LALD Cares: Charity cars delivered!
Over 500 cars donated, thanks for sending us your cars. The cars were delivered to some small clinics in rural NE Missouri then the boys and I had a fun drive to the heart of St. Louis to deliver them to the children’s hospital. Thanks again. Once again, let me say this is a fun, family-friendly, community. Thank you
For your consideration-Permission to be an author
my son would like permission to be an author of LALD. (Jumping off my couch, throwing the phone down, and raising my right hand)... “He will be supervised at all times when writing and taking pictures... And he will only use my phone, which I found is the most kid-friendly way to navigate Kinja. If this is not allowed…
25 dollars
25 dollars: free shipping to lower 48. Proceeds go to J’s charity car drive. First to claim it gets it.
Coming soon: Super Treasure hunt charity sale
My parents blindly bought this last Month at DG when they picked up a bunch of BOGO cars for my son’s charity car drive. J was going through his charity cars and just found it. We kind of hoped this would happen and it DID. J is going to sell it on here. The proceeds will go towards more cars to donate. Stay tuned!…
Do you think this is the best deal if buying in "bulk"?
J and his friend have raised about 150 dollars in cash to buy some diecasts to donate to our local hospitals.
Car Club Fundraising Link
Here is the link if you want to donate to the Car Club Toy Car drive for the St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Don’t know if using Facebook for this endeavor was a mistake or not...
Challenging chassis: Review by a 4th grader, again.
This is “J” president of th car club. The Hot Wheels “Drag strip demons” never failed to impress me...almost. In 1969 Mattel made the Snake and Mongoose franchise. In 1977, HW introduced the Plymouth Aero funny car. When I got the 1971 Dodge Challenger Ramchargers I was expecting the normal Drag strip demons chassis,…
You guys rock and keep things kid-friendly..Thank you!
My son is 9, highly gifted, does extremely well in school but is cursed with very high anxiety. This place helps him relax a little when he comes home from school and gives me and him some common ground to talk about and discuss.... Especially this time of year when I’m gone quite a bit from home with basketball…
Forth Grade diecast review By J; 1st gear owner in 4th grade
Welcome to my second review. I am President of the car club. Speaking of that, the car club is not meeting due to my Dad having 1,000,000,000 basket-ball games. Anyway, l am writing a review on a First Gear 1946 Dodge Power Wagon tow truck. I like Dodge and 4x4s so I like Power Wagons. Since I watched the movie Cars…
The Hunt: Looking for the Plymouth Mongoose and Snake retro rigs.
My son has saved his money, made space on his MOPAR wall, and has drafted my immediate and not so immediate family to search for these...Alas, we have come up short in our search..The scalper and/or Ebay market for these two sets is beyond ridiculous and on the verge of being underhanded. So does anyone have an extra…
Breaking up all of the VW Beatle..Errrrr.. I mean.. Porsche pictures-TOY DRIVE PSA
My son and his 4th-grade car club are raising cars and money (to buy more cars) for our local children’s hospital. The cars need to be new in package and the club will pay for your shipping. If you want to contribute financially let me know and I can send you my PayPal e-mail. Again, those funds will be used to buy…
How do you "weather" a diecast?
My son wants to have a weathered/rust look to some of his tractors for a toy show in Feb. The hobby shops were a little overwhelming with their different types of paint that do that. How do you guys do it? Looking for a more affordable way that is 9 year old friendly. (I’m supposed to keep my mitts off of this…
2018 Car Club Christmas Car Drive
Most of you know my 9-year-old son is president of an after-school diecast car club. Besides trading and discussing cars, they also bring in new unopened 1/64 cars to donate to our local children’s hospital. They will start in a few weeks...So...If you have unwanted, carded, 1/64 cars you would like to donate the car…
First world problems
It seems I have paid money for items that we haven’t received and we might have requested items without paying the buyer. It now seems that my notifications and comments on Kinja only go back to a certain date, thus we cannot see our prior dealings. Especially the ones where I let my son make some deals (parenting…
