    And the Woody, I can't tell who made it:

    So it's a few weeks later, and at the same place, there's this:

    That looks like a good score. I don't think I've ever seen one of those before.

    There's plenty for sale, but Speed Kings hardly were sold in Everett. I think I bought one, a GMC 'Screamin' Jimmy' cement mixer. Anyway, in this condition, it runs about $12-20, depending on who you buy it from.

    This is the mixer I had, except I didn't lose the grille...I lost the entire toy.
