really pleased with them both, especially the tow truck. that was a lucky find, as i had initially missed it in the search and then found it the next day.
still a few more to come in, maybe tomorrow hopefully.
these two purchases arrived this week.
really pleased with them both, especially the tow truck. that was a lucky find, as i had initially missed it in the search and then found it the next day. still a few more to come in, maybe tomorrow hopefully. the jungle playground arrived yesterday, finally finishing of my set of jungle friends babies. so pleased to have them all after so many years of wanting.
i snagged the timon pen light this afternoon and am having it sent to kyle. again, something i had as a kid. there is also a scar pocket torch that i want to find. the books were offered for a good price, the BP book has not had the cards stuck in, which suits me. i won another auction that actually has 4 of the 5 cards, with scratch spots still attached. a very unusual find, especially as they would have been released some 28 years ago! and i won the other tomy wind up, this one being an aeroplane. i bought these two on trademe today. the wind up is mint on card, and a color i didnt have yet.
the fun runs, i needed the tow truck. the orange car i have, but the driver appears to be different to mine, and is sadly missing half the face print. currently bidding another another mint on card wind up, closes in an hour so. fingers crossed!! my set of koosh balls has arrived with kyle in america. stoked with them, having their tags still and for such a good price.
timon's tag has come off, but looking at listing photos, it seems like it was only just there and likely came away during shipping. at least it was still included. will have to sort out getting them shipped. hopefully the jungle babies playground is not far away. tracking says it is in the country, so thats a good start. john and i went to tauranga couple of days after christmas. we only went for 2 nights, so a short break but good all the same. we stopped at an open op shop in te kuiti and they had a table of soft toys for free out the front. i grabbed kissing nala and a pound puppy with printed eyes. in tauranga itself, john bought me the new tomy jurassic world spin and pop, and the avatar pop vinyl. avatar is the only theme i collect from them, and this particular one is really nice. we came home via waihi, and stopped at spikes bricks and the waihi railway station. unfortunately, we got our timings off with the train, but will catch it next time.
naptime nala arrived the other day, much faster than anticipated. this left just the playground to buy for the collection, which i successfully did about 40mins ago. so now the jungle friend babies range is complete, which means i can focus on another series, likely the koosh ball set which consists of 4 characters. in other news, john and i took 3 days away and went to stay in tauranga with his sisters. it was great to see them again, and nice to have a short break from home.
on the way back, we stopped at waihi and had a look at the railway there. we missed the train, but will get it next time we go across. |
