It's possible. If he does a small padded envelope.

I don't need the card so he can cut off all that section of paper and leave the blister attached to the rest of the card. That will dramatically reduce the size.
 
Great grabs, Ben!!! The old Lesneys are cool, and the Torino is minty. And we share the pain of not having the snowtracks with the tracks, lol.

Also, watching the green 442.

Hopefully you'll watch me win it! :)

^^ I'll take that RX-7 off your hands...

Got the Ferrari's I traded for in the mail today. Apparently the guy misunderstood me as I thought he had the 250 GTO's, when in fact he sent me 288 GTO's. :ouch:

Guess they go on eBay...
 
Jelly over the Matchbox RX-7 and Top Gear Hilux. :p

Anyways... Went to Walmart because my parents sent me there to buy some stuff and thought I'd stop by the Hot Wheels despite knowing the fact that the pegs were overflowing. However, I found a dump bin! It's been too long since we've had a dump bin and I found some E case cars!

E30 M3 (Only found one...wanted to find more. :grumpy:)
2 F12 Berlinettas
Carrera GT
Shelby Supersnake
And...Superleggera.
 
Just went on a mini shopping spree on eBay. Bought 5 cars all from the same seller, so I saved over $10 on combined shipping. 👍 Total came out to $15, $6 of that was shipping.
 
That's the way to do it. 👍
I don't like to buy multiple cars off eBay unless they're from the same seller.
 
^True dat.



I'm giving a lot of thought to opening my $TH El Camino. The thing just gleams under the light, but the current going price makes me want to keep it carded for now.
Jason, do you have one of these?
 
Umm, $2?

Also, got a response from a Mattel employee regarding the Speed Machines:

Steve (HW Designer)
Speed Machines was my line, and I've heard nothing about a re-use or carry-forward... and the Basic wheels are weird.

So there you have it.
 
After posting the Premiere Edition I thought,

"How many RX-7 I can find in the basement?"

Turns out: Five

ToyManShow is tomorrow! I usually do quite well there...I just spend to much money! PS: The video on the sites homepage couldn't be filled with anyone more fitting of the nerd description than the folks they chose to tape.

I don't know if he's taunting, or showing off to Jason.

Maybe both. j/k :p

He's got the market cornered in the Miata department though!
 
The guys at the post office said domestic and international Im probably gonna have to do some research tho
On the box, it is noted how weight limit exist for international shipping. I have no idea if the rate stays the same though. My impression was the 50 states are flat rate, international extra.
