The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[Yoshisaur]

In transit for a month and next a month at customs.... but finally arrived; Sand Scorcher front and rear guards:

In an another thread I said one of my goals was to stop buying from Buyee. Well, that one I failed. But in my defence, you can't say no to a 20% off coupon when buying from Mercari at toys & hobbies section! So, these are from that sale. Alex Racing vintage chassis (not a single clue what model), NIB Yokomo GT300 and a lightly run Yokomo MR-4TC Mini. The mini came with this mysterious VHS tap. I wonder what it contains.

Don't you worry. It is a large boat with plenty of room for us and our toys. Oh no! A wild 10% off Yahoo Japan coupon appeared. We have to get a bigger boat!

This arrived on Friday morning about half an hour before I had to head off for the weekend to visit the girlfriends family.... Pure torture

This was a bit of shot in the dark on Yahoo Auctions, so I wasn't totally clear on the contents.

Inside, a jumble of treasure, including a Sand Scorcher

 

And below that a Porsche 935 Chassis, among other things

Took a while but finally pulled the trigger on these for the 959.

What's the tiny model on top of the fire dragon box, they look very similar to two models I had as child back in the 80’s, I loved them more than life itself, and the sonic fighter that replaced them in 1988 ish!

I'd love to find some again but no idea what they are or even who makes them, the 80's where a long time ago!!

That's a 1/32 Boomerang Jr., Mini 4WD from 1986. I never had any as a kid, but now I have over 60 of these little gems!

Stumbled across it, really. But now it means I have every color Group C chassis, which is a silly reason to buy it . . . but here I am

Some parts for the "Rough Rider on DT-02 chassis" project turned up:

And the rear damper mount bar for the BBX! I had first seen this on the week-end and immediately ordered it.

Just looked up the alu damper bar, not in stock in the UK yet it seems, but looks like it'll be £28! Jeez.

It was €19 at Tamico. Not cheap!

yeah, but that still about 60% of the UK price!

The other day I said I needed to save money before I could buy a new rc kit like the GF02. But it's Saint Nicholas Day and obviously Nicholas doesn't consider a small Suzuki truck as a regular rc kit. The British Nicholas was of the same opinion and sent me a letter with the matching stickers. 🙂

A nice brushless/ESC combo I hope to use on a TNX chassis at some point.

And came accross an extra Duke Nukem figure,  can't have enough of those.

This little box arrived today:

And no, it's not going to be a drift car. Remember those Fiat 131 bodies I got?

[Lone-Wolf]

Finally got the MF-01x Fiat 131 body set to put on my Jimny

You guys really need to stop showing me these great deals you are getting on Yahoo Auctions and Buyee. I am afflicted with a very low level of self control and this is just forcing me to go and look at what I really don't need to buy but yet must have!!!

Aaah, it's just crusty ol' stuff nobody wants, you know. Better spend the money on something serious, like chocolate.
