big loader store display. UPDATED BIG BIG LOADER

[Super]

After watching the video above and checking out the videos related on the same screen, I have removed the option for the Global Shipping Program from all my sales. I had no idea that they sometimes open and re-package terribly. I take pride in my shipping and go an extra mile for International packages and I would hate to have a rare, vintage item damaged like many of the horror stories I viewed by their not caring how they re-pack...what a shame.

i wouldnt be surprised if your intl shipping cost comes out lower, too.

the store display has finally left erlanger and is on its way home. only a bit more worry and paranoia over the treatment to go. actually dreamed about it the other night, and the bubble was destroyed. ick.

its landed in nz, finally. due to the estimated size of the parcel, and having no license to drive a car, i have added delivery instructions for them to leave it if im at work when it comes. no way do i want to wrangle that on the motorbike.

Won't be long now,

and having no license to drive a car, no way do i want to wrangle that on the motorbike.

Your NZ rules are quite different than here in the States, at least in the State I live in. You can't operate a Motorcycle here unless you have an Automobile License and even then you have to have a special Endorsement on that license to operate a Motorcycle on the Roadways.

heres hoping!!

really? i didnt know that! here, you need a car license in order to have endorsements to drive trucks over a certain size, and each size up needs a higher endorsement, to my knowledge.
a motorbike license is a class of its own. you can ride a 50cc moped on a learners car license, which is crazy. they are some of the most insane people i know, usually high school teens buzzing around causing mayhem.
each stage of license [learners, restricted and full], the license you are given is a different color. if i learn to drive a car, my license would be replaced with one the learners color. if i never progressed to full, it would stay that color.

ITS HERE! a month after buying it, it arrived safe and sound. the lid isnt in the greatest shape, but given i had nightmares of it arriving smashed, im happy. lol.

it didnt come with the trucks, chassis or rocks, so all are replacements, though the styles are correct for this set.
it gets stuck when dumping the rocks at the top of the spiral for some reason. might need to make a small mod some how to make it smoother.
its also bad for dropping the rocks, which are near impossible to find on the base, so rainbow rocks it is!

That is so cool. How many of these store displays do you now have Sun?

thanks, super. just the two. i have seen 2 different versions of the small set, but all beyond my price range. i would like to add more, but money and space are both issues. they are quite large, and cant be easily packed away safely. i need to clear off the top of my wardrobe to fit this new one alongside the small one.

this one would have been the first, if memory and guesswork serves. its the same style as my childhood one.


and the thomas one. i havent seen any thomas displays of the other two sets, but that doesnt mean they arent out there.

Do you use a clear plastic polish for those domes as they look so nice.

ive not actually cleaned them yet, but need to try and polish the new one as its scratched and has tape residue. will have to hit up the hardware store and see whats best.
