Recent Finds: December 2012 trades and online purchases

a nice pre-christmas arrival



and even charlie appears to like these two

That's a champagne moment! When items like that arrive, it makes it all worthwhile!

After a good September and great October and November, December has been distinctly dull in comparison. All we've got to show for the first 24 days of December is a Race Team Mater on a straight card and a Miles Axlerod with Toyko Party Staff movie moment from TX Maxx. The MMs card was good, but the blister was a little dented here and there. Not bad for 5.99GBP (if it's the only one we ever see?). It's a nice cheap package for an opener!

awsome scores yuffie, 2 of the last few still needed in my collection

[yuffie]

got them for a fair cost although more than i'd ideally have paid but decided that if i can get all the cars 2 singles and deluxes then that could be a nice cut off point - now just waiting for rip to arrive and that will be that

(although i am tempted to start collected the 2013 line and keep them carded)

Great addition, yuffie! Charlie looks very happy to be holding those 2...

[bobbyjack]

Wonder if those two will turn out to be the next Chuck and Brian and only available internationally?

here you go nigel



you are indeed right,ours are intended for the european market,whereas the 4 language version are found in other locales around the globe.i have witnessed auctions in brazil,mexico,canada,singapore and australia for them.

A rather belated thanks for the photos and confirmation of the Europe v. International cards design.
