the detailing on the engines is really nice, and i like how the bases of the sets are empty... space for putting similar themed minis for display.

the new pop up playsets arrived this morning. they are much larger than i expected. chunkier and taller. the boxes are the same height as the collectors wheel, and twice as thick.

i grabbed one of each item, including the wheel since my other one is full. they should be here in a couple of weeks. with thanks to yalllow over at blueplastictracks, i have the 3 tootsie minis. i traded a spencer launcher for them, and they arrived today.
and thanks to a tip off from hunter down in palmy, i went to the warehouse and picked up two new 4pks of dc minis. out of 8 engines, only 2 are repeats. they were in a box on the overhead shelf, so i had to ask one of the staff to get it down for me. my 5 cases are officially full, with the 3 tootsie minis sitting on top due to no more space. going to have to track down some cheaper ones somewhere. with many, many thanks to melissa, who emailed me last night, i have put up a new page for the hand cranked toddler ride on trains.
i had only seen one like it before on jauce, decorated with mickey mouse. melissa's is more of a generic design, with no licensed characters. instead it features a bear and raccoon crew. she allowed me to share her photos, for which i am very appreciative. today, i had to collect my parcel from toot toot in australia. the spencer launcher and motorised track set had arrived. i really like the detailing on spencer and james. thomas is a tad more restrained. click the pics to see the pages. |
