded, 5 speed, black on black 1986 Toyota Supra w/ low miles. The contractor replacing the windows in my house didn't know I was a car guy. I had just bought a POS Mercury Topaz for about $3K more than what he sold the Supra for. ARGH!!! 2.5 years and a AAA 'frequent flyer card, I unloaded it for a Dodge Stealth.

i'm a die hard hockey fan so I know very little about basketball. My ten year old son plays in a recreational league. The team that they were playing today had a player get his fifth foul (so he should be out of the game). Not only did the home team have to point this out to the two refs, but between his fifth foul and the refs took him out, his team went down and scored a two point shot. At a minimum, shouldn't have the points come off the scoreboard?

The local school system passed a tax levy to build a new school replacing three schools the district has let deteriorate to the point its cheaper to replace. The location of the new school will need to have the road widened to accommodate the additional traffic. When the city council was asked what the traffic study recommended, it was announced one was never done! My tax dollars at work!!!!!!

One of the best commercials (I think it was on the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Shot)....this safety moment was brought to you by the Nine Digit Tool Company.

I don't know if it's still there but years ago while vacationing in Florida, there is a small pond as you come out from The Pier in St Pete. Posted in several places was a sign stating boldly "Do Not Taunt The Alligators". Even before the Animal Planet channel, i would think this would be common sense but I'm sure someone got too close. I wish i could find my picture of that sign

Kids toy resale shop. Per the clerk, the person didn't know who would take these. Nothing special other than a good price
