Perfect security! It’s like when you’re at the beach, and you stick your keys waaaaaayy down to the toe of your empty shoe. A thief walks by, can’t see anything, and says “Nope, nothing to steal here!.” They can’t get past that!
Yea at least its covered.
I tip my UPS nad USPS people to leave stuff at the back door.
They really seem to like Godfathers pizza and Pizza Hut gift cards.
(really helped out when all those Kmart cases came in)
I can’t find anyone near a disneyland or I’d own those minis LOL
Totally unrelated, but take a look at this:

Yeah, they’re really going to get rid of all of their McQueens for that price… 😀
It’s ashame that is not for the lenticular McQueen. He is extremely rare, so $24.99 would be a great price!
LOL! I think it is supposed to be the remote controlled McQueen or 1/24 scale or something? It says it is 2.1 pounds in the description and the dimensions are pretty big. Maybe, just maybe, this is the new sculpted block of depleted uranium version courtesy of our friends in China?
Probably Korea, they have tons of that depleted stuff “laying around”
Yeah if this particular McQueen glows in the dark, I’d be getting a bit nervous. 🙂
MiaSenorita, I can’t help but think your son is testing Mater for lead with the “bite test”. Doesn’t that just work with gold?
You mean the base ingredient in the special paint ISN’T gold?
How much do those mini Cars and playmat cost to buy? They’re only from Disney parks, right?!
Ta!
They end up being about $30 after tax . . . I have helped a few Take 5 famlily members with them. 🙂
I love those minis!!!!! I may have to get those someday!!!!! so cute.
My daughter loves the ambulance as well. But she keeps saying “why doesnt it open in back?”!!!!
I love Matttel – eh Met?
I was fortunate enough to time things so that I was home when UPS showed up with my box of 3 SDCC RSM sets(you can just about set your watch by this guy)….the shipping box looked fine, and the 3 sets were all in place, covered with separate foam sheets, and brown paper filling in around them. Not too bad for packing, and they all look great.
same here I was actually impressed at the level of packing that they did. Kudos to all. Oh yeah and they are amazing. Have yet to open one yet, but will soon
Better knot, better yet, send it to me and I will test it for lead first!!
A belated B-day gift, perhaps? Wood-n’t that be nice!
yes..i was impressed with the packaging as well …nicely wrapped. and except for the UPS man delivering to the wrong company/floor , and then beeacth woman giving me a hard time about handing over my own package as I am showing her my printed order form for my package it was great =P
Now isn’t that my package in the wrapped box next to the SDCCs? (I admit that sounds a little messed up). Check the lovely plain brown “you can’t charge me for a large flat rate priority box if I disguise it” paper! No pictures of the boy with the Cars Toons Megas? I’m crushed Mia… 😉
LOL! That is your package.. and I loved the extra mile you went with the brown paper on the priority mail box 🙂
And believe me.. it is a tie for who he likes better : Rescue Ambulance, or Ransburg Mater. Both are off limits for his little sister, “because she might drop them and get the all scratched!”
I am sure every picture from here until eternity will include him with is Ambulance.. since he hasn’t put it down yet. 😉
That’s so cute!!
Fair enough! 🙂 Glad he likes ’em!
I’m wondering why? Is the price difference that great? I ship everything Priority and it’s still based on weight.
It was a FLAT RATE BOX . . . you could put 1 pound or 5 pounds in the box and it would still be a FLAT PRICE. If it wasn’t a flat rate type box it could go for CHEAPER, soooooo . . . he wrapped it in paper and probably saved $6-8! 🙂
Word
If you wanna go even cheaper, take a used flat-rate box, dis-assemble it, and re-assemble it inside-out so that only the brown shows. On occasion, I get packages that have had that done.
Cant now, most boxes are printed inside and out with Priority Mail on them
yeah the PO got WISE to that trick . . . 🙂
True! I mostly meant you could save by not having to wrap it in brown paper. Those saved pennies add up, dontcha know 🙂
Hey! That’s our schitck!
Yes, it was a team effort – UPS and USPS hid the packages… Had to move the rug across my front porch. Must be hourly wage employees….. 😉
Better than moving your porch across the carpet! 😉
That it tooo cute!
I just got all this in the mail too! But my UPS man left both boxes on the step; I guess he really trusts my neighbors 🙂
Hahha…what a beautiful happy face!!
Hey, I think I have seen those MINI’s before . . . h mmm . . . 🙂
It is sooooooooo cute jestrfef!!! Thanks again!! 😀
Rock On Little Dude! 🙂
“Avalanche Stick” — classic!!
You don’t want to see what happens when that isn’t at your front door… How else do you expect friends to get to your front door in December?
(MET: Avalanche stick?)
Met, you wrote “All perfectly normal … avalanche stick, check. Home Sweet Home sign that spews acid, check … oh oh, that square aardvark is back …”
Yes, the avalanche stick 😀
At least it’s covered.
