Thats what happens when we have gilly lids to distract us or they make so much noise that we put our heads in the sand:D

It's more the 12 - 13 hour working day & a lack of advertising, but hey, I heard it here! Thanks, Odin.:)

[singer]

I have to take my (7 y o) son to spend his (my) hard earned money. I'm just going for a look:p :D

[Esses]

My boys have discovered the power of pocket money. They'll probably have more $ than me!:D

[Odin]

I should be there around 10, ill be the one buying up all the holden models :) if I can find the ones im after at a good price :D

[ferrari fan]

The Holdens are the discounted ones (modern) there ain't no cheap FORD, as they demand serious $$ cause they are First On Race Day.
What is the best play of words on HOLDEN ,by the way?

There must be a better one arround that puts it in amore favourable light.

FF,

They're just Hold in on to the V8 at the moment:D

Well I have to say I was dissapointed. I found one bargain I thought too good to pass up, 1:18 VX Sirromet CC for 65$. Also bought a 1:18 trailer for 20$, an accessories kit for 25$ and the issue of diecastdownunder I was missing.

Other prices were a joke. 190$ for a green gts coupe, or 250$ for a 2003 djr car, 200 to 245 for an 03 historic car, Most of the cars I could find a lot cheaper on ebay. Most of the stuff for sale was rrp or above, only a few below rrp.

[lachlan]

I agree odin,
I got a 1:18 Larkham 2002 for $65, most likely from the same guy.
Other wise it wasnt that great, but it was good to see some different dealers from around the place with different models.

[Esses]

Depends what you're looking for. We were only there from the 1/43 point of view & there was plenty of variety & lots of bargains. There was even an early CC JB DJR #1 EF Falcon for $15-00, but that model is such an atrocious job that I couldn't even pay that much for it.:D Otherwise, I could've spent several hundred $ there. Good to see more train (old & new) stands there, too.

[singer]

My son had a ball. He got as he savys "several bargains" He went for quantity & got himself several Hotwheels, a lot of lego signs, 1 mb Falcon & a truck.

So from his point of view it was well worth going.

As for me, I renewed several acquaintances.:)

[Esses]

Yeah, all 3 of mine loved it. Hey, to them they're toys, except maybe 6yo Jamie as he reckons that his puchase (a Maisto Speedway Sprint-Car for $5-00) is the start of his "real" collection. Wait until Xmas when he unwraps his 1/18 Skaife-Car! Can't wait to see his face.:D

Couldn't believe that my old Matchbox "Mini Ha-Ha" was there for $16-00!
