Nice lineup George! One of these days I'll get my hands on one of those Personnel Carriers with the gray wheels and gray rollers. For now I'll just have to be satisfied with admiring yours!

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

That is one very Minty rarity Jason! What a catch. The used one we have in our collection was found just this last year on a hot Buy it Now "Hot" lead that was published right here on our Forum by Numi. After 2 weeks of my having missed her Post on it, I could not believe it was still available for me to buy. The variation is an exciting one, congratulations, and Thanks for Posting your picture here today for everyone to drool over..... kwakers
