bunglebus Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Finally some new Matchbox in Tesco, but only these 4 on the pegs - did ask but got the stock response about what's out is all they have. B*ll*cks it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Here's today's haul. First up, 8 ball Roger Dodger. Not the Super Treasure Hunt sadly Next up, found the ID car of the Twin Mill Quite like the Surfin' School Bus Don't always go in for X Racers but I like this - I really wish Matell would do some that are stock cars and just completely clear Integrale is going to be a popular one There aren't many generics that float my boat but Head Gasket is quite funky I usually pick up the new colours of Surf N Turf when I see them These next two are very cool - GT-40... ...and Porsche 935 in a very familiar paint scheme Then two Matchbox, beautiful 914 and Dodge D200 Tenmil Socket, AndyW201, andrew e and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the new ones sell initially, then they hang around for ages. In this case there was room on the pegs for four cars, so that's all they put out, and the woman I asked pulled a CBA when I asked if there were more Found the matching Porker to today's find I wonder if they will also do the 935 with the reversed colours? There's a Corvette C7 coming soon with matching paint to a previous release too. I like when they do this, and the b*st*rds know I'll have to buy it!

flat4alfa Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 These are the 2021 'UK' series cards. Interesting there is a Swedish Scania there and worse, a Dutch-built Mini. No idea if these are destined for these UK shores, but probably not as all the (re)sellers I've seen are in Germany: Likewise the 'Cadillac' range. Apparently exclusive to Walmart in the US. antony denman, AndyW201, warch and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Here in my front bedroom model room/office, I have a pair of waist-high bookshelves back to back in the middle of the room. I've lined up some 1/43 cars on top to make two classic-car-show displays. On the Classics side I have 18 cars, and could double that without too much effort. They're a bit too closely-packed for the space available though. The other side is the Autoshite side, and stands at 11; much better spacing. I really should get some 1/43 people to stand around among the cars! Burnside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 MINIC MOTORWAYS I now nothing of them. But do have this little Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. It's a bit short in length, taking the average scaling to be approx 1:69 It came in bits so can I assume it's borked... the self-tapper doesn't inspire confidence.

The model has what I would have to describe as a panoramic windscreen but all the rest is Scimitar, the only model of it I've seen. The copcar might be a 1978-ish Pontiac Bonneville. flat4alfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
