Walmart Haul... With Some Help.

Got lucky today.  Stopped by Walmart on the way home to pickup few things.  As I'm passing by the toy section, I hear someone going through the dump bin, so I know they got some new stuff.  

Collector's name was David & he was super friendly.  Immediately asks which cars I was after.  Since I don't actively collect anymore, I barely remembered it was some kind of Japanese car.  "Uhh.... JDM?"  As soon as I said it, he hands me the 300ZX(this was the car I was looking for lol).  

As I'm thanking him, I noticed that he had set aside ZAMAC R33 Skyline.  He says he's on the fence if he should get it or not, so I start looking for one of my own & fails.  By then, he had decided to keep the ZAMAC(after another collector showed up & he wanted it, too), but when he saw I couldn't find one, he just gave it to me.  Nice guy.  Thanks David!

First, pic of the 300ZX from my childhood.  Same color as the first one I ever saw.

Rear tampo's cheap looking, like some newer Matchbox cars.  Cartoony amirite.

I still love the hot rods, especially Fords.  "Steve Caballero" signature, skater & hot rod enthusiast.  Must be his car.

  These pops up in my head.  Check them out if you like Ford hot rods.  :)

I've loved this Escort since Fast & the Furious 6(RIP Paul Walker).  Nice livery.

Here are the ZAMACs.  David also found the VW for me.  Both are keepers.  :)
