New Find

« on: January 04, 2005, 09:54:15 PM »
I found a (what I believe to be) a new find today at Wally World.

Matchbox has a 5 pack out under a Nick Jr title. It has a concept VW bus in it and also a split window panel bus. :D  I've never seen this pack before so I guess it's new.

I was excited today! I stopped in at a Hobby Store in East Ridge and the guy had several HO scale Volkswagens. They are the kind used on HO scale train set layouts. They are made of plastic. I got two Ghia's, one panel bus and one convertible beetle with a tear drop pull-behind camper. Maybe I should get into trains again and make all the cars in the layout Volkswagens :D

I got two of the single ones, but haven't splurged for the one that is in the set yet.

Matchbox also has an Easter tube out.  I saw it in Bi-lo yesterday.  It has a split panel van in it with a bunny painted on the sides of it.

I'll keep an eye out for those at my local Bi-Lo.  They had an Easter set out a couple of years ago that had a new Beetle in it and the tube made a bank after you removed the cars.  After Easter they had them on sale for 50% or 60% off.  I bought all of them they had left.  I bet if I had ask for it, I could have gotten the big cardboard display they were in too . . . but I didn't think about it til later.
