CARS Movie Moments P.T. Flea and Flik

P.T. Flea and Flik have arrived with the latest Movie Moments CARS case. These along with Towcap and Gasprin have been eagerly awaited since Christmas time. Down the line, I think these will follow the Mike and Sulley route, sitting on the pegs awaiting clearance and then not even moving then. But for the detail the VW Bug is way cool and the little brown droppings on P.T. Fleas hat have been commented as being flea eggs or flea poop. Either way they are cool and my daughter loves to play with them. Win-Win in my book!

CARS Anime Chuki

Chuki has made her debut on a single card. And with the recent drought of cool CARS this little Japanese Anime Chuki was a welcomed arrival. She fits in well with my massive JDM collection and my daughter likes hers for the simple fact she is a bright pink and has long eyelashes!

PIXAR CARS Lightning Ramone

Lightning Ramone had FINALLY made it to a single pack, The previous offering for him was in a $10 3 pack with 2 previously released cars (BLEH) So getting him in a single pack and saving the $7 overhead was right on the mark!

Hot Wheels Batman Begins 2 car set

This set is really cool and was a nice price. I have been wanting to grab the 1:18 scale versions of them. But the price has been holding me back. Anything made by Hot Wheels/ Mattel isn’t worth a $50 price tag. So these little ones will have to do. And the cool thing about these 1:64 scale guys, is their bonnets open up over the cockpit. Nice touch!

Auto Art ALWAYS pumps out QUALITY diecast representations of race cars. And this 1:43 scale WRX is yet ANOTHER example!

The Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center

Well, today I figured we would make a family outing to the aquarium in Virginia Beach, seeing as how we haven’t done much lately (because of work, being sick and of course having nasty cold weather). This is Gisselles first time to an aquarium where she can actually appreciate the contents. Needless to say we all had a ball! Enjoy the photo’s.

Really hard to tell, but this crab caught one of the fish in the tank and claimed it as dinner. Blur job once again, but we were about 10 ft away through 2 panels of glass. Did the best I could

Selle goofing off outside. It’s a 1/2 mile walk between Aqaurium buildings so it gave selle a chance to see trees and shrubs (WEEEEEE).

These were huts set up along the walk. Examples of what Native Indians in this area lived in. ( and it was raining here in the swamp!)
