Some Tomy For A Change :)

I like the Stephenson "Cars" character, don't get me wrong, but there is something delightfully charming about that little tram car that just has me so giddy.

I'm thinking it's perhaps the color scheme, or the fact that one of the Christmas ornaments from my childhood was in fact a bright red trolley like this one appears to be.
I just can't look away from the lil' thing!

I know exactly what you mean, when I first saw it I thought I've just got to have that, even if it was only a stationery display item as it just looks so cool. I think its partly the colour scheme, partly the detail which makes it look very realistic, partly the old world charm - in fact I think it looks as though it belongs in one of the Disneylands somewhere

Nice score Nigel. I had was initially looking for a few of the Blue translucent cars but then ended up finding the clear ones. They are still very cool though.

Is the Cars train rare? I have seen a few on eBay but they are always $100+.

To be honest when I saw the translucent cars I was thinking of your Nemo theme, but they are just cool full stop Very nice and in new condition also which is nice.

I'm not sure if the Stephenson is rare, I've only ever seen it on the Jauce auctions and even then only occasionally, so when I saw one at a good price I decided to go for it even if used
