The End...of the End of the Line

Arrived today, mostly these are for Customs ideas except .... I was fooled by the color photography of the 20 blue risers, in the Listing they looked to be exactly the shade of the Tomy Blue track but in reality they are darker. Might just sell them, haven't made up my mind.

Now for the B-20...just like being in the right place at the right time for the Thomas & Friends Round and Round Bridge set, I was watching the Japan Listings when right before my eyes this B-20 popped up as a new Listing for a Buy It Now of.....................wait for it...................1000yen. Needless to say that even though I have had several of these I couldn't pass this up and grabbed it quickly. I am not so sure it could have been as quickly as the Listing shows, 6 seconds, (see picture below) but it was fast. Now if I could only have this type of luck in the Lottery. Dodgy

That’s actually very nice haul.

And a B20 for ¥1000?
HOOOO-LEEE COOOW!

I know, isn't that insane. The seller must not have had an idea of what they had. At the very least it should have been an Auction to see what it would go up to rather than a BIN.

I always imagine a scenario where a parent, relative or spouse.... Oh, who the heck am I kidding? I mean some guy’s girlfriend, wife, mom, sister, aunt, etc decides to “clear out all these old toys”. It’s priced to sell and just get it out the door.

I can't wait either LOL. I pretty much have accumulated all the necessary parts and components I need for all the ideas in my head and I am trying to control my overwhelming urge to start working some. You see I am staring at three customs on my desk here now. One is 90% done and has been sitting like this for over a month. Another one is 95% done for a couple weeks and the third is a very large custom train that has been sitting in various stages of completion for a year. I am determined to finish up these before starting another but my mind wants to try and see what some of the modifications on other customs will look like. Plus, add to that, I am waiting on finishing the dismantling of the Layout until I finish this 90% custom sitting here to do a short video. Get your act together Super!!!

That is why I keep reminding my Daughter and my Grandson and his Father that after I am gone all this stuff I am collecting are not just toys to be sold at a Yard Sale as old toys for 50 cents. If they want to sell them then its best to list them at an auction site for a low starting bid and let the bidders determine how high they will go for.

nice stuff, super. those colored girders have always intrigued me. are you able to post a photo of one alongside blue track, please? would like to see how major the difference is. i am also thinking they might look good with the trans-green expo track.
