Shite in Miniature II

Celebrated my first day in the actual physical real-life office in well over a year with a trip to Twickenham Poundland.

Therein, I broke my self-enforced fast from Hot Wheels procurement because this was hanging from the hook. For £1.50. In Poundland. Go figure.

Gorgeous casting, though, and if that colour and trim combo was ever offered on the Prelude in the UK, I'd certainly have plumped for it.20e9ba04740c713caf4ff179e5f61958.jpg

I'll be scouting Tesco daily! In the mean time, here are the highlights from the 9-pack I bought. 

GMC pickup is a decent casting, I did consider getting the pack that are all in this livery but this was the main one I liked

This will doubtless be most people's favourite

914 looks really good in silver

Not for me Doc, but thank you.

Meanwhile, I slipped into Tesco on the way to my lockup this morning to see what was unpacked yesterday.  Nothing exciting, unfortunately.  Best were the yellow 1941 Cadillac and the green metallic 75 Impala; there was a time when I would have snapped them both up just to have the different colours, but that time seems to have passed.  Amazing what poverty can do!

Hmm..   This seems to have happened

I like that - are you looking to sell the lot or individually? 

Bit cheeky but if you'll take £5 for all of them or £2 each on the Fuego and 2CV? You won't have to post them if you're still going into Chelmsford either

I think the lone Star trucks might generate a couple of quid themselves on t'bay.

Them plus the Guisval Espace and Majorette Lybra being half decent mean I'll do the individuals 😁

I had a couple of hours spare so rushed around like a madman trying all the usual suspects. Found this in Entertainer

I'll have to get the hairdryer on it later

Now - I'm not especially into monster trucks, but I do like VWs, and I think a bit of wee came out in Asda when I found this, there just aren't any in the UK it seems. The previous blue version seems to have missed us entirely
