This isn't today specifically, but my most recent purchases. I didn't include the TDR stuff, that can be seen in the aftermarket and resin forum.

I have all that P/E on my wishlist of stuff to buy.......almost scared to ask the cost.....

the 250 TR set was the only one that was a lot, around $100. The rest were not too bad, with the most expensive being around $27. I buy most from http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/shop/index.php I have been buying from them for years. Shipping is fast, prices are great and it gets here quickly. It's like a mini HLJ, they show actual stock on items.

The Toyota GT1 I bought on Ebay for $70. It came with the Scale Motorsport set, the Sakatsu set and the Scale Motorsport carbon fiber template set. Pretty good deal considering I can't find the Sakatsu stuff anywhere.

I build up shopping carts on various websites and when I have the money, I'll buy from one website at a time. Sometimes I have to wait 6 months or more before I can afford it.

I have the Honda RA272 full detail set on the way as well, and the new BOSS 302 set from Hobby Design.

Got off of Ebay and came in the mail today. A '69 Pontiac Grand Prix promo model(missing the passenger seat though). One of my 2 favorite years for the GP(also the '70). I really like the quad headlights vs. the singles for '71-2. The front ends just look better in my opinion.

As I wrote before, I love the '69 - 72 Pontiac G/P. I have a copy of all of the MPC kits to be restored.

I was the original builder of this one back in 1970. I stripped it down, and it is ready for primer and paint.

I may not go with the Honeycombs, but I am definitely going with the whitewall tires.

I have not photographed either of the '72's I have, but one will be a Hurst SSJ, as I have removed the vinyl roof from it, and the other is a pretty clean one moulded in Brown, which I may leave alone, as I like the color the kit is moulded in.

Very nice Ron! My 1:1 '69 GP comes home this Saturday! I'll get my first look at it in a long time. Wish me luck! :)

@Ron- Nice collection of GP's! I'm still trying to get my hands on one in kit form. They just keep fetching prices higher than I'm willing to spend.

I, too, have that problem with these. I love that generation Grand Prix. Great-looking car.
