john and i did the op shops, and kids market, this weekend just gone. we had some good finds. we skipped the supermarket and warehouse on saturday, and did the op shops in waitara instead. it paid off, especially at the one. john found the blue island playset, sadly incomplete, and then i saw tomy train 2 up on a shelf. missing a couple of easily replaced parts. at kids market, john found the puppy and clock for me. we also picked up a few other odds and ends. was a good time, and awesome to add some rare items to the collection. well, this little site is officially 12 years old!!
its been an awesome journey thus far, and so much has changed and happened in that time. my collection of tomy has extended far beyond trains, and other collections have come more in focus as well. i never thought this site would be around in 12 years, and i am thrilled it is. heres to another 12, hopefully. lets see where we end up. thank you to everyone who visits the site, uses it for reference or stumbled on it completely by mistake. a good tomy hunting day today.
i bought the ice cream truck on trademe, and it appears to be something of a rarity, as neither the seller or i could find one identical online anywhere. there is one similar with get along gang decals, but nothing with stickers like this one has. while chatting with the seller, he went and got a couple more toys he had plans to sell, and one of them was the battered and bruised push n go plane. i couldnt go without it, as it was one i didnt have. very happy with my purchases from him, and hope to deal again in the future. from the valley hospice, i found another of the small cameras in a bag. even though i have one, i couldnt leave it behind either. |
