The place had just opened (new store)and the lady didn't have all the boxes empty. In the corner I noticed a box of cars. Mostly MB and HW. In the bottom was those 5 cars. I was amazed to see the NYSP car, it was a JLDirect car and the WL...well I almost fainted!

I would love to see the path that those cars took to end up at a thrift store. It would be interesting.

Dave Antonelli is the absolute King of thrift store die cast! I had to ask him not to tell me any more of his stories, he was having better luck there than I ever did in a retail store!!!!
