It finally happened. I got promoted. It’s been a long story of trials and corporate beaurocracy b/s to get here, but it is here at last. And the whole saga of frustration of previous positions I didn’t get is kind of a blessing in the disguise. This promotion is supposed to be way more of an increase for me compared…
Thanks to my kids wanting to go to Toys R Us, I got in a nice Father’s Day HAWL, including my second ever Green Machine!!! And a TRU exclusive one to boot!!! As cool as it was to find though, it doesn’t really fit in my collection. So I’ve got it up for sale in the LaLD marketplace. If you’re interested, just let me…
I teased it for a week, but here it is finally! My new (to me) 1/18 1993 McLaren F1 road car by Maisto. I don’t get to dip in to the 1/18 scale too often given their typical high price and size contrasting my current lack of storage/display space and diecast budget. But the bug bit me a few weeks back while on…
My latest ebay purchase arrived last night. Here’s another teaser. The wheel should give this one away easy...
WOOT!!!!!! Hope everyone has a $uper day!
Well, there goes the rest of my PayPal account...
So first let me say my vacation wasn’t actually just for diecast, as awesome as that would be. The actually purpose was to go visit my in-laws in Florida. However, I was fortunate enough to get to spend a good amount of time doing some diecast hunting, and I had a great HAWL from this vacation. Especially thanks to a…
So the wife and kids have been visiting with her parents for the last week. I’m going to join them for the next week, as I couldn’t take two weeks off of work, lol. As much of a Tank as the Crown Vic is, I don’t want to put that kind of stress on it. So I ended up renting a car through Hertz as I get free Gold Club…
No, they’re not diecast, but everyone here loves LEGOs right? Picked these up at TRU last night. Apparently the McLaren wasn’t even supposed to be on the shelves for another week or two. The manager was kind enough to override the computer though since they had already stocked them on the display.
On this Day in 1958, Team Lotus makes their Formula 1 debut in the Monaco Grand Prix, the opening the opening event of the year’s European racing season. Their entries into the event were two Type 12s driven by Cliff Allison and Graham Hill. Allison, even though he was 13 laps down and the last running car to cross…
Any recommendations on a good quality, yet not too crazy expensive one? I don’t really have room in my garage for an air compressor, so I was looking into a cordless impact wrench. I have no clue about them though. So, educate me Oppo!
Here’s my HAWL from Target last night. They had just put out a fresh case, so I managed to get the Fandango TH. No $uper, but I grabbed the regular Batmobile for my 2yo son who all of a sudden has a huge Batman obsession. The one I was most excited to find though was the Milano. I love a Guardians of the Galaxy and am…
Does it fall into the category of typical unreliable, crappy Chrysler product? Or does it being a Jeep counteract that? The reason I ask is that there’s one that will be in a local church’s yard sale tomorrow and I’m interested in buying it. It’s a 2005 Laredo 4x4, with 129xxx miles. The interior is pretty dirty…
On this day in 2009, General Motors announced it would discontinue the 83 year-old brand. No more iconic muscle cars like the Trans Am or GTO. No more quirky little cars like the Fiero or the Solstice. But at least we got the sweet relief in knowing that Pontiac’s demise meant we didn’t have worry about the Aztek…
It’s perfect. Absolutely perfect. I need it. Now.
Having two small children, sleep is a very precious and very limited luxury. So since the race aired at 2am local time, I did not get to see the live broadcast. Does anyone know if it will re-air later in the day? Rolls Royce for your time.
The VW wagon is not definitely up for trade. I’m still debating on that one. But the right offer might temp me to part with it since it doesn’t necessarily fit with my collection.
Had to go to Sam’s and get gas on my way into the office this morning. I decided to run into Walmart real quick just to see what they had. I got to freshly stocked dump bin and the nice lady informed me she had just put out 4 boxes, most in the bin, but the overflow went on to the pegs. I rummaged around the top of…
Has anyone had issues with sending in the correct cardbacks for the K-Day Datsun 510 mail-in? I was going through my cardbacks last night to get 20 together to mail off and found that none of them match the “accepted” case codes listed in the rules for the mail-in. Even the ones that I got AT K-Day. For those of you…
