    Kind of kicking myself for not buying that plow truck when it was on clearance. Looks like a good set.

    Recent acquisitions from this week:

    And since we're discussing the McLaren, had to dig mine out.

    Just the basics
    The buggy is great. It lives at my desk. There's also a small green moto and minifig and usually a CMF or two. The Highwayman has been on watch for a couple months.

    The Creator aircraft are also a favorite.

    Speed Champions are cool but I've not yet picked up any. They seem spendy and rarely come down in price on Amazon which is where patience pays off. Keeping a bunch of sets in your cart and seeing price changes helps keep the cost down. Camelcamel is another good resource as is brickset.

    I like the speed champions theme. I originally bought them to place around my modular city I haven't built.

    My bricklink order arrived today. It was for complete sets of Series 5 and Series 7 CMFs. The only problem was that Series 7 Daredevil was missing his white cape. Believe it or not it was cheaper to order a new Daredevil then purchase just the cape with the minimum order cost threshold. I'm currently looking for Series 1-3 to complete all the CMF series.

    So a quick update. I just ordered Series 2 and 3 from bricklink. So now I'm just missing Series 1 and at $300 for the set, I'll be missing it for a while.

    I looked into piecing them together but I found it difficult to find a vender that had them individually at a good price. Once I added it up with shipping from multiple stores it would cost me more then buying them as a complete set. I didn't break the bank on them so I'm pretty satisfied.
