I'm so lucky

I've got all the bits and tiny cars packed away. Been meaning to drag them out for a group shot in some semi-sunlight, but for some reason I was afraid of being bombarded by kids. Well there hasn't been many kids around here lately, so I was feeling pretty safe. When out of no where... my worst nightmare, I was bombarded by kids!

I don't know why I got so agitated, I started sweating profusely, because they were just saying, "I like the blue one, I like the black one." One kept saying, "You're so lucky, huh?" I wanted to say, "Not really, I spent alot of money and only half them survived." In retrospect it wasn't so bad, and I probably should have charged up a couple, but I don't do well with crowds. :lol:

So anyways, here's my 50+ micros altogether.

I guess I am pretty lucky. :oops:

I hear you there. Since I got divorced I've been livin with my freind and his roommate, and together they have five kids. They're always asking me if they can play with my cars, and no matter how many times I say no, they just keep askin.......I'm not too good with sharing something that took me weeks, sometimes months to build...... :-)


BTW: that is quite the sick collection you have there....I especially like the VW bus.... :-o

Very nice collection! :-o

I have to put up with the same thing when the niece and nephews are over. I solved that problem by having something that they can abuse for them to run.

My crawlers!

They can't really break them, no more than I could. :lol:

That's one of the few times I told the wife, "...but I have to have this one." and broke the bank to get it. Glad I did, those sold out quick. :lol:

I hear ya about the crawler SG. Been meaning to hand the controller to my kid, but I have too much fun with it.

I'm wondering how I ended up with so many yellow cars. I hate yellow cars. :???:

There are only 6 that are box stock, anyone want to guess which ones. :lol:

....and the answer is....

54

Ya know, some of these amazing customs that are completely awesome by themselves really don't look all that cool sitting in a sea of cars. You just don't have time to see the details.

I hate to ask, but what does the layout of empty bodies look like?

See the red and black roadster in front of the TVR bodies, in the body shot? That's it. I repainted it. Sanded a tad too much off one of the rear fenders, so that's why I never showed off the change. Then the chassis flaked on me, and became a donor to keep another car going. Bummer too, because I really like the rounded fenders on that one. :sad:

If you're partial to the theme, you should create your own Vanilla Smoothie? :???:
