One day...

Oh and I put the Saint sticker on the P1800 I restored a while back 20200713_155422 by RS, on Flickr

Not catching deadly diseases and smelling other people's farts on the train - £priceless

Having finally secured a Majorette Renault 5, I can do a WDIB? - bet there's a Siku one too but it'll have to wait. Left to right, Matchbox, Majorette, Corgi, Majorette. 20200713_161743 by RS, on Flickr 20200713_161817 by RS, on Flickr 20200713_161835 by RS, on Flickr 20200713_161859 by RS, on Flickr Looking at them as two pairs, it's really quite hard to chose between the standard ones and the Turbos. While it's nice to find the mirrors intact on the Majorette and Corgi, they are a bit out of scale and an odd shape, especially on the Turbo Corgi. I do like the 80's "flashback" TURBO script on the Majorette. I think the standard Majorette is the nicest, and gets an accidental bonus point of having appropriate wheels for a three-bolt car

Found my Matchbox car transporter, so I can do a comparison with the Playmobil one 20200713_161504 by RS, on Flickr 20200713_161512 by RS, on Flickr 20200713_161523 by RS, on Flickr 20200713_161535 by RS, on Flickr 20200713_161558 by RS, on Flickr I hadn't noticed until now that the cars on the Playmobil aren't identical. The two transporters are almost the same, but at the back especially the copy lets itself down in detail and construction

Cool. Don't think I have one of those

A few more I've papped on my travels 20200705_115551 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_090529 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_090540 by RS, on Flickr

What's the pink Superfast at the back?

Last week was pants, this week the stalls were almost into the farmer's field next door. If it makes you feel any better I bought a cantilever toolbox and BMX Bandits on DVD too 😁

Nice mag - and did the seller know what they had with the 911?

The bigger Jag is on my hit list, but I'll try and find a complete one - tatty paint I can live with or sort out but I hate trying to make missing bits

Sweet

Right, here are the highlights of this morning's expedition. I don't really buy to sell but there are a few that were either making up the "4 for £1" numbers or cos I thought one of you lot might like them. They're all presented in "as found" condition, quite a few have now had a trip around the sink since and look a lot better for it! This one I did buy to sell on, as it's a Lucky Toys, and I've seen what their stuff goes for. Quite a large scale this one 20200712_123011 by RS, on Flickr This one is available for the £2 I paid for it cos I knew someone would want a 1:24 Bburago Fiat Panda! Not sure if it's a full repaint or if someone's just touched in the lights 20200712_123104 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_123113 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_123139 by RS, on Flickr Pretty much everything else is a keeper, starting with the Corgi SD1 - missing its dashboard but at £2 still a bargain 20200712_123205 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_123244 by RS, on Flickr Another £2 netted me this Dinky Merc, missing a headlight and battery cover 20200712_124934 by RS, on Flickr Everything from here was 50p or less 20200712_123425 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_123552 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_123617 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_123717 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_123817 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_124233 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_124339 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_124440 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_124515 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_124559 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_124642 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_124717 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130007 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130226 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130545 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130619 by RS, on Flickr No-name Hong Hong but metal base 20200712_130404 by RS, on Flickr Zylmex ambulance 20200712_130457 by RS, on Flickr A bit f*cked but the blue, towbar-less E30 cab has eluded me for ages 20200712_123517 by RS, on Flickr Poor Galaxie has had a hard life, blue light is there but pushed in - bonus spare tyre inside 20200712_123856 by RS, on Flickr Broken glass and a bent pillar 20200712_123953 by RS, on Flickr These always seem to lose their tyres 20200712_124039 by RS, on Flickr Never even seen one of these Mercedes coaches before 20200712_124753 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_124758 by RS, on Flickr Here's an oddball, I assumed this was a Husky but it's actually a really early Corgi Junior 20200712_125059 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_125122 by RS, on Flickr This one is a Husky 20200712_125215 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_125229 by RS, on Flickr Grabbed this as eventually an engineless one is sure to surface 20200712_125314 by RS, on Flickr The two RO80s, I need to have a look at my stash but at least one will be up for grabs 20200712_125348 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_125424 by RS, on Flickr I know this one is something of a rarity, hopefully a screen from something else can be fitted 20200712_125706 by RS, on Flickr There were two of these with different colour bases - I think I grabbed the one I don't have already 20200712_125742 by RS, on Flickr Corgi GT70 is not one I'd seen before, currently soaking to get rid of the bloody Plasticine in the engine bay 20200712_125837 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_125843 by RS, on Flickr Collapsed front suspension but complete with tailgate 20200712_130145 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130157 by RS, on Flickr Here's where things got a bit expensive - £4 each but did three for £10 so I bought six... 20200712_130055 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130051 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130100 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130259 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130255 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130328 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130323 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_131012 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_131023 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_131057 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_131101 by RS, on Flickr 20200712_130926 by RS, on Flickr

Yeah and it's a lovely one too. In some ways I wish I'd seen the guy with the stand I pictured first, as he had some lovely stuff for well below eBay prices, but he was as the 2nd boot sale I attended and I had to borrow a few quid off SWMBO to pay for what I got!

I had a rather more successful morning at the boot sale Full report to follow but there were some definite bargains If anyone sees anything here they fancy, he'll be back next week - larger loose cars were £5 and the Matchbox size £4 or three for £10 - more than normal boot sale prices but out of a collection and the smaller stuff especially left me with an empty wallet...
