I have a question, does anyone else keep a few "ugly little suckers" around simply because they are too ugly to get rid of? If so how about showing them to us. Two views with different lighting to see which is best.

I just remembered these three that I have had since the train platform days of the 1940s. State of the art back then.

Actually, if those top guys are pull-back cars, I collect those. The red mini is nothing but the other three remind me a bit of the Choro Q line. What do they say on the bottom?

They are pull backs but have nothing molded into the bottom. They do, of course, have the gold "Made in China" label. I really like to look at them but when I get ready to have them migrate to a new home you will be first in line to adopt.

Truth is neither one is very close. It is much greener than either picture shows.

Oh don't worry about that. I do collect real Choro Q from Japan and those just reminded me of them. They are probably Chinese knock-offs. I have over 500 different Choro Q.

thanks for your compliments the reason i dont like the H.H.R. is i got 4 in a case and no hummers l.o.l. but the kids liked them i kept just that one .

Free spirit, that snow scene diorama is awesome.
Snow on the railing. Snow on the SUV behind the HHR. Is it a Cadillac Escalade?
And the street looks real. Some local traffic and some ruts starting to appear.
Well done!

Cheers. Cobra

After I get tired of ugly ducklings they go to the Thrift store to find a more appreciative home.
