New Stuff! - Super - 06-04-2014

Received these two packs from a USA seller on Ebay. We like the Tomica/Matchbox/Hotwheels cars and trucks and can never have too many. We also didn't have any of these Plakids in or massive collection.

Policeman with mustache & sunglasses
Construction worker with overalls & Googles
Medical worker
And Abe Lincoln because we wanted to be like Gerisplarail1 Big Grin

Like Gerisplarail, we also received a big box of stuff from Japan yesterday. Whole bunch of uninteresting odds and ends and this 4 unit Tomy Storage Garage. I have to tell you that I was quite surprised as I thought these things would not weigh much more that a large plastic storage box...Was I wrong. So wrong as to question Japamart when they sent me the bill for shipping. It was very high and they had made a 10 pound mistake before when they included someone elses huge purchase with mine. They completely reimbursed me for that mistake and paid for the return shipping which was quite a lot. They lost money on that deal. These units are made of sturdy, heavy duty plastic and the whole 4 drawer unit, by itself, weighs in at 11.5 pounds...wow. Great construction though and should last a long time. So be forewarned if you are looking into these.

Fantastic and you got the one with the beard!

RE: New Stuff! - Gerisplarail1 - 06-05-2014

I always wanted those yellow storage/garages but I knew about the weight issue. really insane about the 10 pound weight issue that is quite a big mistake for Jauce to make! At least it is all fixed, and glad to see you have Abe in your Plakid family!

I was one of those large monorail sets with the big train engine station like Sunhuntin bought plus it had additional items inside. I was tempted to tell them (Japamart not Jauce) if they want to cut their losses to just refund their buyer and I would keep the item and pay for the shipping but didn't. As it was, they refunded me my overpayment on shipping $125 then paid me another $125 to ship the item back to them. So thats a $250 loss for them.

Yes, I was surprised to see a set with the Abe in it available here in the States so I was happy to grab both these from the same seller.

awesome Tomica car's Didn't even know they made them

RE: New Stuff! - Super - 06-05-2014

I think these cars are part of the Hypercity line. They are quite detailed. The inside of the ambulance is amazing with paramedics cabinets, a patient bed, chair and the opening hatch back rear door, they really do a nice job.

Nice tomica cars, good like the engines !

RE: New Stuff! - Gerisplarail1 - 06-05-2014

Wow Super yeah they would have been better off just having you keep the set they sent by mistake! The cars are Hypercity my brother bought me all 5 of these vehicle plakid 2 packs he found them for sale at a gas station in Rosendale, Wisconsin for less than they were going for on eBay at the time. Sorry Sunhuntin not trying to get anyone to spend their hard earned money I do not wish debt on anyone, plus as I have to tone it down on spending it will give you time to catch up haha.
