Nice snag on the yellow 510. The A&W pens are amusing.
they say "Refreshing America for over 50 years" so that dates them

You don't want to lower the size taken with the camera. You want to take big pictures and crop and resize them. Pictures always get tighter when you shrink the dimensions because it makes them sharper by default. Infanview is a free program that will let you edit them a bit.

The silver Camaro is a good one...trying to remember if that was a 5 pack only issue.

I also see a wreck of a redline Python.

The red #27 is a Tonka TNT Racer. They had a launcher that you would smack which would compress air and shoot the car off.

Any redline (the python) at that price is a bargain. Straighten those axle stubs and slide some used red lines back on it! :thumbup:

OK, we're way over the line now. This is not the sale board.

It's one thing, a wink and a nod between friends...it is quite another to post out on the main boards saying it is a sale thread. Fair warning. Next time thread will be closed.

Thread has been reported so the other mods are aware.

I remember those Micro Machine trains - my son had a bunch of them - and who knows they may still be in one of the boxes he still has stored here.

I remember getting that Presidential Physical Fitness badge when I was in the 6th grade. That would be around 1981. My mom probably still has it somewhere.

We had snow earlier this week - wet heavy stuff that was good for our dry ground when it melted and soaked in - which didn't take that long. :D
