Flat32 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Have you played with that feature?? Reason I ask is I've got a little plastic toy that has it and works really well. Kids love it and so do I. I have a vision of drag racing models based on the pull and go "engine". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 No I did not play with it. I am 68 and stopped playing with them last year. I just collect Cobra's. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Found a Welly '55 Olds convertible in a thrift shop for $5. No box but it's in very good shape. And 1/26 scale, but it fits with the other die-casts. Colors are red/white, just like the pic below. (Which I stole because I'm too lazy to get the camera out right now.)

The same thrift store had some 1/18 scale diecasts for $10 each, but they were all foreign/modern cars that didn't interest me. The store also had a '53 Chevy slush-metal bank/promo, with quite a bit of paint worn off. They're asking $50 for that. I got sort of excited when I saw the box for a Revell '40 Ford Standard Coupe kit. Also $5. But it was brush-painted and mostly built (glue-bombed). And missing some parts, like the grille. So I left it on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Jada 2005 Corvette C6R Checked out Walmart this morning and this was the only decent thing they had on the shelf. Being a Jada it is big of course, should have know better. Here is a comparison with a BBurago of the same type C6R and you can see the size difference.

randyc Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Parts truck. To fix my GMC. If you guys need any parts, this one may get blown apart. Front axle is beyond repair I think. I need bumpers and spare. All else probably available if you need. Or it might become a hot rod? Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THarrison351 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I think this one might be a little easier to repair than your's. Some crazy glue and it will be all better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Maisto 1/24 1970 Nova SS.....just a wash of black on the wheels and a slight lowering up front. A great deal at the store my son runs. (national drug store chain) $8 plus tax! Decent little car.....trunk could open this model has separate trunk pinned closed but hinge base is there!!!

I need bumpers and spare. All else probably available if you need. Or it might become a hot rod? Ideas? Resto-rod! Got this one at a toy show a couple years ago. Just looks great in that color. Looking to add disc brakes without overpowering the clean look and de-chrome the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the front bumper and taillight for the GMC. Saving on the GMC since it's a Limited Edition. Since it's apart and I have no huge interest, may just try to sell it as a parts lot. Maybe get my money back on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
