Popped into one of the local hobby shops today. They don't order 1/64 but they do a lot of estate sale work, so they have a large collection to pick through and there's some real gold in there if you're willing to do the work.

This is a cautionary tale for you, "I only buy a few at Walmart, or Target or Toys R Us" collectors out there - this will be you.

Worse, or better if you ask me, is the fact that I immediately unbox them and zoom them around the floor. They're for my daughter, now only 3 months old, that when she's old enough to, she'll have the best collection of cars in the neighborhood and such that it'll put all the boys cars, put together, to shame.

Anyway, like my haul?

Just wait until you starting buying them by the case... :p

I've just received my first Auto World 6 car sealed case and I've already decided to buy another when my birthday rolls around next month. Out of nowhere, new collection!

Ah - I see you've found a red Stratos - found mine at a swap meet for real big boy toys.
