Been looking for the non pick-up version of the VW T1 van for a while now and lo and behold what i saw in a toy store i happened to just pass by on my way to an appointment.
Whenever i change the album cover on 1 of a very specific set of songs/albums (there is no rhyme or reason to the albums/songs affected) it changes to cover of all songs/albums of that set to the same. I can change the cover of basically all of my more than 700 songs perfectly fine but when i do it on 1 of 18 specific songs/albums it changes the cover on all 18 of those to that same picture.
Went to one of my local toy stores which had recently moved to a bigger building to see if they now sold majorettes (they did not before) and to my joy they stocked (almost) as many Majorette cars as Hot Wheels. And imagine my surprise when behind a whole lot of copies of the same modern hyundai and jeep i found a Porsche 918 Spyder chase car from 2024!
I had kinda accepted i would probably never find a chase since compared to die-hard collectors and resellers/scalpers i have way less time to spend roaming toy stores looking for specifically chase vehicles. Also i normally do not collect cars produced after 1999 (with certain exceptions for cars i really like) but knowing how hard it can be to find chases i will certainly not pass one up cause it is modern.
This lucky find has given me some more hope and renewed will to look out for more chase cars in the future.
Might not be some obscure or niche band or genre but i love it.
This was the result of me sitting next to my MD Deck and Tuner for 5 days (from 9am to 6:30pm for 4 days and from 7am to 6pm the last day)
This jar was part of a series of matching jars of different sizes for storing all manner of kitchen related products. The jar itself is Milk-Glass and the lid is plastic. The jar was produced by the dutch coffee brand ''Douwe Egberts'', the phrase on the side reads ''Light and Creamy'' in dutch.
Excuse the seemingly messy layout, due to the small (relatively speaking) size of my current living space my cd collection is split over 6 CD racks and 1 shelving unit spread over 2 different rooms
I hope to sometime in the future (when i have more space) get all my cd's (and other music formats) together in 1 room.
So i was playing through the new Fever Sisters match and was pleasantly surprised that Missy (the brunette) has pubic hair (shaved into a heart) since almost all female matches i have played so far (unless i am forgetting one) seem to be fully shaved.
So that made me think, are there other female matches that have pubic hair?
Went to one of my local thrift stores that often just dumps accepted vhs tapes (and even hardware) in huge dump/trash containers in the back of their parking lot (they allow dumpster diving) and found this. In the past i have (among other things) found a VHS of Silence of the Lambs and even a Video2000 recorder/player (top-loader type) in their dump containers.
It might not come across too well on this picture but the Jaguar has a fantastic metallic green color with glitter in it.
Found this hot pink VW Beetle with surfboard 2 days back. Fun to put next to my (also surfboard carrying) VW T1 pickup i found earlier this week. (which makes sense, they come from the same series)
Came across a small toy store and decided to see if they had any Majorette cars, walked out with this beautiful mint groeen VW T1 pick-up with surfboard and a racing striped 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1
For a good long while now i wanted to start collecting small model cars but was looking for a brand that was: 1 affordable
2 had metal bodied cars that also complied with point 1
3 produced factory spec/stock road condition cars (instead of only heavily tuned cars in fantasy liveries) and landed on Majorette.
I do have some rules for myself when it comes to collecting these:
1 I only collect cars build before the year 2000
2 i am allowed exceptions to rule 1 if i really like a specific more modern car
3 apart from general oldtimer/classic car collecting i am trying to get a model of every car my father, grandfather, great grandfather and great uncle owned in the same color they had.
I am curious to you guys' thought on my collection thus far, and if you do not recognise one (or multiple) of the cars i have feel free to ask!
This little jug for cream/milk (the kind to be added to coffee) was made in 1961 by the dutch firm Zenith (no relation to the american electronics company) of the dutch city of Gouda (famous for it's cheese) and would originally have been paired with a sugar bowl and a plate to put both on.

I picked up this cute little tea tin for 50 cents at my local thrift store.
I absolutely LOVE the flower decorations on it!
I always loved my grandmother's old tea, bread, coffee, biscuit etc. containers (she has those with chinese style decorations on them)
A little google told me this style of decoration which mimicks porcelain but on metal is called ''toleware'' and that my little tin is probably from the 60's or 70's.
I will for sure be on the lookout for more containers in this style. I would love to have a complete set just like my grandmother has.
Picked up this little tea tin for 50 cents at the local thrift store today.
A quick google tells me the decorating style is called ''Toleware'' and the tin is probably from the 60's or 70's (if this is wrong someone please correct me on this)
I picked it up cause i love vintage kitchen/household equipment (lasts forever unlike most modern things) and i really really love the floral pattern!
I was flipping through the pilot artwork book and came across this piece of concept art of Gwen in the repair halo.
Not to be ''that guy'' but i can't help but wonder, is that the machine not being finished repairing her chest so it still shows some of that blue/purple ''blood'' or does this mean Gwen has nipples that match her hair color?
Not shown: about 5 to 10 kid's vhs tapes still somewhere in my dad's storage, about 20 home videos of either family vacations or home recordings of shows/cartoons from my childhood (shows like Tom & Jerry, Thomas the Tank Engine, Postman Pat and Fireman Sam among others) and a couple of the Disney classics/originals (i have all those bundled together on a couple dedicated shelves which means those consist of VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray's all mingled together)
(Sorry if some images are dim or unfocused, i don't know why but i just could not get my home's lights to co-operate today)
