sierraman Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I’m that nob head that goes ‘I had one of those...’ on everything but I remember having the Spiderman van at my grandmas, along with my Ertl Fall Guy pick up I used to run it up and down the path. I don’t know why but I always used to get bought Buddy L, Tonka and Ertl gear from the jumble sales as a kid, particularly remember my other nan getting me a Tonka Triumph TR7 and the Buddy L pick ups with the steering that worked off the light bar above the cab.

bunglebus Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Right, some smaller stuff. Picked up a handful of tidy Corgis including this one that's part of a set - Bond? Minty Grabbed a handful of Hot Wheels blackwalls including this Thunderbird Give £5 for this carry case - which earned me a discount on several cars that were in it I always pick these up if they have uncracked pillars and all the spotlights - as this does I find these hard to resist too Think this is the earliest car I found So clean, shame about the stickers Came back with half a dozen Super GTs, this is the only one I hadn't found before Clean Tyrone Malone - did this come as part of a set? Only I found this in the tub too Never leave a 30p Supervan behind! This a shame - very stomped on World Class I have the Superkings version of this in the same colour There's a whole bunch of Convoy stuff A few Majorettes Finally some waifs, strays and wierdos. Shame one of these Buddy Ls is broken This is a good find - Rainbow Toys Mercedes SL ...and a bonus Escort Summer? Yatming Another Lido Gun-of-a-Car - why is it always the Renault? andrew e, Split_Pin, AndyW201 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's from a late version of the Corgi Juniors Emergency 999 playset, I think. I had a Duple Vista coach with similar 'smoke effect' paint up the side, from this earlier set. bunglebus, Split_Pin and andrew e 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah I knew you'd mentioned it before. Is there a Cortina with oil up the screen in a Bond set? Must be what I'm thinking of.

You are thinking of the Mercedes 240d that was supposed to be the Cortina that was in The Spy Who Loved Me? It had some grey shit on the front and screen. Forgot to include one from yesterday, an avocado Cosmobile, supposedly the rare one from the Adventure 2000 set, already got one so duly wang it on eBay. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Bank Holiday boot sale bonus day, decided to try a different one - found some good stuff but at least half the stalls were market type with brand new goods. A few interesting/comedy bits; And the cars. Plenty of older Matchbox and Corgi etc, got a good haul of Hot Wheels blackwalls and Ultra Hots too. Prices were a bit all over the place so a few went back in the box when too much was asked! One dealer had loads of interesting things but all jumbled together with broken cars and parts, fished out a few but don't feel I exactly got a bargain This was from said dealer, I know nothing about it but it's pressed steel and plastic, 1:43 and from Czechoslovakia This Bedford CA was also part of the deal And this Daytona rounding off the bigger cars are a Super Kings Brabham BT44B from the KP1 series that saw various older castings released in new colours with no decals - 50p for this one... and one third of a 3-for-£1 deal was this Scammell. Looks clean but is missing the grille and the towbar is broken D.E, Datsuncog, AndyW201 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 For the smaller stuff, got quite a few earlyish Matchbox all of which have been on here before so I won't post them all. These two I weren't something I'd laid eyes on before though Very clean ambulance Cav should always be bought if found as they seem to be harder to track down Yet another version of the Corgi Merc bus And another H.W. fake Matchbox Really early Majorette has been overpainted but appears complete ERTL Excaliber - never heard of the show/actor? Lots of Ultra Hots and Blackwalls This one reminds me of a kustom Morris Minor that was about in the 80s Redline Oddball transformer buggy Lone Star bus And another oddball - plastic MK1 Golf that I don't know the maker of Datsuncog, AndyW201, morrisoxide and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 @bunglebus the nice Tatra truck is by KDN / Kaden, one of the big Czech toy companies. Moderately collectable I think. They also did nice 1:43 plastic Czech cars - And also obviously they did a range based on the Politoys 1:41 plastic cars (pre-M Series) bunglebus, eddyramrod, RayMK and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Matt Houston, who did drive an Excalibur, was supposedly a wealthy Texan who moved to California and got mixed up in private-eye-type adventures. He was played by Lee Horsley who had previously played the "junior" detective to, IIRC, William Conrad as Nero Wolfe. I've spent far too muh time in front of the telly!

I had a good look at the base and it's KS Toys. Annoyed with myself for not checking the bottom of the box for the roofrack, slim chance I know but... It's apparently a Majorette copy, so there's Mercedes 450 and St Tropez caravan to find too Split_Pin, Datsuncog, andrew e and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
