Re: Good week for my collection
Cool! I have that one too. FYI green light is releasing a new black c10 with a flatbed trailer and a green county roads series in November. I checked yesterday at the local TRU and Walmart. I came up with nothing.

I didn't know they were even making these. Huge surprise. Found it at a shopko store.

Re: Good week for my collection
Nice score! I just won 6 of those on ebay a few days ago. Just waiting for them to arrive. I was never able to find any on pegs myself.

Re: Good week for my collection
My girlfriend got me a couple more for Christmas.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps9ee8ad41.jpg Also, a while back I picked up a display case. I had planned to hang it on a wall but I think it's too heavy if I can't secure it to the wall studs. And that's not an easy thing to find in an old house with heavy plaster walls. So I figured I need a shelf of some kind to set it on. I went down to the basement to look at some boards for possibly making a book case style shelf and noticed one I had in the corner that wasn't really being used for much anymore. So I cleaned it up a bit and drug it upstairs. I spent a couple hours rearranging my collection. I still have some 1/64 scale stuff to put out, but I was happy to finally get my big scale stamped steel trucks out for display! http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps37ac0ba0.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psd27442ca.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps43767446.jpg |
Re: Good week for my collection
I got these off eBay over the past couple weeks too.

Re: Good week for my collection
I added these last week. A little gift to myself.

Re: Good week for my collection
Three great ones. I need to get another yellow & white camper, any GL with slots, and that green one. I'll have to start looking again

Re: Good week for my collection
I found this monster truck at the Walmart in Bismarck ND tonight. It's using the 67-72 Chevy body. They should make the USA-1 truck with this body like it originally was.

Re: Good week for my collection
Does anyone have a picture of the original USA-1 truck from back then. I have a couple of extra castings and could possibly do one.

Re: Good week for my collection
That's a very nice collection you have there. That shelf worked out well for it. I really like how you have a model of your truck and blazer too.

Re: Good week for my collection
Back in the day, Matchbox did a set of monster trucks which included USA-1 and Bigfoot. Both the trucks are on the same casting, even though they were Chevy and Ford. The casting in ambiguous at best - but more Fordlike. I'm still hoping for a true early Chevy version. I found a custom version on the Hot Wheels casting like the Titan above which is pretty good, but not $35 good.
Here is an example of the one I have now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-Matchbo...3D201699174833 |

Re: Good week for my collection
The wife got me this one for Christmas. It's an outstanding die cast. Amazing detail.

Re: Good week for my collection
I had some Christmas money to spend so I bought myself some presents. Found a site that had some things I didn't already have.
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psdl5tweba.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psipl53jps.jpg This one I really like. My first bike was an 81 Kawasaki 750 LTD. Had it back when I was in the navy. A couple years ago I came across a good deal on an 82 750 LTD. This model is the earlier version, but close enough for me. Love these bikes. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psvh1ed4mb.jpg Here's mine... http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...pskxbkhgkm.jpg Had the seat recovered. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps1pyninp2.jpg Painted the frame silver, and the wheels. New exhaust, foot pegs, mirror, chain/sprockets, etc. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psfiyts9a3.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psinav0yo5.jpg Drilled some holes in the chain guard. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psw1speit5.jpg I still need to paint the tank and side covers, new rear shocks, fix a wiring problem with the tail light and install the new blinkers for the rear and I think it needs a valve adjustment. Fun bike though. |

Re: Good week for my collection
Very nice additions to your collection. I've acquired most of those but could never find the Greenlight Black Bandit or the Supernatural set.
