davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2026

[davidd]

I looked up that neat Vespa.  Well those prices are all over the place.  Better not let my 1/6 gang see that or they'll want one to match the minis'.

I've since seen a weather map.  . . .
Hope it's not bad where you are.

I purchased my first 1/6-scale Vespa, the version without a sidecar, specifically for the Pullip girls (with the understanding they might share it with Monster High) from an import toy store called Toys 'n' Joys in Kaimuki on Oahu near the foot of Diamond Head. I used to make special trips about twice a year to Kaimuki to hit the specialty toy store and the comic book shops. I remember the Vespa cost $20.00 and I was uneasy spending the money. I found the sidecar version some time later, I don't remember where, and I believe it cost $40.00.

Prices have increased. Parcel shipping costs have increased to the point where purchasing or selling large items like 1/6-scale vehicles is no longer feasible, or at least not for me.

The brief flurry of flakes that fell here today and did not last barely qualifies as snow. It was kind of disappointing. I would at least like to have seen the ground get covered. Plus, I want to try out the new Subaru "Wilderness Edition" Forester in the snow!
