Siku VW Crewcab in Not So Common Green






Another awesome Ebay find from Greece. This time a Siku VW Crewcab in green. This ran me a well spent $16 shipped. Not cheap but a good price for a near mint example in this color. Hope you like it as well.






Cheers,

Grell HighSpeed 'Braugold' Biertruck Collection Growing


I am not quite sure how I fell into collecting these but I enjoyed drinking this beer brand the last few times we stayed in Germany on vacation where we usually rent out a house versus getting a hotel. Renting is far cheaper than hotels and it allows you to 'live' in the country you are visiting. So I usually stock up on some biers for the refrigerator and select various brands from stores like Edeka, Real, Rewe etc.













Now these next two are not 'Braugold, but 'Kulmbacher' but see how cool they are and I had to have them:)



So these all are fairly cheap on eBay where I paid no more than $6 per truck. So I hope you enjoy them and maybe you can do the same. If you are interested in the seller, let me know and I will share his eBay store with you.

Cheers,
Jeff

New Siku VW Bus Arrivals



Finally found these I could afford for $20 each which is a pretty good price for these older Siku...these replace ones I had as a child that were lost decades ago. Hope you like them.




Thrilled to have them:)

Mercedes-Benz 5-Car Set from UCC Good Coffee Smile

This set in a word is simply AWESOME! So glad I bit the bullet and ordered this set from Japan Booster. It was around $27 shipped from Japan. The cars are every bit as nice as other quality 1:64 titans such as Oversteer, Minichamps and Kyosho with the one exception of these having no interior. But, this really does not bother me too much. I'd be lucky to pickup one Kyosho Mercedes for the price I paid for these five.

I passed on the Japanese release with Nissan Skylines as I have many Tomicas that keep me satisfied but I just could not resist these gems. So, on to the individual pics:

MB 300Sl #417 Milemiglia




MB 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II




MB CLK DTM AMG

Badass!



MB AMG GT

So Nice..

Do I miss the interior?

Ahh...nope!

MB SLS AMG




So there you have it...if UCC brings out more German, Swedish, American etc releases, I will be keen to add them to my collection.

Cheers,
Jeff
