Please post your August 2014 trades and online purchases in this thread... many thanks!

Here's my newest custom... a very special Nathan's Playroom custom from 2012...










I also received a great package from Ferris today... a complete great condition Rollin Bowlin Mater:



Note the KB Toys sticker on the blister - I wish I'd have bought these when I saw them in stores as they were going out of business.





I've had the Mater in a display case as well as an unopened box set, but I'm thrilled to have one that I can put on display.

Many thanks, Ferris!

Site to store. Arrived yesterday, picked up today...

Nice! Now that I know site-to-store works fast I'm headed to the website right now!

I went ahead and ordered on the site to home; with the order being over $50 it was free shipping... and it took 3 days.

They come 6 to a case:


Shifty Sidewinder and McQueen look identical to the singles:

Great stuff guys! I found the Rollin Bowlin Mater set at a car boot sale incomplete, the die-cast mater was long gone. Still, it's a fun set with lights and sounds plus any car can cascade into the ten pins (or seven in this case!) for a strike! I love the SDCC Neon set too. But I would be too afraid to de-cloth mine for fear I would never get it to go back to how it was. I understand Mattel answered this concern by adding re-wrap instructions but still, I would be nervous un-wrapping it! As for the RS 500 pack, I hope they arrive in the U.K soon, Ramone looks just fantastic!

they might start showing up when the walmart resets are done

it was free shipping over $50

so this was easier than hunting them all down

[ksammut]

Do you know how much they cost online?

Thanks!
