Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 **EDIT - ALL TAKEN!!** Further (newer) Iron Curtain chod: Wartburg in sedan and pickup format, and a Yugo Sana. Wartburgs opened, Yugo still sealed. Again, £2 each - all three for £5. (Postage and stuff to be worked out, otherwise this could get needlessly complex.)
Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 **EDIT - CIELO AND MOSKVICH TAKEN!!** And still more of these Eastern partwork models: Dacia 1309 (effectively a Renault 12 crew cab); Daewoo Cielo (Nexia), Moskvich 408/412 and an off-road oddity in the form of a LUAZ 969M. Dacia and Daewoo previously opened, the others still sealed. Again, £2 each. warch 1
Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 **EDIT - THESE THREE GONE!!** Many here will be familiar with the Russian service vehicle partworks which Poundland sold about eight years ago; I had a fair few of them. Two UAZ Bukhankas, and a RAF fire support vehicle, all previously opened. Rock bottom prices at £1 each!
Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 And more: Transitsky security van, Moskvitch box van, and a big bus thing. All opened, but all going out the door at £1 a pop. **BIG BUS THING TAKEN!!** warch and Shite Ron 2

I posted earlier about he differing details on the bas of these small Corgis. Here we have The Ford Sierra and Jag XJ40. One as bold as a badgers ass whilst the other is very detailed. I've got a handful of Volvo 740s that are about as detailed as that XJ40. Remspoor 1
Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 **EDIT - NOW GONE!!** Russian Peelermobiles, in the form of a Lada and a GAZ, plus a little Moskvich woody. Again, £1 each.
Remspoor Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 11 hours ago, bunglebus said: As I understand it Corgi sold a load of castings, and later re-acquired them so they'd had all the info underneath removed. Some don't have any name at all but are clearly Corgi castings - Merc bus Buick Regal - there are various changes to the wording, number of rivets, addition of slots for the version with side exit exhausts and made in Britain/China Thanks for the explanation. I am still a little confused on this. I know the story of castings is confusing. I have been trying to look at the hobbybaseDB site But these small red and blue boxed vehicles do not often show up. Maybe I am not using the right filters.
Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 **EDIT - NOW SOLD!!** Lastly for this round, a pair of taxis: GAZ M20 Pobeda, and a late-era Volga cab. £1 takes each of them.

Shame there's no Corgi Wiki like there is for Matchbox and Hot Wheels, I wouldn't have a clue how to make one, I can just about upload a picture to the gallery and someone usually edits it afterwards Remspoor 1
Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Smaller scale stuff now: Hongwell Cararama 1/72 items, mint and boxed. **VEHICLES IN PIC 1 NOW SOLD!!** Ford Puma along with the Focus RS is quite sought-after, I believe - Pug 807 along with a 206 cabrio also an unusual choice. £2 each on the double packs, £1 each on the Sprinter van and GMC pickup. Assorted German vehicles, boxed - £1.50 each, or all seven for £8. Pack of six police vehicles - fiver. **EDIT - ALL TRUCKS ETC IN THE LAST PIC SPOKEN FOR!!** Trucks, £2 each - and emergency rescue set up for £5. Might be of some interest to @diecastcollect?
Rover414 Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 @Datsuncogis it possible to have all of the Cararamas in the top pic please? Datsuncog 1
RoadworkUK Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Oooo. Of partworks, please reserve me Daewoo Cielo, FSO Polonez, Niva and big Soviet bus thing (the latter managed to evade me when Pfundland was full of commie conveyances). Datsuncog 1
bunglebus Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 I was looking through the Hot Wheels 10 packs in Smyths to see if any contained this Lotus, as my friend collects this casting and this colour scheme has been spotted among the 10s. Didn't find any, but I did find this Looking closer That is a Flying Customs 55 Chevy, and should not be in that multi-pack junkyarddog 1
eddyramrod Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Oh DAMN, too late on the Polonez! What scale is the Cararama police set please?

Cararama police are 1/72 scale (or thereabouts...) Apologies, I thought I'd found you a Polonez last year, or else I would have messaged you first! Can't rightly remember now what happened; things all got a bit muddled... eddyramrod 1
RoadworkUK Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Hey DC, by all means pass the Polonez in Eddy's direction. His need is much greater than mine. eddyramrod 1
