Good week for my collection

[special-K]

Nice! So,someone is making that Blazer HO slot car again? I got that Napa truck last fall at a store in a town where a friend lives. I never saw one at my Napa store. It says it's from 2010. I've been wanting one of those First Gears and really want one with just a plain old factory looking paint job. The Cabella's and other promos just didn't quite motivate me. I like this Napa one because that's who I prefer to use for parts around here and it's done in a style from '67 as if it could have been an actual parts hauler. After all,Napa doesn't even use black & yellow anymore.

This is the one you want then...


Here are some pics of the rest of my collection...









I'm not missing too many that I know of, but a few I'm still trying to track down are the other hwy 61's which I only get when I can afford to and There are more versions of the NFL ones and jada showroom floor series I'll probably collect over time. Also want the 1/64 scale ertl ones. I just have the bell system one now but there was a napa versin and I think a plain one also.

Yes,that's the one. And there's a medium green one I believe. I'd buy this one for another commercial version if I found one:


I have a couple of those 1/64 Bell Ertls...one in pkg and one kinda rough I got in a pkg deal to restore. Would like to find a Napa one but I do have this one:

I got a couple new item for the collection. One I got on the board here and its one I don't remember seeing before. Right time to hit up the parts board I guess.

And then tonight I won this plastic toy version from Processed Plastic Co on ebay. I think they were pretty big back in the day. Did a big wheel knock off, those army guy toys and a bunch of other vehicles. I found some on ebay (didn't bid) for corvettes, camaros mustangs and mavericks, among others. I like that it has GMC logos but a 68 chevy grill.

I guess there is a "weekender" version also with a camper.

Very nice collection. I'd really like one of those black and yellow NAPA trucks, but I'll never find one up here in Canada even though we have NAPA stores. You are a smart man as I see your models are either in their original box or in a display case. That is the way I have my collection.

Thanks, its been fun and it gives me options to ask for as gifts from the family. Most of my newer trucks that are not in the packages are duplicates I display of ones I have in the original packaging.

I can probably get you one of the napa trucks here. I think they are around $40 plus tax, and then a little bit for me for my time plus shipping.
