(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.

(If you think about it, The Red Funnel is like a Santa Hat)

Super

Wow...he looks to be in excellent condition PJ ðŸ˜ƒ

PJ100001

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

Well I promised it, and here it is!

Here is the Massive Christmas Haul! 13 Boxed items!!! (And a few used in NiB Condition)
Here we have -
BNiB:

Quarry Cars (Fisher-Price)
Douglas (HiT Toy Company)
Dodge (HiT Toy Company
Thomas (HiT Toy Company, It was like 10 Dollars!)
Terence (HiT Toy Company)
Sodor Crane Set (TOMY, OH MY GOD A TOMY ITEM FROM ME?? IT TRULY IS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!)
Duncan (HiT Toy Company, New Friends 2006 Version)
Hank (HiT Toy Company, Muddy you told me this was the hardest New Friends release to find BNiB, AND I GOT IT!)
Thomas' Egg Express (Fisher-Price)
Carnival Fun (HiT Toy Company)
Sodor Ice Cream Factory (HiT Toy Company, AJ this one's yours!)
Dieselworks Delivery (Fisher-Price, This one is the Rare Normal Box Version From I assume 2012)
Sodor Candy Co. (Fisher-Price)
---------------------------------------
Used (In BNiB Condition):
Peter Sam (HiT Toy Company)
Sir Handel (HiT Toy Company)
Duncan (HiT Toy Company, this one is extra satisfying because I got the freight cars and cargo too!)
A Blue Truck and the Freddie in "Ding-A-Ling" Flatbed (Both From the HiT Toy Company, I wanted this just for the Blue Truck but that flatbed is cool 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!

Super

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

PJ100001

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.

Super

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

PJ100001

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.

Super

AWESOME PJ...Straight A's

PJ100001

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.)

Super

Wow...well done PJ and you did a wonderful job with my Lions ðŸ‘

PJ100001

Thank You Super, the Lions did absolutely amazing this year and I hope they can finally get to and win a Super Bowl. I'd love to see it happen!

Hello BPT! As promised, I had a post that I'd eventually do after I had posted my NFL drawings. And the item that I have to post is one I've looked for for longer than Charlie in "Play Time", and now own it BNiB:

Brand New Flora from HiT Toys in 2008! (New Friends Release)

Price: $125.00
Shipping: $11.85
Total: $136.85

Location: Clover, South Carolina, USA

With this insane addition in the collection now, I have 4 New Friends releases NiB (Whiff, Proteus, Hank, & Flora) and now 79 boxed items. Tune in to see which one will be #80, and I will guarantee it will be a great one like Rheneas!

Super

Wow...she is beautiful!

PJ100001

Hey BPT, I haven't really posted in a bit, and it's really just because I've not really gotten any new things since Flora, but I do have some things to post, things like drawings, and just general collection progress I've noticed.

First, I have a drawing of another NFL team, and they fly to the road to victory:

The Philadelphia Eagles! The last NFC logo I'd do before moving on to the AFC. Personally, I think I did pretty good apart from a few inaccuracies.

Second, I have taken a picture of every Trucks and Track pack I own from both Fisher-Price and HiT Toys, I have 17 of 21 of the total amount produced by both companies:

I do know of the ones I'm missing, and they are:
HiT Toys:

Sodor Power Plant
Mixed Freight Cars
Carriages and Coaches
F-P:
Station Repair Cars
If there's anyone here who has even one of these NiB, let me know, I'd be happy to make a deal with you when I have the time and money to do so.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So there you have it, a general update of stuff I've been doing since I've been gone, and I have also achieved straight A's again. With pretty high grades this time! Wish me luck on my 4th term, this is the last one I gotta get through!

Super

You are such a talented artist PJ but I am curious...what are the wood pieces for at the top of the Eagles Logo?

PJ100001

BPT! We did it!! We have reached:
[size=xx-large][font=Impact]80 Boxed Items!!![/font][/size]
This is just insane to me that I've even reached THIS many items in the collection from TOMY/Plarail, HiT, and F-P.

It only took about 2 & 1/2 years, but here we are! It's crazy to me that I've even reached this point.

And the 80th boxed item that has reached the collection is...

TrackMaster Sir Handel from HiT Toys in 2007! (Toys R Us Version)

Price: $59.49
Shipping: $10.78
Total: $70.27

Location: Buford, Georgia, USA

Here it is! #80! And what makes this even more incredible is that this is actually the first Toys R Us exclusive item I have in the collection as of now. And Sir Handel is one of, if not my most desired Toys R Us maybe next to Rocky. And I just love this pack too much, the red coaches, Sir Handel just looking amazing with those impossible-to-keep-in-good-condition eyebrows, and just the fact that I basically found this for an actually fair price in 2024!

Well this will be it for now BPT, I can't wait to see what #81 will be! I just know it's gonna be exciting once I get it! Not as exciting as this though, but I'll just have to wait and see what it is. Stay tuned for it though! (and I promise that it won't take a whole month for it to come here this time lol)

Super

Wow, your collection has become massive PJ...well done ðŸ‘

PJ100001

It is quite big Super, and now only 20 items to go till the big 100! Until now, that is, because now we've got 19 to go!

Hello BPT! Well, what do you know? It didn't take a whole month to post again! And this time, I have another BNiB item to share today, and it's of a character I've never had boxed before, nor have I ever owned him in TrackMaster 1 before, until today!

And the NiB Character we have today is...

Harvey the Maroon Crane Engine from Fisher-Price in 2010!

Price: $38.95
Shipping: Free!
Total: $38.95

Location: Wausau, Wisconsin, USA

Well this is pretty crazy, I got $40 for my straight A's on my report card for the 3rd term, and this just so happened to pop up when I got the money, and I bought it immediately given it was in perfect condition and it was just that cheap for something pretty uncommon. And it's been a while since I've had an F-P item to share, let alone a BNiB one. And this time that drought has ended! I also will have another character to show in a few days, it's another 2010 item but its used in Brand New condition and it's a Greatest Moments pack I got when I was like 4, and that original model has been through the ringer so I said it was time for a new one.

Stay tuned for the reveal on Monday or Tuesday probably, this one was also quite inexpensive too, so that's another bonus. But you all will find out what it is!

Super

Congratulations on the straight 'A's PJ. Well done!

What I particularly like about this your new purchase is...............it doesn't have those awful holes in the wheels for packaging that Fisher Price insisted on doing. Much nicer packaging too using the clear rubber bands,

PJ100001

Indeed Super, I love the 2010 packaging that F-P did without those holes in the wheels, they're pretty annoying to look at tbh. I've always loved those clear rubber bands they did.

BPT, I've got some incredible items to show to you all, and the first of these is...

A Used in BNiB Condition TrackMaster Emily in "Splish, Splash, Splosh!" from F-P in 2010!

Price: $21.95
Shipping: $5.32
Total: $27.27

Location: Humble, Texas, USA

And the next item (BNiB):

TrackMaster Sir Handel in Charge from HiT Toys in 2007!

Price: $89.99
Shipping: $5.07
Total: $95.06

Location: Muskegon, Michigan, USA

So these are my two newest additions to the collection now, and these are two items I've been looking for for a bit now actually,

in Emily's case, I've actually owned that Emily variant since I was like 4 or 3, so basically since it released. And that has been put through hell and back by 10+ years of play. So now I decided that it was time for a new one, and there it is. As you can see, it has zero damage to it on all sides, and looks practically perfect in every way. With Sir Handel, I remember posting that find of that one BNiB Sir Handel in Charge here back in April when I was 14 and I had only spent a month on this incredible forum. And didn't realize that promoted it and I just raised the stakes against myself on accident. And my dad was outbid by ONE BRITISH POUND, so that was kinda annoying. Then, last month when Spring Break began, my mom was outbid by ONE DOLLAR this time! So close again! But finally, I found this one random day in English class and bought it with no hesitations. And here it is. NUMBER 82 OF 100! 18 MORE TO GO!!!
