Yesterday I went out to do my weekly shopping and while I was at Walmart (my only local source for diecast), I swung by the diecast section to spend my $20.00 weekly budget. I picked up 3 GL Motor Worlds and 3 HW Cool Classics, which was slightly over my budget. As I was walking away I saw in the 1:24 section that they had the Motor Max 2014 Dodge Charger Enforcer RCMP car, so I picked it up too.
As I was walking down the aisle away from there, I saw a huge new center-aisle display of HW. Stopped to browse and ended up picking up 18(!) more. Sigh, so much for budgeting. I justified it by mentally reminding myself that they had just dropped their regular series HW prices from $1.37 down to $1.00 (from US$ 1.09 down to $0.79), so I was actually saving money, not spending it. Right? Right?
Picture of the 1:24 RCMP Charger will follow when I get the 2010 Charger painted white and the RCMP decals applied, so I can get them together.
Next weekend there's a big 750 table indoor garage sale at an exhibition complex just outside Halifax. I plan on hitting that up early in the morning and then hitting all the Toys-R-Us, Walmarts, etc. in Halifax on the way home. Taking lots of cash for the garage sale and hoping for some luck.
