They tried to pull the old 'Bait & Switch' on me. What I got was something totally different.

They said they did, and went ahead and sent me an invoice. Around early 2005 I emailed Danbury mint with photos of the exact item and asked if they still had any in stock. Forgive my rather rough sounding voice as I was getting over a nasty cold at the time I shot this.I had wanted the 'Welcome Great Pumpkin' Peanuts lighted sculpture featuring the Peanuts gang in costume or by pumpkins.

Sure I paid more than I originally bought it for, but there's no way I'll ever part with with this one now! Especially with Danbury being out of the diecast model biz.įor those interested, here's a video I made of the original 1/12 Mustang I had when I was selling it on eBay. Well, after the first of this year, to give myself a nice present because things have gone so well on the job, I bought another 1/12 Mustang which was in near excellent shape for it's age now. I also once had their '56 Corvette in that scale, and the '65 Mustang convertible.Ī few years ago, I sold the 'Vette on eBay to a fellow in Great Britain who paid nearly twice what I bought it for (around $500)! I had also sold the Mustang, and regretted getting rid of it not long after. One of my faves that I've had since it was new is they're 1/12 scale '57 Chevy Convertible, which just about does everything except start up and run. Harry, that is one GORGEOUS '56 Buick!! I have a number of Danburys myself, and I'm a fan of diecast if they're not clunky and the shape is right.
