    And just like that,

    I'm a kid again.
    opening the box and finding the little pink jeep instantly transported me back to childhood and playing cars with my big brother.
    And look, the steering wheel is on the proper side!

      Target had restocked and I found a land rover . No mbx to found, they must have dropped them.
      I can see a bit of a theme happening in my random pickings. Seems I'm drawn to jeeps and landrovers. Fond memories of childhood holidays on the farm and bouncing up the paddock in the back of the 'rovers I guess.

        Congrats on the new additions to the collection. Still have my Matchbox Jeep Hotrod from childhood, had many hours of fun with it back then.

            I'm happy to hear they made it OK, and that you like them. It is just a little thank you for all you do around here (and before!).
            The image file limits have been reset. Upper limits now are 100,000 when we have some images that exceed 5,000,000. I've set the pixels for no more than 1000 across the longest side, so if you resize to that all should be well. (The limits are larger than what I typically use, and my images turn out just fine, so I know it shouldn't be a problem)

            Thank you for your understanding.

              Well of the ones with the engine there were actually two colors that I know of, the pink and then red. The pink below is my childhood, a bit of paint issues, but the tow hook and exhaust stacks are still somehow entact, and it still looks decent, and the red came from a show some years back, and is the only upgrade of my childhood one that I have.

                  Those are some nice models you have added to your collection Skwerl! Trying to think if I still have that pink Jeep running around someplace in the basement or not!
