Yes, I know I said in the "Admin please look into this" thread that I would post the rest of my expansive collection (that I gathered in only 1 year!). But I...

Super

And once again....no holes in the wheels...hurray ðŸ˜ƒ

PJ100001

Hey BPT, don't exactly have anything new regarding collection additions or even any NFL logo drawings, but I do have some eye candy here:

Yes, I do own both of the Scottish Twins, with one having a lot more value I'd say.

(Btw, Donald is TOMY and Douglas is HiT Toys)

My birthday is coming up though, so expect to see some cool stuff there! And btw, my birthday is on the 23rd of June.

Super

ðŸ‘

Hey BPT! I got a (sort of) new drawing for you all!

The OG St. Louis Rams Wordmark! I'll be honest, even though I'm a fan of Da Bears (Sorry Super, Lions are just as awesome if not better tbh), this has been my favorite team recently and really idk why, I'd say it's really the graphic design given I'm an artsy guy and I play with fonts a LOT. And this just seemed to be the perfect Wordmark to start with once I get into doing all of them. Miss this team way too much, but hey, I dig the LA Rams with their incredible roster. But I hate that logo and wordmark, they suck tbh.

I think Super got offended (no offense) lol

I can't believe this BPT, but I finally have a NEW ACQUISITION FOR THIS MONTH! And it is a rare one to find used in a perfect condition, and I found it!!

The mystery character is:

TrackMaster Whiff from Fisher-Price in 2010!

Price: $14.99
Shipping: $4.50
Total: $19.49

Location: Maryland Heights, Missouri, USA (MD Heights btw is in STL!)

So Whiff as I remember Muddy saying was one of the hardest engines to get in a perfect used condition along with Billy and Victor, and I got all three now! I just now have to look for them BNiB, Whiff I've already got in that condition, so a search for Billy and Victor (at the Steamworks) will now have to commence I guess.

But next month is a very special time because...IT'LL BE MY BIRTHDAY! Expect a LOT of cool stuff there! I would say mostly NFL stuff since I'm a HUGE football guy as you all see, but there will be some TrackMaster and maybe even TOMY OMG A TOMY ITEM FROM ME?? That never happens! Stay tuned for what I'll be getting BPT! Who knows, I could even HiT 90 Boxed items by the end of my birthday! That'll certainly be something!

(If no one's really seen it yet, here is what I acquired last year for my birthday):

Super

I have always liked the look of Whiff's face with those glasses.

Destination Realization

Same here!

PJ100001

Well it took a little bit, but hey BPT! Here's the Birthday Items (Spoilers: There's no Birthday Celebration pack here btw)!

Quite the haul I'd say, and this puts me at [size=large][font=Impact]89[/font][/size] boxed items for now...
...except for the fact that I am actually expecting ANOTHER ITEM PUTTING THE TOTAL AT [size=x-large][font=Impact]90!!![/font][/size]

tune in to see who or what the BNiB item will be when it arrives! Hint: it's a HiT Toys Big Friends Release from 2006.

(I did also get some other cool stuff, mostly NFL merch like a Chicago Bears T-Shirt, a St. Louis Rams 16 oz. Tumbler Cup, and a real no. 39 Steven Jackson jersey from 2004-07.)

Super

Wow...that IS quite a haul PJ ðŸ˜ƒ

PJ100001

That was quite a haul Super, and that is the first 2009 HiT Toys Big Friends release I have BNiB, besides the only other one that I have being that 2008 HiT Toys Douglas BNiB.

BPT, Now it's getting real. as. heck.

I am at, my [size=xx-large][font=Impact]90th [/font][/size]Boxed item! And I actually think it might just be a factory error but idk. Anyways, here it is!

TrackMaster Neville From HiT Toys in 2006!

Price: $36.54
Shipping: $10.54
Total: $47.08

Location: Buford, Georgia, USA

Quite the item I've got here today for you all, and the main factors I think that contribute to it being a factory error are these:
Exhibit #1: Neville Himself -

If you look closely at those rubber tires, you can clearly see they're TOMY's rubber tires, meaning that somehow HiT Toys snuck in this specific model of Neville into the packaging somehow, but really I believe the reason its like this is because of its year.

2006 was the year Neville, as well as Hit Toys as a whole, was constructing these models. And when TOMY retired from making and boxing these, I guess there must've been some leftover stock still left to be packaged, so HiT was like, "we'll just put these ancient models in our Brand New boxes, nobody'll notice!" Well tough luck HiT, I noticed and it only took me being born and 2 & a half years of collecting this stuff New and Used (I began doing this collect-a-thon November 2nd, 2021) but this is quite common in most HiT Toys packaging boxes so I'll let it slide, but I'd just thought I'd bring it up.

Exhibit #2: That Side Rod -

So based on the way HiT packaged him, you can see his side rode basically bulging out on the axle, like it's trying to get onto it, but because of the wheels (which are the same as Dennis' because both were built by Oliver Bulleid) and the little twisty-tie holding Neville and his tender down to the track.

Found that part to be slightly annoying, but I think theoretically because it's a semi-factory error with the model + the ACTUAL factory error with the side rod, this could be worth WAY MORE than simply $50, more like $200-$220 IMO, I know value of it isn't important rn, but I was thinking to myself just how rare this combination of year, model, and error actually is. But what do you all think? Is this really an error? or am I overthinking it? Let me know.

(Btw I have another thing coming that Imma start a whole new thread for once I obtain him, and I predict it will conjure up a lotta gossip on the many ways of packaging and models he's gone through, Hint: it's a Day of the Diesels model)

Super

ðŸ‘ I actually like those twisty ties holding him to the tracks in the packaging as it means its before they started stupidly (imo) drilling holes in the wheels for the sole purpose of using plastic rods of holding a train in its packaging. He looks fantastic PJ ðŸ˜ƒ

Destination Realization

HiT: that was a mistake🙁
Mattel: I DONT CARE!!! 🙂
Drilling holes in wheels is/was really bad imo
Anyways!! Congrats PJ!

PJ100001

Thank you D-Real, it is quite the accomplishment for someone at only 16 years old without a job yet. And yeah, I was always bothered by those freaking holes in the wheels just to hold the engine in the packaging. JUST USE THE CLEAR RUBBER BANDS FOR THAT LIKE YOU DID IN 2010-11 OMG!!!

Hey BPT! Got a rare addition here today, and it is...

TrackMaster Den at the Dieselworks From Fisher-Price in 2011!

Price: $34.99
Shipping: $4.38
Total: $39.37

Location: Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA

So this is the version of Den with the pre-painted orange side rods, and honestly they look SO much better than the normal black side rod Den variant, but it is really strange how he was released, which I promised to make a thread about it and I'll get to that eventually when I have the time. Still have yet to find his rolling stock being that red boxcar and blue flatbed, but since this is the version with no holes in the wheels, I gotta find them exactly like that.

Well this will be it for now, and the next post will be of a piece of rolling stock I have ABSOLUTELY ZER0 CLUE about it's origin, and where it comes from. But you all will have to see what it is eventually once it comes. Tune in to see what it'll be!

And I will say this piece of rolling stock is a re-color of a piece of rolling stock from a Fisher-Price 3-pack, could or could not be a Greatest Moments pack!

Super

One of my favorite defaced train ðŸ˜

Hey BPT! We've got a Double Item Post for today! I believe I've got some extremely rare things to show today, so here I go!

Item #1 is Used, but I genuinely have NO idea where this actually comes from, like seriously, I tried finding an image of it on Google, or really ANYWHERE else, and found nothing, but here's the item:

A TrackMaster Neon Green Egg Dye Tanker with Orange Egg Dye From Fisher-Price in I Believe 2012-2014!

Price: $10.99
Shipping: $4.38
Total: $15.37

Location: Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA

If anyone has any information on this item at all, even just a slight sliver of it, I would be very happy because I seriously have ZERO clue where this actually originates from. Like, was it released in a set? A Big Friends release? When? Where? Or How? What's the Origin?

Item #2 is BNiB, and the last time I saw this appear on eBay it was in August of 2022! Almost a whole 2-year absence for this item, crazy!

TrackMaster Build a Signal From Fisher-Price in 2012!

Price: $64.95
Shipping: $12.00
Total: $76.95

Location: Mentor, Ohio, USA

Soon as I saw this I knew I had to buy it given I regretted not getting it back in August of 2022, when there was one on a $10 bid for it BNiB! Agh! Well glad I have it now, and this now marks 91 BOXED ITEMS, 9 TO GO!!!!!!!!!

(Well actually, 8 to go, I have another BNiB item coming in like 2 days, and it is indeed a Stupid Rare item that would've cost normally I'd say around $100=120, and I got it for LESS THAN $25, but you will all have to wait and see when it comes.)

Super

That Egg Dye Tanker may be rare PJ. Check out this Thread where I tried to get one a while ago.... https://www.blueplastictracks.org/thread-4650.html?highlight=egg+dye+tanker
Within that Thread you will find a Link from T-Raw back to a Thread where GGF brings this up briefly which inspired me to go after it.

Please show us more once the Tanker arrives.

PJ100001

Hey BPT, so I do have another item coming tomorrow, but in the meantime I have some more NFL drawings I did:

Here's 7 more teams' logos I've drawn beginning again since June 29th. Which one is your guys' favorite?
(Btw the thing that I'm gonna get is another Fisher-Price Big Friends release, and it's from 2012)

Super

Looking good PJ. Have you done every team yet?

PJ100001

Not just yet, got like 21 teams to go until I'm done Super.

Hello BPT! Finally!! The 92nd BNiB acquisition is here! And it is...

TrackMaster Big Friends Ferdinand From Fisher-Price in 2012!

Price: $38.00 (-$25 From a Gift Card Making it $23.00)
Shipping: $6.75
Total: $29.75 ($44.75 Without Gift Card)

Location: Atlantic Mine, Michigan, USA

So this was quite a lucky find I've got here today, and honestly I was thinking of trying to find a HiT Toys item next, and honestly Idk what one to go for but I'll find something. And that'll become number 93!!! But for now, I've got 8 more to go until that sweet 100!

(I'm thinking it'll probably be a Toys R Us box or something like that. Maybe a GM Pack, IDK)
