Jon Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Just a quickie photo, from a listing on Trademe for some old Matchbox collectors mags (MICA). The batch of mags on offer are from 1986-93 and I'm wondering if there's maybe some more up to date info anywhere - like any further ones which have been discovered, etc. 3 known survivors is a pretty small number!

bunglebus Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Interesting - I wonder what the casting difference was? http://www.fcarnahan.com/pg/45avauxall.html Toymart value a mint/boxed red one at...£3293! It seems a yellow one with the early casting is even rarer Jon and Sudsprint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogchod Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Just bought myself a birthday present. I've blown way to much dosh on a Brooklin Models 1967 Buick Wildcat. So what do you get for too much money ? Some fancy packaging : Containing a very posh box: Off course, as soon as this arrived another popped up on ebay for 2/3 of what I just paid ....

Shite Ron Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 After getting my 1:43 models on display a couple of weeks ago, I decided to start searching for more models. Mk1 Granada estates and mk4 Cortina estates are available but ridiculous money, my search eventually led me to Jumajo in France who had a selection of nice models at sensible prices so I decided to order a few and they arrived today! Mucho excitement! I am very impressed with Jumajo, I had daily updates of the models journey and a very accurate arrival date. Nice models at a good price compared to Vanguards etc. I clearly made a mistake not checking the scale of the SM. I highly recommend Jumajo and may purchase more in the future as I would love to modify some to look like my real cars. If I could make miniature numberplates and move the steering wheel to the correct side they would be even more amazing. andrew e, Sudsprint, AndyW201 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IXO model in DeAgostini partwork packaging https://shop.jumajo.fr/products/it12g-voiture-1-43-ixo-deagostini-balkans-fiat-132 £5.20 inc VAT is good. So no customs slap on that box then?

AndyW201 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I've been looking to push the button on that gold Taunus Ghia myself. It would go perfectly with my gold Vanguards MK4 Ghia. I've had quite a few Opel models from Jumajo myself and have nothing but good things to say about them. Burnside and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I’d love to display some decent models but I’ve got a four year old car enthusiast in the house, so we settle for a shelf full of Matchboxes in her room for now. Sudsprint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Snowing, can't do anything to my projects - spent a few hours scanning and cropping the 1975 Dinky catalogue. Doesn't seem to be a lot here we haven't seen before, other than the emergence of the re-designed Transit Remspoor, flat4alfa, Split_Pin and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I seem over the years to have had most of those late 70’s Dinkies but few of them appealed in the long term unlike the Corgis. I probably picked them up at the height of the ‘anything Dinky is worth a place at Sothebys’. Probably for me the most fascinating are the Convoy series of generic trucks, a sort of last stab at trying to make the concept work at a time when Dinky was seen as old hat.

I should of said if you are buying more than one item go to their website, it is much cheaper than ebay as postage is combined, hence me getting carried away! https://shop.jumajo.fr/collections/citroen?page=6 Edited for flat4alfa, no I did not get done for customs, I was a bit concerned this could happen but there was no problem. Jumajo even gave me a 5% discount on checkout. I am very impressed with the Chevette, the arches look a bit flared but otherwise it is great.

Jon Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 My bank balance is happy to declare that the French part works depository site doesn't post to New Zealand. Lucky escape, as although I often shun modern stuff, there's much to tempt. More importantly @Shite Ron - nice collection of Hornsea Heirloom in the background. Here's a couple of awful photos of some of ours - please excuse the dust, as they're high up on shelves! We actually plan on using them as well as displaying them, when we finally get round to a kitchen redesign. All our other Hornsea gets used regularly but we do have over 100 plates, so some of them are used more than others! andrew e, Datsuncog, eddyramrod and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I had a look at Jumajo last night - eBay shop - and recoiled in horror at the prices. Maybe I should go to the website instead..... Shite Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Soooo... spent quite a long time last night on the Jumajo webshop. Even with only selecting models I really, really want (as opposed to ones that are simply very cheap, or variants of ones I already have), we're still looking at €€€... yow. Postage of €23.10 isn't outrageous for quite a few models though, and it claims that all taxes are included. Having heard horror stories of people being hammered for extra charges by couriers on delivery in the UK, this is of course a concern... But they are exceedingly tempting. 4 hours ago, Shite Ron said: Jumajo even gave me a 5% discount on checkout.
