Just landed 2 Fargo's and 3 Dodges..... ok, ok toys

Post by wally426ci »

I couldnt pass up. A coworker turned me onto this Toy collector store and I knew there had to be some Sweptlines in there.... I was really hoping for the Eldon track racer or the coveted ride on 76 truck but no dice.

I did however grab 2 Corgi Fargos with Right hand drive. The white one looks new. Then i grabbed the horse hauler and the dump truck. I grabbed the tow truck, and realized that I had or still have one from being a kid. It took actually holding it to realize.

Here is a crappy cell phone picture.

This all cost me $55, 1 Zippies sidewalk surfer skateboard with metal wheels and 2 super nintendo games.... :joker

I'm hoping Bill (soop) checks in here. I know he is up on the Corgis when they come up on eBay and hoping he agrees that it was a good deal!! I know I am psyched!

Wife can't figure out why I brought toys home that the kids can't play with,....... :thinking

I check in everywhere. I'm not really up on them but I search ebay regularly and see certain ones pop up and others that almost never pop up, like the one with the horse trailer. I'm just looking for trucks and parts and these are thrown in the mix.

No... the TOW TRUCK is a Matchbox Truck. No. 13
and yes, I still have mine from when I was a kid. Looks brand new, but I threw the boxes away to ALL of my Matchbox cars. :banghead

Nope... I have only seen the yellow "cab" one. Who knows... maybe those were a "British" release or something like that?

looks like the ones with the gray hook are early additions and are rarer ...
