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.

Second Hand Store Purchases

I stopped by a second store and went through their toys. 
Here are the ones I settled on. The entire purchase was $2.40.

First up is a fire truck. Looks to be the right scale.



Next up is a tanker. It seemed a bit big, but couldn't beat the price.



Then I found a couple of old happy meal toys. 

First one is Doc Hudson from Cars. I'm going to have to try to take it apart and 
remove the windup mechanisms. Obviously it will need a repaint.



The other Cars toy was Sally. She'll need a repaint and I'll have 
to do something about her bumper to get rid of that mouth.

More Dollar General Buys

A couple of more pics with the cars I got last time. The porsche looks better with Bruce Wayne.



 So here are three more cars I got ($2.75 each).


These cars were screwed down.


Mini Cooper Convertible.



2006 Chevrolet Corvette



2006 Dodge Challenger

Some vehicles from Dollar General

I stopped by the Dollar General before work the other day and picked up a few vehicles.

First up are some motocycles ($1 each).


The size looks pretty good. They are little wide, but not bad. I think the blue one would make a good police cycle. Now I just have to find a Ponch miniature.



Next up are a couple of cars. One is a porsche and the other is a minicooper (I think they were $2.75 each).


The minicooper looks good.


I had thought the porsche looked a little small initially. I compare it to some other miniatures later and it didn't look too bad.



 Last up is a tank ($3).

I think it fits pretty good.



When I removed the tank from the box I found these two tabs holding it down (I had to turn them to pop them off). I think I might use them for flying bases for spaceships I have been painting.
