JUST THE JOB

Here's a job lot that was on the Bay. Mixed lots like this are always fun to look at. What can you see in this bundle readers?

EMPIRE OF CARS

Woodsy, attached is a photo I culled from the 'Net of an Empire Plastic Corp. carded set showing the same type of small vehicles as in the RUSH HOUR blog post by Wotan this month.

Also, if I may point out a nice website run by Kent Owen Sprecher which chronicles more of these small vehicles: Toy Soldier HQ (although there's far and away more than just military toys listed)

https://www.angelfire.com/biz/toysoldierhq/OtherUSA1.html

Kent's site is set up as a sales site and while he does have a lot for sale, it's greatest attribute is the history of many of the companies shown, the overwhelming quantity of the companies listed, and the multitude of photos. It's a bit difficult finding things at times but the search is half the fun.

KEVIN'S TOY LUNAR ORBITER AND SPACEX FLEET SO FAR

Hi,

After over two years, I have managed to get another Spacex II toy for my collection. The Lunar Orbiter. 

A lovely toy. It was far from mint, but I did a bit of restoration and am happy with the result.

I now still need the Space Station, the Soyuz pair and the 3 that nobody seems to have! Here is a shot of my SpacexII collection so far.

Still not giving up!

Over the Moon,
