flat4alfa Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Quote 'Talbot Matra Murena' marketed by Mattel/Hot Wheels, presumably from an old Polistil casting. Not Polistil - it was Mebetoys. Mattel bought Mebetoys in late-1960s (the Mebetoys creators went off to create BBurago). Production remained in Italy even as Mattel Mebetoys and also later rebranded again as Mattel Hot Wheels. The 1:43 range finished during the 1980s Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Yes please! To the 240z. I was kicking myself for being busy on the first Tat Friday of 2020 and I needn't have worried, your shite diecast memory stepped in to save the day. I also owe you for that SD1, let me know the total including p&p and I'll fire off a payment , unless you're happy to keep adding to my box of 70, s Corgis.

Yup, will do for all of those - though BB asked me to keep an eye out for a pale green A2000 Planet Scout a few months back, so will add it in to your box if he's found one elsewhere in the meantime!

Will have a look, certainly! If I'd had sufficient cash on me, I would have had both the R16 and the Rover P6... but I'll make a note on my 'looking for' list, so I know to nab any future R16s that appear. Same goes for anyone else - if there's anything in particular you've been looking for, let me know - preferences regarding desired condition and upper price also helpful!

MarvinsMom Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 7 hours ago, Datsuncog said: The Corgi Renault R16, with its cheerfully floppy seats, was all-original and certainly quite presentable. Ditto the James Bond Aston next to it. with regard to the preference condition of a Corgi Renner 16, well one just like that the one shown would be perfect, in nice original condition like that one. i don't mind a chip or two on the car like that, a toy which has had a life before i got its nice, certainly i think they are nicer like that as opposed to been all repainted,. price wise, £10 upto £15, thats gotta be enough to secure a really nice one, surely?

Spottedlaurel Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Is the purple Land Rover still available please? It'd replace the one I had as a youngster, which fell to bits but I think is still knocking around in component form somewhere at the bottom of my son's old toy box. Do you still have that Corgi Jaguar XJ-C I paid for a long time ago, thinking I would add something to it? I had the Ford camper when I was young, it survived well as I had it in my later years. Strangely it was many years before I realised it was a Mazda in disguise. 1:25 AMT Ertl Ford Courier kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Got this one to build someday.......

Vin Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I used to like that Matchbox Volvo F10...? I didn't have the cable drum version. The one I had was red with a blue Lion's cage on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the purple Land Rover is indeed available - and the blue Jag coupe is still safely tucked away for you. Happy to pair them up and send them over to you! Alternatively, I'll soon be posting up a bit of a clear-out, so if you fancy holding off in case anything of interest crops up, that's not a bother. Funnily enough, I had a similar green pickup version of the Land Rover which managed to fall to bits - think the baseplate and rivets parted company. Probably a bit late to write to Watchdog, now...

Hey, good stuff - and happy to add the 240Z to the SD1 and hold until desired. There's also that metallic blue Corgi Mercedes 350 SL from a few weeks back - I know I overpaid slightly for it, but I've had a month or two's enjoyment of it now, and I reckon it's time to move it on at a more realistic price. No obligation at all, but you'd mentioned you were after one - so wanted to give you first refusal on this at £7.

Datsuncog Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Heh, no worries! Will set that one aside for you too, thanks! I know... I'm like a diecast junkie-pusher down here - the tragedy is that my primary motivation for charging into work early on my day off was so I could sneak away and poke through the tat box, not to ensure the smooth running of government at a time of national crisis... priorities, right? That said, if the NI Assembly does get back on its feet - as apparently is imminent, tomorrow - I'm afraid that as of Monday I may have rather less free time to conduct my, ahem, personal research projects... Can't really complain, mind. The diecast musings on here (and the Ford Timelord thread) is pretty much what happens when a professional researcher is left in a research vacuum due to a collapse of political institutions - so I guess I've kinda been keeping my skills honed, in a self-directed manner?

DoctorRetro Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Here my haul. I got two Escorts as OMGSceneTaxYo might mean keeping a boxed one might be a good idea. The Chevy Nova is for my littlun as he's been obsessed with the Hyperdrive series on Netflix lately. The Mustang is a nice little model, I'm impressed with it 155V6, Split_Pin, egg and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
