Some more Fast Lane cars.

So here is the third set of Fast Lane ($7.99) cars I got.

First up is the Porsche 911 Turbo

Nice little sports car.

Next up is the BMW Z4.

Another speedy convertible.

Last up is the BMW Series 3 Touring.

Hopefully Mr. J likes his four door wagon. It is nice not to have all sports cars.

Another visit to Toys R Us

Fast Lane Part 2

We had to visit Toys R Us again, and I went and looked at the cars. I saw the Fast Lane ($7.99) set and wondered if they only had one set. I then discovered they had other sets. It is hard to tell since they have set up the colors of the cars to match up with other sets so on a quick glance they look the same. 

First up is the BMW M3.

Nice 2-door sedan.

Next is the Porsche Boxter.

Nice sports car.

Last up is the BMW Series 7.

A four door sedan is great. The down side is this car is big compared to most of the other Fast Lane cars.

I picked up another Fast Lane set, I'll have those in my next post.

Other Cars from Dollar General

I promised I would post the other cars I got from the Dollar General at my last visit (for $2.75 each), well here they are.

First up is a Dodge Viper.

Next up is a pair of Corvettes.

First is a yellow Corvette convertible.

And then a red Corvette.

Smooth and sexy and dangerous if you don't know how to handle them. 

And the cars are pretty powerful also.

Another Visit to Dollar General

I was visiting a relative in another town. As I was leaving, I stopped by a local Dollar General to see if they had any more New Ray City Cruisers or Bburago Street Fire cars. I was in luck, they had five Street Fires ($2.75 each) that I hadn't picked up before. I also grabbed another motocycle ($1). I'm going to split it up in two posts.

First up is the motorcycle.

Scott better watch out, Logan might show up and grab his bike.

Next is a Dodge Magnum.

I'm sure it is no surprise that Mary Jane likes red.

Now we have a Ford Mustang.

Sexy american muscle car, even the Russians love it (especially if it is in red).

Toys R Us Fast Lane

I had to stop by Toys R Us today and I found this three pack of Fast Lane cars ($7.99).

Let's start with the BMW Z8.

Next up is the Mitsubishi Lancer.

Last but not least is the Porsche Cayenne.

They all look pretty good.

US Toy Purchase Part 2

So in the last post I showed some of the purchases I made from US Toy that I thought fit nicely in size.

This time I want to look at the two vehicles I got that didn't look like their sizes are going to work right.

First up is a taxi cab ($5.95).

At first glace the taxi just seems too big compared to the other vehicles. 

Though I will admit that looking at these pictures, it doesn't look too terrible. 

It might work, as long as the smaller vehicles were kept away from it.

Next up is a school bus ($5.95).

It just looks too small. The length might work for a smaller school bus, but the height and width is too small. 

I might be able to pass it off as some kind of SUV if I do some major modifications to it. 

I think it is probably in scale with the car I got from K-Mart.

US Toy Purchase Part 1

I made a purchase from US Toy and got five vehicles. 

This post I'm going to look at the vehicles that look pretty close to the right size.

First up is a tow truck ($3.95).

The tow truck looks a little small, but not horribly so. I've seen pickups about this size before, so while I might not see it for a real tow truck, just as a compact pickup truck it looks fine. 

Next up is an antique roadster ($4.95).

The roadster looks pretty good. And I think it will fit in nicely with the cars I picked up from the Goodwill the other day.

Last up is a safari vehicle ($3.95).

I think this was the best size fit. The miniature is a little wider than normally so it might not be as obvious.
It was also one of the cheaper vehicles, so that was nice.
I might pick up some more of these later. Obviously the paint job has got to go.

Next post I'll have the 2 vehicles I got that I thought the sizes were unfortunately off a bit.
