I picked up this Fujimi garage kit. Ordered it from Japan (via ebay), transported on the slow boat, and it was delivered for a whopping $20 and change. I'm very pleased with the kit, it has much more than I need and the quality is excellent. I'm going to use it in my shadowbox diorama.

Just bought these in separate deals on Ebay. They're really toys, but, I am sure i can have some fun with them!

Wow, those are some real oldies.  The red one is a Strombecker Maserati but the cream colored Indy one at 9 inches is a mystery to me.  Great finds.

More Mopar Madness. All three for thirty bucks. Need the guts for my Revell and Johan kits. The Slant 6 from the Belvedere is heading for the '68 Fury NYPD RMP which needs it.

Picked up these today. They are complete and some are partially started. The 2 Chevys have had the roofs removed. Have to figure out how to reattach them or find boot covers and figure out sun visors. At least they left some plastic along the top of the windshields frame. The truck is started and the Ford has had it's doors glued shut. The hinges are broken off  so I guess they will have to stay that way. The stock cars will be up for grabs as I'm not interested in them. I had to buy them all and the whole lot was a super duper deal.  The cool little gas station has lights that blink on top. I think it might be a hot wheels toy as you can launch a car from the showroom floor. Heck 5 cents. Can't go wrong. Use it to display some matchbox cars.

Definitely a nice haul. David. If possible, can you take pics of the two Chevys and post them in the Model Building Questions and Answers section? I could offer some advice on reattaching the roofs once I can see the damage.

Show your Hobby Lobby this picture and tell them you want it this price and figure in the 40% coupon on top...

I just might do that. I thought all HL prices were supposed to be the same.

My friend in Japan had a talk to Japan Post, who in turn lit a fire under N.Y. postpones a.., and I FINALLY got my Aoshima Countach kit in!!…….even if it did look like it was used in the World Cup finals. It was packed so good, that there wasn't even the slightest damage to the box inside!  Since I didn't know I was ever gonna get it, I had already ordered another one. Heres whats on its way.....

Nice looking haul Dan

I have that GTO kit in 1/16 scale, such a beautiful car

This came today. Terry Jesse posted a pic of one. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I coughed up for one of my own.

The listing on Ebay said the yellow one is Ideal. I won't know for sure, until it gets here. They should be fun to check out!

My HL also had them at the higher price. 

[niteowl7710]

But since 40% off is a sliding scale depending on the marked price the $32.99 is still $19 and change with the coupon.

That makes sense then for the Indy racer as ITC Ideal made larger scale models, I had one of their Pegaso once.  I found this picture on eBay.

I will. Thank you so much.

I rescued another Welly Porsche from Rite Aid yesterday, this one a yellow Boxster S. I hope to Snake-Fu it today--it won't take much, just some touchup on the lights and maybe polish a scratch off the windshield. This is the third Porsche I've rescued from Rite Aid.

That's cool! Kurtis Craft? I'm looking forward to checking them out, and seeing what I can do with them, to dress them up.
