Quneitra was once a bustling town in the Golan Heights and southwestern Syria's administrative capital with a population of 37,000. The word Quneitra derives from Qantara, or 'bridge', between Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine. Known for its abundant water resources, it has been continuously inhabited since the Stone Age. Over the millennia, many peoples, including Arameans, Assyrians, Caldeans, Persians, Greeks, and Arabs have occupied it. St. Paul, it is said, passed through Quneitra on his way from Damascus to Jerusalem.
In 1967, during the six-day war, Israel captured Quneitra. It then became a site of many battles but, except for a brief interlude, remained in Israeli hands until 1974, when a UN-brokered agreement led to an Israeli pullback. Before withdrawing, however, Quneitra was evacuated and systematically destroyed by the Israeli army (based on eyewitness accounts; UN General Assembly resolution 3240 in 1974 condemned Israel's role in its destruction. Israel disputes this account). Many prominent Western reporters, agreeing with the UN and Syrian version of events, saw this as nothing short of an act of wanton brutality — a whole town methodically ransacked, dynamited, and bulldozed.
Hi everyone! I recently build this BMW 3.0 CLS imaginary tuned for group B. Since I was a kid I always wanted to build a real car look alike, and NOW after almost 10 years of absence of Lego, I build this in some 2-3 weeks tweaked out like this.
It has functional steering mechanism and 2 mid pullback engines.
Details include: perfect fitted angled front sing, all 3 review mirrors, dashboard, seats, gear stick, handbrake, roll bar, MASSIVE side air vents, 3 round sing imitations, doorknobs, HUGE rear wing, small rear diffuser and 2 chrome exhaust.
This is actually product of me organizing and tidying up my Lego collection... which is in pieces he he as I always wanted to build something new :). Although, I have kept all my instructions safe and even after almost 10 years since I got my last model as a kid, I remember from which exact model are borrowed bricks. And this is the list : Red Dragster 5533 (red parts and few black), Star Wars Pod Race 7171(black parts and details), Hot Buster 8382, Zonic Strike 8357, Wlliams F1 1/27 8374 (black parts, engines&wheels), steering mechanism, handle wheel and other technic parts from big TECHNIC 8446 and 2 BIONICLE gears.
This is only version of a kinda real car I could build with my bricks. I could build it in classic, non tuned way, but my brick collection allows only this way and I kinda can not manage to have a Lego found here in Croatia :/ .

Theres no doubt that the new generation Defender has been a huge success for Land-Rover and one which hasn't gone unnoticed by various toy makers. Strangely though the more popular 110 version hasn't been modelled in 1/64 scale at the toy end of the market, the likes of Matchbox, Majorette and Siku preferring the shorter 90.
Step forward Yuze Toys who have bucked that trend even if it is an unlicensed effort and very much a cheapo representation. Casting finesse and high detailing won't be found here but for a collector of the weird and wonderful I do admire its bulky construction and glossy metallic paint finish as well as intricate alloy effect wheels. Its upper body is one piece plastic, just like the Matchbox version, which is totally blanked out to hide its pullback motor.

Xin Yu Toys are a Chinese toy manufacturer who have quite the array of diecasts in their arsenal. Ranging from really cheapo Yatming knock offs to better quality offerings like this American style school bus their products are widely available and often sold under their own name and their offshoot Kimscardi brand.
Like all their diecasts this is an unlicensed casting which is almost certainly a copy of the original Siku Freightliner-Thomas Saf-T-Liner FS-65 even down to its robust quality and finely cast bodywork. It features the obligatory pullback function and rides on some seriously intricate and realistic wheels too.
I did think this was the same model bus I bought from Tedi earlier this year but in true Chinese fashion its actually just a copy, that one I've since discovered wasn't made by Xin Yu Toys but by Tianna Toys/T.NA.

The novelty/tat chain store Ale-Hop rarely sell diecasts but when they do invariably they are cheapo unbranded and unlicensed efforts sold in Ale-Hop branded packaging.
My recent visit to Spain yielded these vintage era trucks in my nearest two Ale-Hop stores and which cost just one Euro each. Made by a company called Qizhuo Toys its thought to be based on a 1937 Reo Speed Delivery and available in more modern era body styles such as this canvas topped truck in Police livery.
Charming in a cheapo kind of way and features a metal cab and pullback function.

Yes, I ate some when I was done and before I took this pullback view...
And, yes, I spilled on my shirt.
The SNOT bracketing represent the front and rear bumpers. The office is the 1x3 and TT cockpit combo. Flares are the slopes and fenders. Other than that, I'm scared about bloating the model beyond recognition, and besides I wouldn't be able to get the stripes on. But after seeing the new Tudor USC-spec Z4 GTE's BatCSL-inspired livery, I got the urge to replicate the model in the smallest scale that can use the new pullback piece with full force. I searched for a 4-wide Z4 model, found it, and then chucked it, because it looked more like a Cadillac big-engine concept than an actual Z4.
Well, good luck to my butt, I guess.
Also, when will Tommy-senpai notice me?

Welly 1/64
Welly No. 52069
Car: MINI Cooper
Year: 2001
Color: Liquid Yellow
I already have a MINI Cooper from Welly but the one I have has the US Flag on the roof instead of just black paint. Checking the photo of the base of that car, it seems that it used a different base code than this one, but that is probably because the one I already have is a pullback version while this one isn't. This one came in a Speed City packaging but I am not sure if it's a new release or just a recycled one from previous years. I do wish it had a different body color though because it really looks similar to the one I already have.

Pullback shot showing the setup used to photograph baby chicks. The stage is a plastic cutting board supported by two large coffee cups, illuminated from below by a strobe firing into an angled white card.. The strobe at right provides hard, grazing light to highlight chest feathers and produce catchlights for the eyes. (This one gets moved around some.)
The illuminated background is a nylon panel backed with a BCA photoflood (just a light bulb, basically) and the seamless backdrop is a sheet of inkjet paper.

¡A la venta en Chile! Ya los había conseguido desde Inglaterra (ripituc.blogspot.com/2011/03/haima-3-en-143.html) pero ahora los vi en un kiosko de Av. 11 de Septiembre y no los pude dejar ahí.
Llama la atención el empaque, con frases como "Galant: Enjoy for first", o "Small and exquisite car pocket mini go well up to bridle the ultimate winner".
Son plásticos y a fricción. También han sido reportados en Holanda y Perú. Me encantaría saber si su fabricante también ha sacado otros modelos.

Ju Xing, amongst others, make their own interpretation of this bus who's identity still eludes me and one which is unlikely to be of a completely generic design. Available in normal and pullback variants its perfectly acceptable quality wise for its low price point with a decent amount of metal in its construction and a full interior.
Found recently at Hiper Garaf.
Mint and boxed.

Stocks have jumped out of the gate in the first two months of the year, clawing back the lion's share of last year's steep third quarter losses. In particular, cyclical sectors such as technology, energy and real estate have seen substantial inflows as investors cheer a more dovish Federal Reserve, ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, and a round of quarterly earnings that have exceeded Wall Street's expectations. Also, the chances of the economy slipping into recession look to have reduced.
"Because the markets weakened and Fed officials now see that the economy and inflation are weak, there has been a shift to an easier stance," wrote Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, a Connecticut-based hedge fund. "I have lowered my odds of a U.S. recession coming prior to the U.S. presidential election to about 35%," he continued, per a note on LinkedIn.
Those who want to take advantage of 2019's top performing sectors should consider using leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are specifically designed to magnify short-term price movements. For example, if an index comprising technology stocks is up 1%, a tracking leveraged ETF providing three times exposure would be up 3%. Traders should be aware that leveraged ETFs reset daily – therefore, returns over a holding period of more than one day may not reflect the fund's advertised leverage due to compounding effects. Let's consider several trading ideas relating to leveraged sector ETFs.
Direxion Daily Technology Bull 3X ETF (TECL)
Created in 2008, the Direxion Daily Technology Bull 3X ETF (TECL) seeks to provide three times the daily return of the Technology Select Sector Index. The benchmark index consists of U.S. large-cap technology names such as Apple Inc. (AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) and Google parent company Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL). The fund's tight 0.08% average spread and daily turnover of more than 400,000 shares make it a suitable instrument for all forms of short-term trading. TECL, with assets under management (AUM) of $550.57 million and offering a 0.39% dividend yield, is up 45.76% year to date (YTD) as of Feb. 28, 2019. The ETF charges a 1.17% management fee, which has a minimal impact on short stays.
After bottoming out at $68.96 in late December, TECL's share price has rallied almost 80% to close at $123.56 on Feb. 27. Traders who want to capitalize on this strongly trending market should look for entry points on pullbacks to the 20-day simple moving average (SMA). If the fund's price continues higher, the SMA can then be used as a trailing stop to let profits run. Those who hold open positions should consider moving the stop to the breakeven point when the price nears $130 – an area where it may find resistance from the 200-day SMA.
Direxion Daily Energy Bull 3X ETF (ERX)
The Direxion Daily Energy Bull 3X ETF (ERX), with net assets that exceed $400 million, aims to return three times the daily investment results of the Energy Select Sector Index. Energy sector heavyweights Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) and Chevron Corporation (CVX) dominate the underlying index, carrying a cumulative weighting of 41.75%. Tight spreads and deep liquidity make this ETF an energy trader's favorite. The fund yields 2.29% and has an expense ratio of just over 1%. As of Feb. 28, 2019, ERX has returned 46.27%.
The ERX share price fell off a cliff in the fourth quarter of 2018, following oil prices sharply lower. The fund bottomed in late December on climactic volume and has since tracked higher with only minor retracements. Those who wish to ride the upward momentum should enter on dips to $22, where the price finds a confluence of support from a two-month uptrend line and 20-day SMA. Traders could set take-profit orders at key resistance levels such as $26 and $32. Close open positions if the price falls much below the trendline, as this invalidates the short-term momentum setup.
Direxion Daily MSCI Real Estate Bull 3x ETF (DRN)
Launched in 2009, the Direxion Daily MSCI Real Estate Bull 3x ETF (DRN) attempts to replicate three times the daily performance of MSCI US REIT Index. The fund, with AUM of $43.66 million, suits traders who want an aggressive play in equity real estate investment trusts (REITs). It tilts more toward commercial REITs than the tracked index but still provides ample exposure to residential real estate.
Top allocations in the benchmark include Simon Property Group, Inc. (SPG) at 6.61%, Prologis, Inc. (PLD) at 4.70% and Public Storage (PSA) at 4.04%. A 0.63% average spread may eat too much into profits for scalpers but shouldn't overly affect swing traders who can let winning trades run over several days to cover slightly higher trading costs. DRN charges a management fee of 1.09% and has returned 41.86% YTD as of Feb. 28, 2019.
DRN shares rallied above their August 2018 peak earlier this month but have recently backed away from those highs to provide a swing trading opportunity. The fund's price should find solid support at the current price from a horizontal line that connects the July and December swing highs. Traders may want to wait for a reversal candlestick pattern, such as hammer or piercing line, to confirm that upward momentum has resumed before opening a position. Think about placing a stop-loss order under this month's low and booking profits on a test of the 2016 high at $28.64.
