Styx:

If I could see them in advance I'd ask you to pick me up some Styx!  There's only the one up here in Nashua, NH, and I cleaned them out.

Keith

Tell you what, when I hit by there I will shoot you a list of what I don't pick up....or if you want tell me (or better PM me pictures) of what you have (give the car make and date) as well as a wish list...aka sports cars, pickup trucks, police/rescue, etc...I will see what I can do to grab up a few extra and you can paypal me the cost and shipping.

There should be lots of good options within that 17 mile radius then!  PM sent to you regarding your offer Styx.  :)

I promised some pics of the cars I picked up so far (again thanks to Styx for checking into some additional ones for me).  These are not the best pictures, as they are taken with my low grade phone camera, apologies for that.  In each of the photos are two figures, a GCPD Heroclix figure, and a Copplestone Casting police figure for scale reference.

Those look pretty good.  What are you using for your street tiles?

@obsidian3d:  The tiles are made of 1/4" MDF, and are painted flat black on 5 sides.  I then print out some of the Streets of Legend from WorldWorks on 8" x 11" blank label sheets and lay that down on the MDF.  

I've posted some pics of the results on this thread over on the Hirst Arts Forums here. The cars shown in those pics are just some 1:64 matchbox cars.

Picked up a few cars this past week, just when I am in the store I snap one off the shelf so the wife does not see it! Posted pics on my blog. Going shopping this weekend to bolster Myrlyn's and my collection....

Managed to grab a few more cars after Dollar General did a restock.  I'll see if I can get some pics of them up in the near future.
