Cool grabs on the Australian exclusive MB. I've actually not seen that New Holland before with a loader. Looks like it lacks a cab seat. Nice scores! :thumbup:

Looks like you did well! Surprisingly, the '57 TH is the pick of the litter for me.

The Redline Mighty Maverick (with original wing!) was at a price too good to pass up. You can see what condition it's in. I'm surprised no one's commented on the Tiger Wheel Chevelle. I was assured its a dud on the track but that's not why I bought it so that's all right by me. The '57 T-hunt? Also at a great price courtesy of a forum member here (and if you read this, thank you very much!). The blue Hot Bird? The price I paid for that ($3.33) would be considered theft in most jurisdictions.

So for those of you who went to World's Greatest in Edison this year I'm going to apologize for their false advertising. CARnival remains the greatest show out there, we just don't like to boast about it.

We may not have had a lot of our regulars, but we did have a fantastic time. Cars, folks, and fun - we had it all!

Thank you! :)

I may have forgotten to show what I picked up at Outback Toys since I didn't consider that part of the show proper. Any interest in seeing those scores too?

Is that pink on the TW Chevelle? I've never seen one in that color before, but I like it!

I'd call it more of an orchid, but yes, the color caught my eye as well. And it's a Tiger Wheels so it's not like the opportunity to purchase one comes along often...
