Awesome jonj...just got to cross Barry and Dragon LMQ off my list too!! Great feeling isnt it??

And Komodo is one of my favorite Toons as well!!

Where do you guys find Barry? Fleabay sellers are asking insane prices (3 figures plus).

In my case I found a great member at CTT who I had been helping get some cars. Turns out he had an extra and we put a trade together for it! Never really expected to get one, but so happy we did!

Carslover notice any defects or anything on that Frank? Was gonna pick one up when I saw it for $35 from china but never did!! Wasn't too sure about the whole China thing at the time.

no it is just as good quality as the dirty frank i got out of a package
there are several differences
dirty frank code 0999AZ
clean frank code 1087EA
the red taillight is not on clean frank
the vent is not black on clean frank
the grain arm moves on clean frank
the windows on the left side are not the same
if you can believe the date codes
clean frank was made 2 years before dirty frank

I got lucky with a hefty purchase from a local collector. He sold me everything at cost he paid for it which was really really kind of him.

Congratulations on completing your rubber tire racer collection, Scavenger... and your silver racer collection (until they release more)... and Nurse GTO is probably my favorite nurse/pitty/doctor from the tall tale...

Great packages, OzzieMum! Your son is super excited to get all of them!

I saw a RIP Micro drifter pack in Smyths this week and as we don't care about micro drifters we didn't get it..... How rare is that one then? Could always go back and get it if anyone wants it?
