Spotted this in the charity shop, but I think it must be a re-release, the box looked too glossy and new to be original

I have an original without box.  The drum on mine is metal. that one looks like it is plastic. Plus a petrol tanker of the same ERF lorry.

Just had a snout round the smaller local Tesco, nothing of any real interest on the pegs except one solitary Capri hiding at the very back. Anyone not got one yet? 

Just found two, and another new 5-pack - electric cars!

One Crapi is going to a mate, one in the custom box

Been after one of these for ages, like the condition, you can see it’s been enjoyed but cared for. But sadly missing the pipes. Easily remedied though with some 15mm copper pipe left over.

Finally managed to get mine complete after finding the trailer at the boot sale. Need a couple of tyres and of course the pipes

That was always one of my favourite castings tbh. I preferred it in the Esso wrecker guise, but the tipper and also this yellow pipe truck were all great. Much prefer the pre-Superfast wheels as well.

Some Matchbox British tin.

Trojan van.

Wolseley 1500. This was dug out of storage in the 1980's because I  had a white one myself. This model was painted in the touch-up paint I had for the real one. It was then sitting on the dash.

I’m so fecking happy this shop was open today. I walked past one evening last week and spotted this dodge van super king in the window. I immediately remembered having the van at school in the 90s on a “bring a toy to school” day. It got dropped and the front suspension broke. Said shop was open today, so I did a blues brothers style 180 parking manoeuvre outside the shop and shot in (slight exaggeration). £14 was exchanged and I left a happy man. Didn’t even know it came with a Porsche on a trailer until the other day. It’s near mint, one mirror and one wheel centre on the roof wheel missing. It’s awesome!!!

1986 Ford Taurus in OCP Detroit Police livery from RoboCop.

It's a Greenlight, so smudges inside the windows, but otherwise very well executed.

I used to have an OCP Taurus when I was a kid. It came with a RoboCop figure. Nostalgia!

That looks quite nice.  It should stand up neatly to conversion to  Mercury Sable spec and a coat of white paint...

Spot On MG PB. I had a number of Spot Ons. Including a milk float, Sunbeam Alpine, Ford Zephyr and bubble car.  I recall a I had an old shop which could have also been Spot made. All of these have disappeared. The range were my favourites. The detail and eh weight of each model was better than those offered by the other two manufactures of the day. They were more expensive so I was not gifted so  many.
