Hot Wheels '76 Greenwood Corvette (DHP88) - 2016 Mainline

From the Mild to Wild segment, here is the '76 Greenwood Corvette. I really, really like this version. It is flashy, as it should be. Usually I like stock version over more "tarted" up versions, but for me, Hot Wheels Greenwoods are better when they are bold and brash.

Toy Soldier set from Walmart

I picked this set up mostly to hone my skills on - see what I can do with it. The vehicles are light on detail, and have no interiors. But the whole set cost under $10, so not much lost if I can't bodge something together out of it. The play-mat has no value for me and went into the trash.

Grissom AFB gate guards

I was out for a drive with my wife when I stopped at Grissom AFB. Lighting was good, so, even though the museum was closed, I got out to snap some pictures from the perimeter.

Attack Track (MB965) - Matchbox missile launcher

I've added a number of Matchbox's "Attack Track" (MB965) to my collection with the intent to repaint them. I want them for war gaming, and at $1 a pop, the price is right. Not perfect for what I want, and a little small for 1/72, I'm still glad that I got them. Detailing is good overall, and I'm hopeful that a repaint will bring it out more. The missile bay has no detailing, which is to be expected, but I like that the missile is meant to be detached.

Greenlight Collectibles Exclusive Figure Multipack

I went to a die-cast show this past weekend (Yogi's Vintage Toy & Diecast) in Noblesville and picked up some new additions. The show is held twice a year and is a smallish show. Not sure how many vendors, but I'd hazard a guess at 15-25 vendors all said. I found some bargains and found some things I don't ever see in the stores, including this Figure Multipack by Greenlight. I got it for $5.00, which seems like the going rate. At $0.83 a figure, it seems a little steep, but they are painted, and 1/64 figures aren't that common.

 The figures are pictured with a Johnny Lightning '98 Corvette Convertible Pace Car for scale (and because of the 100th running of the Indy 500 today).

Hot Wheels 2016 Nationals in Indianapolis

I couldn't make the Nationals until the last day, Sunday, but glad I was able to go for at least that. It is the first time I've been to a National, and it being 15 minutes from home was super convenient. Got some great deals. Here are a few photos from the vendors' room.

A view of Air Force One as it makes it's final approach into Indianapolis about a year ago. Taken near my wife's work. Can't claim credit for the image - wife's co-worker took it, and did a great job including the flag.
