Under the Hood Club members were invited to a special sale over Thanksgiving weekend.

Most of the stuff was $2 per car,$24 for a sealed inner,or $75 for a sealed master case. The 5 packs were $12 For every $75 you spent you got a grab bag, and in 5 of the grab bags were green machines. There were also 1:24 and 1:18 on sale.

UPS dropped my order on my doorstep around 7 this evening!
They didn't last more than 2 or 3 minutes after I got them inside!!!

I ordered a sealed master of the MCG 6, 6 of the KMart box sets, and 2 individual pace cars.

In the grab bags were a nice assortment of cars, many of which I didn't have, and an ugly old Auction Block 67 Shelby GT500 Mustang with this odd color paint job...

The other Mustang(MCG 6 69 Boss 302 custom) was in my master case...

and in my other grab bag with some cool cars was an unnumbered 1979 Vette!

Both of the Mustangs are duplicates for me, so they'll be up for trade for GMs I don't already have. Black Bandits and Up in Flames will be priority ;)

Pass the lucky stick now, I'm hoping for the same. I ordered a MCG6 master, 2ea 1:18 Challengers, a 5 pack, and some patches, came to $151+. I should receive 2 grab bags as well. WTG on the scores! Mustangs to boot!:thumbsup:

Shame you didn't get a green in the 5 packs! You were probably hoping, I know I am! Nice grab bag though, 1 down!

UPS ground does NOT typically deliver on Saturday. But it IS the holiday season, man , I would love to get my order today. I got up at 5am to hit a couple of TRUs at 6am opening, came home with absolutely nothing. In the past I've seen members closer to the source get their stuff days before I do, especially if there is a weekend invloved.

Just curious - what do you do with all the duplicates?

I rent tables at a monthly diecast show and sell them.
At $2.00 or $3.00 a piece they will sell.

Cool. (No diecast shows around here. :()

Not sure my Mom or sisters would appreciate them as gifts, but it's the thought that counts, right? :)

My order did NOT arrive today. Seems UPS routed it to the wrong DisCtr.
This is not the first time I have had problems w/UPS. I think it would take a week to mail something nextdoor with those guys. Milezone's uses them sometimes too. My sealed inner of MCG7 was left without a signature on my neighbor's front porch for 4 days, in the rain. Their house address(not the one on the box) was on the wall, 2 feet from the package. When my neighbor brought it to me there was water running out of the bottom corner of the box. My sealed inner of MCG8 looked like it got kicked repeatedly by a mule. It had holes as big as a softball in it. I have done a lot of online transactions as the buyer and the seller, I have had only one problem with the postal service on an ebay purchase. Sorry for the long rant but I am really beginning to dislike UPS.:(
