Retro Entertainment Mix F - Part 2

After finding 3 Retro Entertainment cars, I decided to head into the city to check all the other Countdown Supermarkets to see if they had received their stock. Sadly, none had and I decided that I needed to continue to check every day until I found more stock to complete the set. Armed with several photographs including the store tag from my local store, I set of at lunch from work to the closest store and began the task of walking up and down every single aisle checking every random clip strip and bin just in case.

Eventually I made my way to the small toy section and looked over the pegs, at first everything looked as it did on my earlier visit but then I spotted the 1963 Aston Martin DB5 and then the Ford Super De Lux. Grabbing those, I began hunting for any other cars eventually finding an Ecto 1A, 3 Thunder Rollers and 1 Batmobile. At this point I called "my good mate from the capital city" since he was still looking for a set (normally securing one from me) and let him know that I had a couple of cars for him. As I stood their talking, I continued to flip over random items in the rather messy toy section and found another Ecto 1A and Batmobile, allowing me to purchase a full set for "my good mate" and allowing me to complete my second set of openers - the Ecto 1A, Thunder Roller and Batmobile.


Some more close ups


With side tampo's this time 

And the set of five together


Just waiting for the next set of five to arrive so I can leave the best cards sealed and open the rest. Let the ripping commence!
