    So I was at the New Braunfels, TX, HL the other day, and there were some interesting wagons (and a few other cars) for the collectors here. There were a pair of blue Satellite wagons, a plain '68 and a 'decorated' '69. I'm thinking I might buy the '68 and paint it in black & White to look like Sgt. Mac McDonald's wagon from ADAM-12.
    There were three Chevy II wagons, all in different colors; in Greenlight, they had the '76 Pontiac Safari wagon. I had others in mind, but alas, I forgot. Sooooo, if you have a HL near you, go take a look, see what they have, report back.
    As for desirable non-wagins, they still have an Ace Ventura '85 Crown Vic cop car I think I'm gonna snag.

    I picked up quite a few of these recently. Greenlight's site still says Series 6 but it is actually Series 7.
    I have the complete Series 4 and 7 and select wagons from Series 5 and 6.

    I have something special planned for the lime green Plymouth Satellite wagon. Stay tuned.

    I hope it includes covering up that oogly lime green (looks more like Sassy Grass Green). If a blue wagon would work better or fill your collection, either the '68 or the '69, let me know.

    There's a few I would not mind having in 1/64th scale...it might cause me to change my model trains from 1/87th to 1/64th scale......

    Going from HO to S scale would be a big change. :tiphat: :sarcasticclap:

    All my HO trains are in boxes awaiting the opportunity to build a landscaped layout someday.

    Mine too. Sadly, I think it will never happen. But I need to see if there are any clubs between San Antonio and Austin, that will allow "Run what'cha brung."

    What's standing in your way?
    I pulled it all out to photo-inventory recently.
    That's not scale model weathering. Its 40+ years of real grunge accumulation.

    I need to make a few 420s and 636's from those Tyco bodies. And yeah, that would be a good idea, since my stuff's in a storage unit.
