I found a bunch of new MB's in the store today and this was the only one I picked up. Thought it was kinda cool lookin with the 30's, 40's, or 50's look.

Support your local demo derby.

Suspect this is the model that most MB collectors are waiting for this year. Looks stellar from the pics. TY. :wave:

This will be a very popular model with the fire engine collectors - really looks well done by Matchbox. Now to actually find one on the pegs.

I usually don't grab the reg. version fire engines due to their size being so small, but this one will be the exception. Very nice!!!

This is the only Matchbox issue of 2012 I am really looking forward to...I didn't know it was due out, I didn't even bother to check the Matchbox section at our Wal-Mart when I went in this past Saturday.

^This. I will grab this one for sure! I think it's supposed to be a 1952 if I remember correctly from last year's announcement.

that is a sharp lookin model (even if too small for 1/64) looks like a lot of detail right out of the pkg...

I found two of these today after visiting my local Wal-mart. First I'd seen of them. Pretty sharp firetruck, the detailing is excellent in my opinion. I think it'll fit in perfect with my HO scale train and diecast.

I agree this is an excellent model and even though i don't collect fire apparatus models. I have ordered this one from Kiddie Kar! But the one I am really waiting for is the 56 Buick Century 2 door in police logos. It reminds me of the TV Show cars of Highway Patrol starring Broderick Crawford; one of my favorite cop shows as I was growing up as a teenager !

Just got one today at Kiddie Kar!
It was a good day to go to Kiddie Kar in Reading. Dave Specht went with me and we both added this outstanding Seagrave to our collections. I purchased 7 other models as well and Dave bought even more. Fellow PMCC menber Bill Deegan arrived just as we were leaving.

(After Kiddie Kar we stopped at an animal shelter just a few blocks away and I found a new dwarf hamster named Rose. She made it back okay from the hot car ride and is now adjusting to her new home.)

Yeah, you guys were there when I returned Joyce's call. No way could I have gotten there while you were still there. ;) Congrats on the new hamster! I hope to see some pics!
