I want one. Probably a couple. One to keep and one to custom. Ok 5 to custom.



Just beast


That..... looks kind of cool. Tis going to be a struggle to keep out of my bin.
 
How could he have done any of that when he didn't even open it?

Let off the guy, mon.
He said yesterday I had the h case super, so hence no reason to dig through h cases anymore, is what I was hinting at. I apologize if it seems I'm being harsh, but even if I worked at a place like Wal-Mart I'd never dig through shipments before the hit the floor, or on clock. It's wrong, and ruins it.

Anyway. Today was...interesting.

Auto World 68 cougar- see, it's a cougar, I buy it. I got 2 hw versions, an M2 and now an Autoworld, which I think is the best version. Why is it they always do 68 cougars. Where's my Cougar Eliminator.

Interesting part one
IMAG0635_zpsf1a254ca.jpg~320x480


I love when stores are behind on sets of premium cars, so there's chances to get older ones. Like these cool classics. I love this series for no reason. 84 Mustang SVO. Sweeeet. Another SVO for me. Looks great. Ford galaxie 500. Winning. So good. Best of the three. Volkwagon dragster. Love the purple, cool car. .

Interesting part 2.

So you know those Green Light 4 car movie sets. These?
greenlight-1-64-film-reels-hollywood-4-pack-smokey-the-bandit-pre-order-1.gif


Well I normally pass them by, because, while the price is reasonable, the movies so far haven't caught my eye. Supernatural had a road runner which was cool. Gone in 60 sec had Elenor. Neat. But not worth the whole set. Well today I went to TRU, looking for new matchbox. Specifically the Alfa. No luck. Well when leaving I saw an employee pushing a cart full of toys to a dumpster. On the side wedged in was the Green light Smokey and the Bandit set. I asked him what he was doing. He explained they were damaged items and they catalogue then toss them. I asked about the set, and he said somebody stole one from it so they were to Chuck it. I asked if it happened to disappear if he would be in trouble. He laughed and handed it to me, told me to knock myself out. Shook his hand and went on my way. I doubt ill ever get the other missing car, but it's fine. 3 free greenlights is still awesome.

Dodge Monaco- best of the set hands down. For basically only loving the monaco, but it's a great casting too.
Ford Bronco - cool, but it has a couple issues. The hood doesn't close properly, and the window is all one piece plastic and kinda wiggles alot.
Trans am- supposed to be the star, but for me it's not. It's cool, but not really my favorite thing. I'm not even sure which movie this one was in.

So if you worked 8 hours unloading trucks and pulling freight you wouldn't look through at least one dump bin or single cases after your shift? I do it because I want to end the day on a high note.

Digging through cases as an employee is one thing, but doing it on the clock is actually against the rules and if someone complained, the employee could be fired.

Nope. When I finish off a work day my first thought is food and a shower. That's a high note. You make it sound like you get screwed over all day. It's just retail. I've done it. It's not that bad. I go looking on my days off, or when I work half days. And I'd go to other stores.

We're currently short staffed, half the week we have me and 3 other people unloading 1,800 to 2,000 piece trucks and were supposed to get them done by 6pm no matter what the size is.

HW's attempt at a Tesla tried a little too hard for its own good. MBX's is so more simple, and as a result, looks so much cleaner and better. And as Lamley said, the Elmiraj is an odd example of a good 2015 HW; no oversized wheels and no "uplift chin". The only thing it really lacks are some rear stickers, the rear looks too plain.

Hot Wheels Tesla = FAIL.

Got another box in the mail. Don't feel like taking a pic, but this is what was in it:

Oh dear, a pink R2-D2 car? The hell? There's gotta be a good reason as to why you bought it man, because I don't know what else would you get one of those... :confused:

That Smokey & The Bandit set is really cool. I am not a movie specialist, but I know a bit about those movies. And I really like the golden Trans Ams, so that helps. I'd say the one you have comes from the second movie, because of the front end (no golden lines like the one used for the first movie, not to mention the different headlights). The Monaco looks a bit plain, but it does look good. Overall, you got really lucky with getting three of the four cars, even though you left out the most iconic (IMHO) of them all. 👍
