Those who know me know that my interests vary widely and that I'm drawn to anything out of the ordinary (oddball some might say). I have a particular fondness for woody wagons, campers, and hearses.
With that in mind, here's what came in a box yesterday from a friend in Belgium. He regularly visits toy fairs throughout Western Europe and is always on the lookout for things I've put on my wish list. He helped me amass all those campers from the parts works series. Things have slowed a bit since COVID but this box of goodies has been building for a while.
Without further ado... here there they:
Others have posted about this car transport. I'm glad to finally have one.
First in the new series of microcars
Got this just because it's weird looking
Same with this
Another camper for the museum!
Everybody needs to have a garbage truck in their collection
And for the final ride...

Interesting group of models. One question, why a fondness for hearses?

Great assortment, Randy! I guess some might think I share in your varied interests. For instance, here are two of my recent builds.
Keep 'em coming! David

Eclectic is the perfect word for your very interesting collecting taste Randy; which adds a lot to this Forum. I have the same car carrier en route and looking forward to it.

@ed-davis I’d say it’s the because of the variety of ways the last ride is interpreted. They’re usually high end vehicles and they’re ornate. Likewise, the scale models of these vehicles have extra details and are very elegant. Thanks for asking!

@randyrusk Great stuff as usual!!! The Europeans and South Americans are lucky to have access to the cheap part works. I got a few over the years but have given up now to to high postage rates...
Are there any markings on the car carrier box? Just curious how it is sold...

Nice new group of models. The car carrier is pretty decent, I haven't figured out what models to put with it yet.

@karl Nothing on the box other than its source of manufacture (Bangladesh) and that it’s officially licensed by GM.
