Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Good AMC day at the Toy Show locally...

All the die casts you could want are on e-bay from 1/18 to 1/64, I even got my 1/64 Gremlin today all the way from Holland. I have gotten two "Drag-on-Lady"s, three AMJX's and a super 53 vette. I am waiting on an AMX to come up now. Just be cautious and do not bid until you know how much you are willing to spend, getting into a biddig war is the pits. A lot of th Johnny Lightening gold cars and some "Bond"s also.

Hey Jerry great score on the AMC goodies so has anyone other than Jerry found that new gold Johnny Litening Javelin?and the JL Hornet i've only been able to find the American Glory version not the Bond or Monopoly version :( where ya finding all these goodies Jer?? Bart I noticed a small sign for a Toy show at a firehouse while out and about yesterday, so went back today to check it out. Wonderful! Lots of old and new stuff, I got a bagful of goodies. Got two magazines called " Toy Cars and Models " with a 2-page article on Gremlin toys and models, both plastic kits and diecasts. Bonus article on the Nash Metropolitan. I have an extra copy , it's a June 2003 edition, if anyone wants it for $5 plus shipping. Other articles include special Mopar issue articles, Lil Red Express truck, '49 Desoto station wagon ( on cover ), and Hotwheels spotlight on models, plus more. Other stuff I got at the show was a Javelin AMX slot car, #3, red/white/blue, for $30. Plenty of AMC slot cars, no Gremlins unfortunately, but Matadors, AMXs, and Javelins aplenty, but of course prices were , uh, pricey. I guess maybe not unreasonable. Saw a red Gen 1 AMX for $60, rare color I think. I didn't have the money to spend on that. Another find was one vendor had a bucket of old hotwheels in bags, and I saw at LEAST 20 Warpaths, the AMX II car, but he was HIGH, most started at $20, and went up to $60 ( yikes! ). I didn't buy any from him, needless to say. They were all in at least 7 condition or better, so they weren't beaters, but still. Whew! I bought 3 beaters for $1 each, a HW motorcycle called Chop Suey, a Ford Ranchero? type vehicle, and an airport shuttle truck for my HO train airport layout module. I rounded out my purchases with some train stuff, an HO trolley and some N gauge rolling stock and miniature autos, too. I think I probably spent close to $80 total, but it was a good haul. I then went to Target on the way home, and found a '69 Javelin. That was it, headed home to watch Dale Jr. win the Atlanta race. A pretty good weekend, toy-wise.
