Feeling lucky today?

I visited a local hobby shop last week and was surprised to find an opened Tomica Mini Cooper Selection Lottery Set. As far as I know from our local distributor, this Lottery set was sold out.
I remember getting the whole box set a few years ago since I prefer to have the complete set of the Mini Coopers. In fact, I got 2 sets but passed-on the extra set to a
friend.

There were only around 7-8pcs left in the shop and all individual boxes were still sealed. I wanted to have extras of the Red with #177 Tampo & Green with British Flag on Roof so I decided to check my luck.

Actual item I bought still sealed in original plastic...




Let's cut the plastic...



Take a peek inside...


Was I lucky that day?
Oooops!




I wasn't! Nevertheless, I still got the Gold with Australian Flag on roof and not the plain Gold. I was still lucky!

Nothing beats the feeling of suspense that I got, might go back to the hobby shop again this week and try my luck. =)
