New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I was making my end of the workweek stops before my long drive home, and decided to put back about $10 worth of diecasts I had in my hands at TRU. Stopped in the Target, saw this, and bang, no savings again this week---I'm over budget again with these little toy cars!!!!

That's the trouble with this hobby, Ivan - it's impossible to set a budget for what you buy. I've tried it before but it's never worked. If I see something I like and it's the right price, I'll buy it. End of. |

Agreed. No matter what the budget says, there's always room for cars. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Likewise. None of the others move me in the least. As for running out of cash because of diecasts- that's happened to me more times than I care to admit... |

Much cheaper to buy some of the older ones from the '90s used than to buy multiple new ten packs for just one model.

JAMES, I didn't even notice that the plow was back on that truck until right after I took the photo, and started putting the vehicles in my "Jammer" display boxes. I hope the next single release of the truck will also have the plow. |

STANGFREAK, I think this is one of those mid-year releases that contain all UNIQUE color revamps, not available as mainlines or in five packs, so it is worth it to get it for the ones you like---that's why I bought it. These certainly would look good on your dioramas!! |
