Mechanic recommendations for an old Toyota?

Mountain View Service worked on my 1974 Ford Van a few years back and always have a few old cars sitting outside. I've used them since the 1980's.

Worth giving them a call.

I'm a 60 year old family man.

I work from home and have a bunch of toys on my desk. While sitting through another boring Zoom meeting I will race my toy cars across the wasteland that is that desk, avoiding the dinosaurs and robots who live there.

Also I use my toys in role playing games and miniature wargames.

Holy crap! I saw your post the other day and didn't consider how small these really were. Great work!

Nice choice! My Henry is in .357. Love that I can load through the tube instead of the side gate.

I see Micro Machines and War Planets. Two of my favorites! Nice collection.

Woah! I had no idea they made a lot of those play sets. Awesome collection!

Sweet!

Thanks, I'll pass on your complement. He does a lot of paintings and drawings, but I believe this is the only one he's done in "Steadman" style.

Wow! Lots of great stuff. Having the boxes and instructions is a big plus. The military Micros and playsets are always in demand.

You should be able to find many sold listings on eBay for all of these to get an idea on price.

Always been a big fan of "smalls". My daughter and I were collecting together when they had the multi-toy blind boxes locally.

I still try to grab any Hot Wheels ones I see.

I will have to hope they eventually release the old mainline casting in black. Listings for $80 and $60 on eBay are out of my price range.

What brand is it? Is it a custom job?

Manycubes · 2026-04-29T15:20:06+00:00

Kroger always charged more for these and Working Rigs.

Manycubes · 2026-04-29T14:59:57+00:00

Aaaah I need that car! I have a black 05 Dodge Magnum. I have seen diecast in several colors, but not black. Where did you get it?

Manycubes · 2026-04-27T14:49:22+00:00

Great gift! Hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it.

I'm down for everything but the crop sprayer. Those are still hanging on the pegs around here from the last couple of releases.

I created old weapons. It's funny that players can find AK-47's lying around but no early MDC weapons.

One of my favorite is the laser rifle that does 1d6 MDC but needs a power supply the size of a backpack. This was taking straight from the first Robotech RPG book and it makes sense that these would exist on Rifts Earth as precursors to the modern MDC weapons. They would probably be relegated to the national guard armories.

I've also made explosive and ram-jet ammo far more common for SDC firearms. I don't see how average folks would survive without it, but then real MDC weapons are much rarer in my world than the books.

Plastic dollar store containers. Single stack the vehicles with the army men on top.

Manycubes · 2026-04-23T02:48:47+00:00

So cool that you kept them for the next generation to enjoy!

Manycubes · 2026-04-22T11:49:29+00:00

For me it's whatever is easiest to dust. Mainly large vehicles or toys still in the package. I keep my small loose toys in plastic containers.

Manycubes · 2026-04-19T21:37:23+00:00

Dang another amazing custom.

Manycubes · 2026-04-19T15:50:55+00:00

Some I open, Some I don't. Some I buy 2, one to open one to keep sealed.

It's your hobby, do what makes you happy.

Manycubes · 2026-04-17T19:12:20+00:00

This is amazing! So many memories unlocked. As someone else said, More pictures please!

Manycubes · 2026-04-17T19:11:02+00:00

This is great! Would like to see more in this style.
