Without going over everything written in 2008, I’ll just update some of the aspects of the Red Ransburg/Brainstorm 50 Saga. Keep in mind that what was known in 2008 might be different now 8 years later – I did not go back and make any changes to that post. As noted in the auction recap […]

Thanks “John H.” for the huge great pile of photos. Acer with Luggage Cart is definitely DE-Luxe.   Cart detaches. Second cart sold separately. Cart with second hook.   Not the most sophisticated hooking platform but it’s a classic design … aka, hole. Nice cart. Realistically detailed. Guess you’ll have to buy extra Acer’s if you […]

“Joshua C.” couldn’t wait for the PLANES: Fire & Rescue Train Station Conductor, Andre so he made his own.   While Ted Yale, the luggage carrier is announced, the conductor is not as of yet … Thanks “Joshua C.”

Nat McLugnut & Michael Honksel Airport Pitty’s. Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” Pretty darn cute. Compared to a typical Pitty. Nice.   Of course, these guy needs to be displayed with Everett.

Of course, everytime there is a new Disney or Pixar movie, there are quick copycats (like this one for PLANES, called WINGS). They usually don’t garner much attention and of course, the other film maker’s try to fly under the radar as to not attract Disney’s attention but not this guy … “I know of the […]

Krispy Kreme is celebrating their 78th birthday by selling a 2nd box of glazed doughnuts for $.78 … enjoy!

There is a nice Target clearance (?) sale on the 7-Car Gift Pack … listed ONLINE as Not-in-Stock but apparently on sale in stores. AND this Tokyo Race 7-Car Gift Pack is also listed as BO Get 1 50% off … (more pics of the Tokyo Box Set here). Of course, I may have seen one but have […]
