bunglebus Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 As you may have seen, @barrettbought a job lot after I posted it on the miniature eBay tat thread, and we negotiated some of the spoils coming my way. Here's a few of them, most are in very nice condition too I need @junkyarddog's skills to fix the grille on this Dodge Dragster - I have another with the grille broken on the same side There are several tidy Superfast era cars And some earlier ones too - funny enough I had all of these Matchbox already, but these examples are far better than my existing ones First time I've found one of these with the roof intact This is the only one that's new to me, Pontiac Convertible. Shame about that screen I had both versions of the Beetle (different colour glass), but mine were quite shabby compared to this pair I was bidding on a lot that included a "VOLKSWAGON" base but it got too expensive, one day... A couple of Corgis - Whizzwheels Marcos is a revised casting from the Rockets/Growlers one Rockets Jensen is very cool in lairy pink This was chucked in FOC - no idea what it is, Kinder maybe?

bunglebus Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Matchbox XR4i came to hand earlier as I was putting my Hot Wheels away, as I found two Cosworths I thought I'd open one for comparison Tenmil Socket, Cookiesouwest, andrew e and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remspoor Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 This is this another version of the Ford Sierra. I posted earlier about he differing details on the bas of these small Corgis. Here we have The Ford Sierra and Jag XJ40. One as bold as a badgers ass whilst the other is very detailed. AndyW201 and warch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Wife bought me this as a reward for spending two nights in sub zero temperatures mending her car. Apparently they’re on offer on a website at £2.50 each which wasn’t bad. AndyW201, Tenmil Socket, Amishtat and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it Corgi sold a load of castings, and later re-acquired them so they'd had all the info underneath removed. Some don't have any name at all but are clearly Corgi castings - Merc bus Buick Regal - there are various changes to the wording, number of rivets, addition of slots for the version with side exit exhausts and made in Britain/China Datsuncog and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Right then, kids and kidettes of all ages... some more diecast to clear coming through. I've spent a fair chunk of this week sorting through stuff, so apologies for the volume - there's quite a lot. I've grouped the pics into similar items where possible, just to keep some sort of flow, and while selling by joblot is preferred for reasons of getting stuff gone, I can be flexible... Also, keeping in mind that late January can often be a time where cashflow is tight, I'm happy to set stuff aside til February, if that helps! Basically, these will all be available for a week. After that, whatever remains will be going to Market Blokey for whatever I can get for them. Needs must, and all that. Let's go... UPDATE 24/01/2022: these models have now all gone - either to individual shiters, or as part of the joblot sold on 21 January. Sorry if you missed anything!

Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 **EDIT - THESE THREE GONE!!** Many here will be familiar with the Russian service vehicle partworks which Poundland sold about eight years ago; I had a fair few of them. Two UAZ Bukhankas, and a RAF fire support vehicle, all previously opened. Rock bottom prices at £1 each! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still a little confused on this. I know the story of castings is confusing. I have been trying to look at the hobbybaseDB site But these small red and blue boxed vehicles do not often show up. Maybe I am not using the right filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 **EDIT - NOW SOLD!!** Lastly for this round, a pair of taxis: GAZ M20 Pobeda, and a late-era Volga cab. £1 takes each of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame there's no Corgi Wiki like there is for Matchbox and Hot Wheels, I wouldn't have a clue how to make one, I can just about upload a picture to the gallery and someone usually edits it afterwards Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Smaller scale stuff now: Hongwell Cararama 1/72 items, mint and boxed. **VEHICLES IN PIC 1 NOW SOLD!!** Ford Puma along with the Focus RS is quite sought-after, I believe - Pug 807 along with a 206 cabrio also an unusual choice. £2 each on the double packs, £1 each on the Sprinter van and GMC pickup. Assorted German vehicles, boxed - £1.50 each, or all seven for £8. Pack of six police vehicles - fiver. **EDIT - ALL TRUCKS ETC IN THE LAST PIC SPOKEN FOR!!** Trucks, £2 each - and emergency rescue set up for £5. Might be of some interest to @diecastcollect?

bunglebus Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I was looking through the Hot Wheels 10 packs in Smyths to see if any contained this Lotus, as my friend collects this casting and this colour scheme has been spotted among the 10s.
