All of this stuff looks great. I really like the Corgi Bond car. Fun to see the Mattel Spiderman car too.

you found some nice stuff there

thanks, it was a fun day and bit pricey but still fun. spent around 100.00 in gas driving around. the k&o motors I really like. I found those when i stopped to check out a old john boat a guy had for sale. I walked up to garage where the owner was working on a boat motor and asked some questions and did some chit chat. I asked him if he had any toys and he showed me the small boat motors he had been saving that he got from a boat dealer back in 1953. pretty sweet toys. they take 2 d cell batteries to run.

the corgi bond is sweet but I screwed myself kinda. the guy collected toys as well. this one just got the best of me. it was one of those I paid his price with hopes of getting to his toy stash down stairs and after I bought and paid for the car a good 10 people showed up at his garage sale and my wife and kids were wanting to leave. so i left my number. maybe he'll call but I will not hold my breath. 225.00 is what I gave up for a chance to shop his toy room but never got in it.

the hot wheels and some tootsie toy stuff my 5 year old found. he ran to a big toy area and he came back with 4 redlines. when i ask where he found them he showed me. they lady said 75 cents a car and we grabbed what we found in her hotwheels box. we went threw about 300 cars.

the donald and other tootsie cars came from a flower place. we stopped at a sale that my wife wanted to check out. she saw some flowers she liked and I found donald and the cars in a barn they were setting up for a sale for next weekend. these were the only toys they had

and the rest was just from random resale shops we stop in at along our travels today.

Good deals. You really do not find things like this by me anymore

I saw an Evil Knievel rocketcycle in there. So you know what I like. The haul in total is cool though.
