You seem to do well finding Majorettes at these Value Village shops. Shame they don't have the even older issues, otherwise you'd be quids in.

Kind of sound like Catholic Charities or the Salvation Army stores that are around the midwest here.

Pretty close, the stores are privately owned and solicate donations of new and used anythiing. They pay a contracted amount to a charity on a per pound basis, The Value Villages around here support the Diabetes Society.

SO it is like a large garage sale inside, or a Salvation Army thrift store, only a lot neater then teh Sally Anns around here. I check out the Salvation Army Thrift store here in S'Side regularily, Get lucky there some times too with diecast finds.

Next to HotWheels they seem to be the most common of diecast around the second hand shops. Which is strange becuase I don't remember them being very popular or common in teh stores 10, 15 or 20 years ago.

Todays haul

1 HW Power pipes, my youngest daughter collcts HW Power Pipes, and only HW PP's and I found her 1 she did not have

1 Mtachbox Getty Peterbuilt

1 HW generic pickup truck with a big engine in the back

1 Majorette Audi TT

and 1 High Speed no 212

Some days you luck out with lots and some days teh pickings are pretty slim, Today's a slim day except for the Power Pipes Care will be very happy

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
I dunno, that Getty tanker is a sweet find in my opinion! Mine was one of my favorites as a kid. I had (and still do) both the short tanker (which is the one I think you picked up) and the Convoys version.

Someone should call a wrecker for the hummer. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a Bomb Disposal vehicle. Seriously tho, nice haul dude! Ernest
