Mine did. These are recent eBay purchases. The '57 Chevy had the Bel Air body in it, not the 150. I emailed Revell to see if they can send me the correct body (it was factory sealed). The cat is one those old Aurora 1/1 scale models. She was complete except missing her brain.

Went to a toy show last Sunday.  Other than the current Matchbox releases, not much else!

Swap meet yesterday and went overboard.  The most expensive thing here is the Vega.  Everything is sealed or open/complete.

The Coke van was an auction win for less than $5.  Pop machine is missing but the glass and decals are there....so are the two cases of Coke bottles

I got the last large container of Purple Power left at walmart (more supply line issues). I can finally resume a number of projects I had on hold for a long time. Just put some parts in to soak. How long before I should check on them?

I have had good luck with Kijiji over the past three days. All of the purchases, except the AMT Sandkat were from Kijiji. The Sandkat was from my LHS, Dailey Hobbies. Only the Tamiya Porsche GT2 was slightly started. They used old tube glue, so it was relatively easy to disassemble the pieces.

T2 Camper and #212 from Burbank's House of Hobbies. Interested to try out the paint too.

I already have the T1 and I have a T3 en-route, so I guess I really "collected them all", LOL.

 

Nice I still haven't even opened mine yet. Too many projects at once. 😵

got my Vette and Cobra survivors today. I wanted the Custom vette, but the drag vettes are cool too. Silver one has a hemi amd webers, red 9ne has a blower motor and tilt front end.. the Cobra has halibrands.

 

all I've done so far is wash the custom vette and replace the tires with AMT parts pack twin pins

 I have a set of unmelted wheels on the way as well. the goal is to preserve the build exactly how it is

tempo matador, the first aircooled vw commercial vehicle and a bit of an oddity as its front wheel drive. I think I'll be doing a lot of mods to the chassis on this as the engine and suspension is pretty poor but I have loads of spare vw parts to sort it

Managed to grab another Atlantis Mooneyes dragster - brand new on eBay (admittedly, listed as having a damaged box) for $17! 😮

Arrived today - the ‘damaged box’ doesn’t look any different to the undamaged boxed kits I have here already, and it was better packed than most kits I get in the mail.  Score!
