    Nice to learn a little more about you carslover

    You must have a HUGE storage space to have 1000+ cars still boxed up (in addition to the 1000+ opened ones)

    5 Rips in one day... I'd settle for just the one!

    Great choice on the Star Wars movies too - I'll agree that I liked them ALL too (*now prepares to be ridiculed)

      carslover, nice to learn something about you, lol. I feel very privileged that i have found a very fine friend in you. The only downside of carslover is : he owns so much more cars than i do, he has such an awesome display for all his stuff, he has the bigger car (Dodge RAM) . Thanks for being my friend (and for the endless stuff that you have send to me so far) and thanks for ignoring my bad english, lol.

        Nothing wrong with liking all 6 Star Wars movies. I like the first 3 better because those are the ones we grew up with, but I think a lot of younger kids who grew up with the Prequels like those better. They also had a cool Clone Wars TV series to support that. All we had were some Marvel comic books and some Ewok movies. Good to learn more about you carslover.

              Nice to learn more about you, carslover... my wife and I passed through (around) Wichita Falls during a trip to Abilene in spring 2012.

              I love how you display your loose Cars; my wife would probably like me to learn Cars organizational skills from you.

              I have seen all 6 Star Wars movies - in the theater, on VHS, and DVD... I got the blu-ray collectors edition for Christmas a few years ago but haven't opened it yet.

              And as keonisdad said, thanks for helping me out with Cars and Hot Wheels as well.


              I am cac1959... I am a Cars-a-holic... and a proud supporter of Nathan's Playroom

                  So since you work in distribution, do you understand Mattel's distribution habits? Or does it puzzle you as much as the rest of us?? LOL

                  Good read, good to know more about you...what games do you play on the 360? I have 2 360's(1 upstairs and 1 in the man cave) but dont play much, but might have to swap gamertags!

                    thanks for your nice comments

                    it does not take up that much space, most of it fits in a closet

                        thanks for your comments
                        the first 3 are better, but the effects are better in the last 3
                        I was 10 when the first movie came out and I still have all my star wars toys from then
                        they are all played with, maybe not worth much but I can't get rid of them

                              thanks for your comments Chris
                              we moved from Wichita falls almost 40 years ago so it has changed quite a bit since then
                              we went for a visit about 10 years ago and I hardly recognized it
                              like you I saw all the movies in the theater and have them all on VHS and DVD
                              I have resisted changing to blu ray as I have 1500+ movies / series on DVD
                              and you are most welcome for the help getting cars for you
                              and if you do want help getting organized just ask
