Great additions guys! Love that Mood Spring chief

The good news... I received my first package at our new home today (no, we're not yet moved in)... from KK&PP_Cars:



Many thanks, Carlos!


The bad news... the gas water heater at the new house... not only is there a problem with the thermocouple, the gas valve to the water heater is leaking... so we've shut it off... still no hot water... hopefully the home warranty covers it with a $100 deductible... otherwise, it's going to be over $800 for a new water heater, which means I don't get the new carpet that is needed in the basement (family room and Cars room).

and a bummer about the water heater

I hope your warranty covers it

I forgot to mention that I was able to pick up several older Cars last week from a local Craigslist post. The lady's son was moving on to Legos, so he was dismantling his Cars collection. We got:

Damaged "The King"
Bling Bling McQueen
Duff Wrecks
Bubble-blowing Mater
T.J.
#54 Faux Wheel Drive (rubber tire)
#80 Gask-its (rubber tire)
Hamm
Not Chuck w/tool chest
Golden Mia & Tia
(and we almost got Bessie, but he changed his mind to keep that one)

Some amazing additions everyone!

Great additions Chris, shame about the problem with the new house

neon frosty from china has arrived

neon frosty from china has arrived

Nice!

Aus haven't got the neons yet. Here's hoping that target release this as another frosty special.

[cac1959]

I like that Neon Frosty, carslover... I predict it will be the next Australia Target special.

Great additions, odisn.

I received a package with Lubewig, Doc Hudson, Sidewall Shine, and Spare O Mint singles from a friend in northern Indiana... I think I now have all the ones from the Lubewig case I need even though I've never seen them in a store.

Got Judge Davis in the mail last Wednesday from a trade...

No Krogers around here, so no chance of finding this one on my own.

thanks cac1959

I would hope so, but if US target has pulled out of the neons, they may never make it to Australia

I still need to find more lubewig cases for others and I still need the nigel with flames, he was missing when I found my one lubewig
