Danbury Mint!

ok guys i figured ill just bring this up because im bored and i just got home. Ok here is the deal my frined(13 btw) has a 1.24 scale danbury mint 63 vette pro coupe i think. He got it as a gift from his mothers boss about 6 months ago. The kid has no idea what he has in his hands, the detail is just amazing, he lets the car sit in on the floor, w/o opening it often. I want this model so much im begging him to give it to me since he doenst care, but his mom keeps telling him it is a collectors item, the only reason i want it is that he is VERY VERY destructive and when he gets angry he throws his stuff. This car has been thrown 2 or 3 times against the wall, but thank god it stayed in the box and nothing was harmed...


sorry for the long read ... just felt like bringing it up!

Re: Danbury Mint!

Re: Danbury Mint!

You better find a way to convince his mother into giving it up. It should work out considering he has no idea what he has.

Re: Danbury Mint!

yup thats it, and his is in perfect condition, i thinght about it and there is nun wrong with getting it, i mean it going to end up broken, and he doesnt even like models, he had a jada dub city avalance and he threw it against a wall, im not making fun of him but he has anger issues and its not worth seeing it end up like that!

Re: Danbury Mint!

he has anger problems.. just try to convince him that it is worth nothing.. tell his mom that you looked online and found nothing of value on the car.. and then take it home and put it on display very nice in your house :-D

Re: Danbury Mint!

wow alot of feedback on this, well last night i was over his house and me got a huge punishment! he is on "lockdown" as they call it ... so that blew my chances for a while, but i cant really lie to her by saying its not expencive, but i kinda want to just let it slide over her ... and i cant trade him because he doenst even like model cars, like i told he he threw a DUB city against his wall! I MUST GET THIS MODEL THO!


editt; also he was willing to sell it to me for 25 bucks but than he said accually i got to ask my mom 1st ... i was like DAM IT!! his mom got home she was really tired and he asked her and she gave him no anwser at all .. so its still a maybe .. but like i said he got a huge punishment after that so im going to have to wait ... any other ideas that i can try to get him to give it up!
