My Newest Arrival!

[Super]

Ans we are thankful that you are with us sharing your growing collection. Happy Holidays PJ

(Alright I promise this will be the last post before the Christmas Haul idk I am just so dang lucky with these eBay finds it's actually pissing me off lol)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello BPT! As mentioned in the note above, this will for real be the last post I make before the Christmas Haul of 2023. And the item I've acquired today is...
-----------------------

TrackMaster Thomas in "Slippy Sodor" From Fisher-Price in 2010!
-----------------------
Price: $19.97
Shipping: Free!
Total: $19.97 (+ $1.20 for the tax so it would've been $20.17)
Location: Kingman, Arizona, USA
---------------------------------------
So this was an item I've been looking for since about last July, when I saw one BNiB for $34.99, but didn't buy it because I didn't realize how rare it was. Man that was a mistake, instead I did acquire the Farm & Dairy Cars BNiB for about $39.99. So that wasn't wasted I guess. But that Trucks and Track Pack is a lot easier to find than Thomas in "Slippy Sodor" (A Greatest Moments Pack released the same year). But this listing is weird because the basis of this Thomas isn't a Fisher-Price basis, it's a HiT toy company basis instead. I guess the seller just couldn't find the OG basis or they were just lazy, idk.

Wow...he looks to be in excellent condition PJ 😃

He definitely is Super, on all sides, even the lamp sticker at the back is perfect too!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also got a lot of other things like shirts, some have world flags on them because I am a geography expert myself. And I got a Beatles Yellow Submarine shirt too. Along with a Maryland Flag shirt because I live in Maryland. And a world flag book too, I do like to study flags a lot too. Plus some John Lennon glasses!
(And P.S., I'm growing a bit of a beard now at the old age of 15, so I got shaving cream along with a razer)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So that is it! That is what I've managed to Haul this Christmas season! There will definitely be more to collect next year, but for now, I am enjoying the absolute S*** out of what I got! Merry Christmas BPT! Keep On Puffing, Collecting, and Customizing like the amazing people you all are!

Quite the Xmas haul PJ. You must have been on Santa's 'Nice' list.

I guess so Super, I do think that this haul offered many rare things like an NiB Hank, which I believe Muddy told me that he was the hardest New Friends release to find NiB, so that's cool that I have him in what I'd like to call the "funny box", basically the package has the blister from the Target packaging, and the actual cardboard on the inside that has "Hank" written on it is the New Friends cardboard, and I just find it funny how bad the two look together because the label that says "Motorized" on it is like bent inward because of the wrong usage of blister, and to me, I just think it's funny that this version was also mass-produced, hence the name "funny box".

Hello BPT! Happy 2024 to you all! To start out this New Year, I've got a Super Rare BNiB item from HiT Toys that I got from a listing of all 11 HiT Toys Trucks and Track packs (And that listing belongs to AJ btw):
----------------------------------------------------

BNiB Toad and Trucks from HiT Toys! (This is the 2009 version btw)
----------------------------------------------------
Price: $119.99
Shipping: $5.17
Total: $125.16 ($132.36 w/tax)
Location: Broomfield, Colorado, USA
--------------------------------------------
So Toad and Trucks in my opinion I think is the hardest Trucks and Track to find BNiB from the first edition of the Trucks and Track line (that first edition comprises of the Sodor Power Plant, Mixed Freight Cars, S.C. Ruffey & Trucks, and Toad & Trucks). And the fact that it is the 2009 version I'd say makes it even rarer in that regard. The original 2006 packaging I'd say is only a bit easier to come across than the 2009 packaging, but nevertheless, it still is a VHTF Trucks and Track Pack to get nowadays.

Always loved that wooden, green, boxcar from that set.

It's a pretty detailed boxcar for sure, not Many people give it enough love in my opinion. And I agree Super, it looks wonderful alongside the amazing 3D Toad model and Mail Car with the slide open doors.
------------------------------------------------
Been a while, hasn't it BPT? About a little less than a whole month actually. But in that time, I got 2 new things! And listed some stuff on eBay if you wanna check it out! I'll leave a link at the end of this post.

The two new things I got were:

A Complete and Used TrackMaster Charlie in "Play Time" From 2010 by Fisher-Price!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Price: $31.45
Shipping: $5.35
Total: $34.80
Location: I pieced together this pack from 3 different listings and states, so here's where each came from (the price and shipping are combined from the prices of the listings btw): Charlie - Fulton, Arkansas, USA; The Blue Carpet Car - San Antonio, Texas, USA; The Ice Cream Car - Eudora, Kansas, USA.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And...

A BNiB Big Friends Diesel 10 From 2012 by Fisher Price!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Price: $29.99
Shipping: $6.14
Total: $36.13
Location: Cleveland, Ohio, USA
--------------------------------------
So yeah, remember in August that I had said I basically spent time from November 2022 until that post I was trying to get a Charlie in "Play Time" New in Box? Well now I have Thr33 of them, two new, one in Used but basically new condition, time really does carry some crazy opportunities, doesn't it? As for Diesel 10, I got straight A's on my report card and got $30 for it and I used it to buy this Diesel 10 because it was cheap and I know a legit Big Friends Diesel 10 from F-P is quite rare. and this is the version with the New, unintimidating CGI face rather than the iconic scary D10 face.

AWESOME PJ...Straight A's

I guess this is sort of my main thread for really just posting stuff now but I just quickly wanted to make a post of my own art I've done:

Here are some of my favorite NFL logos I've drawn just from free-handing them (basically looking at a reference image of the logo and just drawing it).
I don't have any insane finds to post rn, but I do have some insane drawings to post right here. I am a giant football fan, have been since I was born in '08, when the St. Louis Rams were still a thing and the Raiders were still in Oakland, along with many other teams such as them being in different places and going by different names (ex. the Chargers still being in San Diego and the Commanders being the Washington Redskins).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon enough I think I will have something new to post, but idk for sure yet. As Fleetwood Mac would say, "it'll soon be here".
(Thanks for the comment Super, I might be able to pull off straight A's again this term. So far it's going basically perfect and I've got really high grades that I've been keeping up, 98% or higher in almost all my classes.)
