A Few Goodies Arrived Today.

This makes the 24th Plarail Garage Storage Case I have with another on its way. I just love these and think they are the perfect way to store trains for now and for long term storage. Can't have enough. 🙂

I blame Bollard for me having to buy the Limited Edition Red Express Series 485 Nichirin. If it weren't for him starting that Thread about the Tomy Express https://www.blueplastictracks.com/showthread.php?tid=2575 I would never have seen this beauty and I had to have it. Everything is finely detailed and except for the little square on the front which has a small sticker in it everything is embossed and/or printed.....Thanks Bollard 😉

I already have 4 two drawer Tomica Parking Garages which, like the Plarail Train Garage above, make excellent storage for now and the future for all our Tomica, Hotwheels, Matchbox cars but I needed some more. I could have bought 4 more of the 2 drawer ones for less than I paid for these two Limited Edition, Toys R Us Exclusive 3 drawer units but I just had to have those Limited Toys R Us delivery trucks exclusive to these sets. It wasn't until I was going to post the pictures that I noticed something strange about them. Did you see it?...............................................When editing the pictures I saw what I immediately thought was somebody using a permanent black marker on one side of a truck and wondered if I got taken buying a used set when I paid for new. Upon closer inspection, both trucks had the same black on one side only and I then though them to be factory defects until I studied the box where it clearly showed different sides of the truck. Looking closer you can see that the door has an embossed area where the black is thats not on the other side. According to what its says on the chassis, this is a Condor Truck. Do they have different sides in real life...I wonder?

Wow...I talk too much...
