Today's hunt has been one of the best in a long time. I decided it was time to check multiple stores, you know branch out a little. So the first stop was a Walmart. This one yielded nothing, so I moved on to the next stop which was a Walgreens. This store had two basic cars and some other empty pegs, so I once again moved on. Now here's where the fun began. My third stop was another Walmart, which I was able to find two more of the Car Culture Desert Rally trucks (yay!).
I was so stoked to get two more, and I have to say the '80 Dodge Power Wagon is a beast of a truck. The design on the '88 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is subtle, not to flashy, but you get the point when you see it. This '88 Jeep means business and it came to win the Desert Rally. That just leaves the Baja Bug that I have to find (fingers crossed). Now just when I was about to leave the row, an employee came with a push cart of things to put away. A small box was pulled and to my surprise it was full of these.
Score! I could not believe what I was seeing. I decided to wait till they were all put on the pegs before I grabbed one. This is one fantastic F-150 Raptor, and a welcomed addition to my Forza premium collection. Alright I said, onto the next stop, which so happened to be yet another Walmart. This stop also yielded some acquisitions. The first, are the last three Matchbox Moving Parts I was looking for.
Finally! I had been looking for the '83 Buick Riviera for so long. I'm also loving the color on the '65 Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback. When it comes to classic cars, I really like this particular blue. The next things I found were these two Fast Rewind cars from the Fast and Furious premium assortment.
Sweet! Now I just have to try and track down the last three from this assortment. Still as I like to say, something is better than nothing. At first I was on the fence about these, but after seeing them in person, I'm not anymore. The Skyline kind of grew on me after looking at it. I also figured that the Nissan Silvia (CSP311) is debuting, so why not get the first release of it. At this point I was getting hungry, so I went to a near by Albertsons for a snack.I then found the new Christmas set. As usual I didn't get the whole set, but I did want to keep up the recent tradition of getting the Happy New Year Carbonator.
This has been one heck of a day, especially since the last few times hunting have been a little dismal.
Okay that's all for today, do post a comment what your recent finds are. As always happy collecting everyone!
