Today's Dollar tree and Family Dollar scores!

The LED Moon light was $1.25 at Dollar Tree and has diorama potential.

The Chap Mei "Dino Valley" set was $15 at Family Dollar. This is one of the only new molds Chap Mei has released in years without the hollow inner legs (a huge pet peeve of mine), plus, this set comes with the latest accessory trees which has a great, Safari themed outer frame, which I have been waiting to show up in a set that wasn't full of useless junk.

I was browsing through the bay after Christmas and found two Chevy Impala models for 49,99€ each.
I wasn't expecting that both sellers would accept my offer of 40€, but they proved me wrong. So here they are!

Back in the days, I played Empire at War on my computer. The Rebel Alliance hat this overpowered artillery batteries on treads. And I was looking for a suitable tank to use as base for a custom vehicle at my local stores here in Germany. You can check out what I found here.

But I didn't find quite what looks like these:


T4-B




So I went on AliExpress, and here's what I found:

They're listed for 54€ MRSP, but are currently on sale for 42-48€. I found them from a seller who got them from AliExpress himself and sold both to me for 43€ including shipping. So I didn't have to wait for 2 weeks until they ship all the way from China.


If you're wondering how they're called: Ripsaw EV3-F4 tank and they're actually in 1/18 scale!


I wouldn't be a customizer if I hadn't modified it right away with just one click...



And believe it or not this was only a few days before the second trailer for ANDOR Season 2 aired!
This show has big potential for new vehicles...but let's discuss that on another thread.
