I try to cut down, but then I see pretty shiny things that pull me back in. LOL
I found a fair deal for 3 of the '83 Silverados from the 100 Years set on eBay and picked them up. I still have faith that they'll show up around here...someday. But if they don't, I at least have the 1 I couldn't live without from the set.
They are kid's toys, so you can't fault them for some of those odd designs. It's never bothered me any. I'm a fan of interesting and quirky designs. Designers need to exercise their creativity. Copying and miniaturizing stuff doesn't exercise that need. I like seeing some of the stuff they come up with, even if it may be ugly as hell. There are plenty of those oddities that I do pick up just because they're simply an interesting design to me.
