Got my hands on the new Audi RS5 Sportback!

Last week I ordered the new Audi RS5 Sportback on eBay and it arrived yesterday. I thought this was gonna be one of the more disappointing new models based on Instagram photos I saw, but it's actually not that bad. While I wish they had chosen a different set of tires, I do like the green color and thought it had a good amount of detailing. It's not perfect by any means, and it's definitely not gonna win any "model of the year" awards, but this is a solid addition to the Matchbox lineup.

Recent Moving Parts finds!

Here are my recent Moving Parts acquisitions over the past week. I was lucky enough to find the Yaris at a local Target, but I had to go online to get the Viper and Batur. Love these models!

Follow up on the trespassing incident at TCO

Just found this follow up tweet from the guy who got trespassed from TCO. How this guy got away with breaking the "no filming" rule for three years is mind boggling to me.

"I'm not entitled or begging for anything" is a BS statement. He knew not to film, public practice or not, and did it anyways. I think it's funny that he is not stating WHO gave him approval to record. In other words, that's another BS statement.

People do understand the point, Dustin. You specifically recorded practices when you were told not to for three years, and you finally got caught. Actions have consequences.

Walmart Wednesday Moving Parts finds in Phoenix, AZ

For the first time in a long time, I found some new Moving Parts models at my local Walmart in Phoenix! The Espirit was the only new-for-2026 model the store had, but given how poorly stocked the Walmarts around me are, I'm more than happy with today's finds!

Finally got the BMW M5 Touring!

I was so excited for the release of the new BMW M5 Touring crossover in the Moving Parts line this year. The M5 and Acura Integra Type S models were the releases I were most excited about.

Unfortunately, with Moving Parts distribution being so low in the U.S. this year, eBay resellers are charging a fortune for the model. I had to bide my time, but I finally managed to score one at a reasonable price and it arrived today!

Thoughts on Renee Walker and Jack's love life

Although I wasn't the biggest fan of seasons seven or eight, I thought Renee Walker was one of the best additions to the show. I loved her evolution of by the book FBI agent to the female Jack Bauer. With that being said, one thing I wish the show had done was introduce Renee earlier.

Teri's death at the end of season one set the stage for who Jack would become in later seasons. However I didn't like the way Jack's love life was handled between Teri and Renee. A relationship between Jack and Kate Warner should've happened during season two, rather than its entirety occurring between seasons two and three. I never understood the Claudia Hernandez character. I thought the Audrey story was sweet, but her and Jack always felt like polar opposites. There's a reason Audrey broke up with him at the end of season four.

IMO, Renee should've been introduced earlier in the series, sometime between seasons two and four. If it were up to me, I would've introduced her in season four as the new director of CTU after Driscoll's departure, rather than bringing back Michelle.

I think that introducing Renee earlier would have allowed her to truly develop into a "female Jack" and given Jack a long term partner, both professional and romantic, worth fighting for. She, not Kim or any other love interest, would be his motivation to do what he does. Jack and Renee could have made a great long term couple. Unfortunately, the laws of 24 indicated that she would've died sooner, because Jack can never be happy.

What are your guys' thoughts on this take?

This is my current haul from the Matchbox Gathering of Friends event. I might add some more cars over the next few days but this is the bulk of what I'll be going home with. Got all of my spending out of my system today.

July 2026 Super Chase Finds

I'm not much for Super Chases due to their price, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add these beauties to my collection. The Acura is incredible and I love the London PD deco on the Rover.

I now have eight chases in total, and I hope to add more soon!

Had my first cancellation as a buyer...how does it affect me?

Hello everyone. I've been on Mercari for a little under a year and when I've bought something, I've never cancelled, until now. I recently purchased a tape but before the seller shipped the item, I discovered that it was a duplicate of a tape I already had, so I backed out of the purchase. The cancellation went through without any issues. I know Mercari is pretty strict on cancellations, so I wanted to ask the community: how much does my first cancellation impact my status as a buyer, and how would my buying privileges be affected if I needed to cancel another order in the future?

Found the Target Red Supra on eBay

About a month ago, I was lucky enough to find the ultra rare Target Red Toyota Supra GR on eBay. I know this model has been hard to find for a lot of collectors. I love this model. Red is a timeless color on any car and I like the fact that this is the only Supra that has silver wheels.

With the gradual disappearance of Target Red models from shelves and online stores, I anticipate that this Supra is going to be harder to find in coming years. What is everyone else's thoughts on this model?

Miguel Vargas, White Sox Rising Star...and Vikings Fan?

I know this might be old news to some, but I think it's pretty cool that Miguel Vargas of the Chicago White Sox is a huge Vikings fan. He was introduced to them via his old Dodgers minor league teammate and Minnesota native Michael Busch, who is the starting first baseman for the crosstown rival Cubs. His fandom is so huge that he's nicknamed the "Cuban Viking" by his Sox teammates.

Given that the Vikings fanbase has very few big name fans, it's always nice to see some celebrity support!

Btw, regarding the subject of MLB, Go Cubs Go 😏🐻 Michael Busch has good taste in both sports!
