    From Toledo's toy show yesterday. Now to find the parts needed to finish the two resin Chevy '71 Impala/ '73 Caprice. The Edsel wagon cost me only $20.00, and is a very nicely built resin model.

    Yes they are LARGE as the red Corvette is sitting on a box top that is covering a Ertl 1/16 Peterbilt truck.

    Well I actually bought these two on Sunday at the Farm toy show here in Van Wert Ohio. Nice 1/8 Monogram Corvette's

    Yes I got extremely lucky. On August 4, I bought a built 4070 that came with it's box, Instruction sheet, and Tech data sheet for $10.00 Then not even a week later I bought the second Transtar 4070 A for $20. Partially built, and The Transtar II $45.00 was factory sealed. The 4070 box is rough but has both the instructions, and data sheet as well.

    Yes these rather go for over $100. 00 on Ebay! But I actually got lucky when I bought both of them, and I paid $20. for the 4070a then $45.00 for the Transtar II

    Got these the other weekend at the International Harvester Home Coming in Ft.Wayne Indiana. The 4070 had the frame,engine and suspension built, and the cab/Chrome were untouched. The Transtar II was still Factory sealed.

    I'm glad I got lucky and bought two of them this month for the grand total of $30.00 !!!

    I'd bet the seller was surprised as well.

    That one on ebay sold for the High bid of $175.00!
  15. ranma
    Believe it or not this one actually started out cheap with a price of $2.00 , and with less than 45 min left on the auction $175.00... I feel really blessed Though because I bought one last Sunday (built) which I paid $10 for. Then on August 10, I bought another 4070 and paid $20.00 for that copy, and it was started (frame,engine,and rear axles/wheels) Cab and all the chrome parts were un touched.

    That and the kit's in the display cases were all made by the Late Bill Eichhorn. That 4300 logging truck is highly detailed! and needs to be seen in person as do all of his IH build's

    I managed to score both another 4070 a as well as a factory sealed Transtar II. And After I sold a few of my own items the total spent comes out to $20.00! I just finished painting the cab of the 4070 a Today August 11.

    From August 1-3 the U.S.127 Garage Sales were Held, Which I found a bought a complete and non built Ladder Chief fire truck kit. Sunday came , and Decatur Indiana has it's once a month flea market. This is where It became well worth buying two built truck kit's for $10.00 each. First is the rare and very pricey Ertl Transtar 4070 A, Then a very original California Hauler Peterbilt. I was a deal of a lifetime, and one I didn't pass on!

    So glad I went to the Flea Market in Decatur Indiana this morning! Maybe my luck is changing to good again? Spent $40.00 for these All were $10.00 each! Very happy that I got the Transtar 4070 A which will join my International truck collection. The Camaro will be getting shipped to a friend of mine. The Mustang is missing the front bumper, and is a screw bottom kit with no paint work done to it.

    The state of Ohio want's to suspend my Licence even after I went a got the sr 22 they wanted, plus paid the reinstatement fee. I got a letter of supension today for not fileing an appeal. They gave three choices to stop the suspension I got the sr22 and paid the fee which was option #2 Option 3 was to send a check for 30.00 for an appeal. All this because of a one car mishap back in 2000!
