    part 3 of another my thoughts post

    since we've entered june i had thought of doing another follow up post. this one is once again on nick's animated shows (since i've seen everyone seemed to like the two i did at the start of the year i've been thinking hard of doing a third one). this is going to include only three shows.

Well i finished what i said I'd get · 2:51pm May 20th

So last night I bought the last car I needed to finish for the metal maniacs from the acceleracers line flathead fury. I'm glad I got it and this was a pretty big buy. (i made an offer to the seller and they accepted what i offered). so I now got all 9 of the metal maniac cars. (a little fact when I said I had most of the cars from acceleracers the metal maniacs were the ones I had the most oit of the four teams. I had 7 of the 9 the only ones I didn't have were flathead fury and piledriver). they weren't in the stores but I got them now. a little thing that I wish they did was put the five spoke wheels for flathead fury piledriver and jackhammer (in the toy line they putted those with the 6 spoke but in the movies they were 5 spoke so I wish they putted those with the 5 spoke variant so they could of been more accurate but it is what is).

so I just thought I'd share I now got one of the four teams from the acceleracers (this maybe the only team I buy as I looked at the others and they're expensive that's out of my purchase). I know I said I'd buy the others but I got other stuff I said I was going to buy so I think one team is good enough and I always thought they're cars were neater with the flame decals. so that's that.

thanks for reading this and I'll talk to you guys in the next post.
