Split_Pin Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Mine all languished in a big box in the loft, still unopened until one day when I decided to clear a shelf, pop open all the Japanese cars and display them. I can enjoy them a bit more now! Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Haven't seen all of those in Tesco yet, rally Porsche and 33 Plymouth are on my hit list. I think Matchbox have a different number for each colour as they don't make as many different cars as Hot Wheels, who changed their numbering system for 2020. They used to do the same but revised it to a number per casting instead Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Can anyone tell me what would have been on this Tonka trailer, and what towed it? Base says 1978 and 812264. Looks like it should carry a narrow wheel racing car going by the wheel troughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hopefully your MK1 will be better than mine - there's a casting line so bad on the rear quarter panel that the artist drew it in the catalogues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Ah I meant the MK1 Escort. Every time I try and sort mine out it frustrates me how bad the casting is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Those mid seventies Solidos are nice things. Well proportioned and nice detail. I used to have around 8 or 9, all MIB but found them strangely impossible to sell. I had to give them away in the end which was a shame. I've still got the R12 break and Peugeot 504 though as they were my favourites. Sudsprint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
