if i do change my mind one day, you will see it to the right above the archives column.
i have decided not to reinstate the contact button. i have read a few reports on new privacy laws, and dont fully understand it right now, so thought it better to be safe than sorry and leave it off.
if i do change my mind one day, you will see it to the right above the archives column. well, the plarail lot i bought some 4 weeks ago has finally arrived, after weeks of delays from the person i had picking it up for me. it was well worth the wait, the trains are in top notch shape. the 3 photos below show some of the odds and ends that were included. the first one has the blue rapit engine and middle car that i needed to go with a tail car. the last photo has mcdonalds toys. the front green one has a stamper underneath, and the back one has moving pictures by way of a switch on the roof. i have been cleaning out stuff in the attic so mum could get at her wool to repair a moth-eaten jersey. i told her she couldnt say no to anything of mine i threw down the manhole. result so far is 4 carloads of assorted toys and such have been donated to local op shops. all of my cabbage patch dolls have gone, along with a few remaining care bears, and a bunch of other stuff besides.
once we have finished getting rid of my stuff, i will bring down the things mum needs to sort, as she finds it hard still to get into the attic, and its easier to pass things down to her at the bottom of the ladder, as opposed to throwing stuff down and blocking up the exit, which we have done before! we took one load to the sallies today, and i found the big bag of tomy there. the mickey mouse truck i found in the attic, something i didnt even know i had! found more lion king baby stuff on trademe the other day, a cot valance and clothes hamper. the seller was kind enough to price up shipping the hamper for me, and at $35 posted, i couldnt say no. i also won the black canadian hoodie for $10 last night, $9 of which is for postage. i also have two bricklink orders coming, to complete a wall-e that i got from a bulk lot a couple of weeks back. one order is from here in nz, and the other is coming from america. wonder which one will arrive first, given both orders were placed on the same day.
i am still waiting for the tomy plarail lot i was getting picked up in auckland to arrive. hopefully my contact gets on to it sooner rather than later, as its been several weeks now. went into the warehouse today, and decided to wander down the thomas aisle. i wasnt expecting anything, and was shocked to see 2 boxes of 2018/1 on the shelf! due to not having a list of new numbers, i bought one of every number to ensure i got the full set. as always, the repaints look great. sadly, shane leaves a lot to be desired. the face painting isnt great, and theres a spot under his nose that was missed. but, i wont buy a replacement, as its not obvious from a distance, unlike the hiro i got a year or so back with the misaligned decals. have done a little buying on jauce, too, winning an auction with 2 plarail shirts, and i couldnt resist one with a cap in it either. might add some capsule stuff for the n scale layout and call it quits on there again.
