I tried to walk away. I really did. But I bought the red 850 last year and then got rid of it without even opening it, to my chagrin. So it's out now. As is the Jeep. Ooo-er... That yellow Mini is the basic treasure hunt. You showed real restraint only buying two,the JEEP is a brand new casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, that one is really in demand but I've found loads of them, yet the MX-5 from last year and the J case Gotta Go seem to be elusive. Saw absolutely loads of the lilac Skull Shaker treasure hunts around too for months after they came out. That yellow Mini is really cool, just a shame the body no longer comes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, good to know - didn't think I'd seen this Cherokee before in their line-up, but I haven't been all that dedicated recently. I used to have the old Matchbox casting of the 3dr Cherokee in yellow and green Park Ranger colours, plus the Majorette version in black with orange surfboards on the roof. But I think I passed both of them on a while back. This one reminded me of the one used in the Matt's Off-Road Recovery videos on YouTube, so I didn't want to pass it up...

Spottedlaurel Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 A few I've picked up over recent weeks, including visits to three different branches of Tesco yesterday: I'd forgotten about trying to find the Sierra so that was pleasing.

Lord Sterling Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Right, I tried this the other day and the post kept on reproducing my pictures at the end of my post despite them already being on the post. Anyway, I have a small selection of recently purchased 1/43s. I have tried to stay away from 1.43s and concentrate on 1/18s but some of the ones I've picked up were so low priced, it was too irresistible to pass. So, I have a Corgi Vanguards Austin Allegro and a Rover P6 V8, a Corgi Rover 2000 "Golden Jacks" and courtesy of @bunglebus I have a Solido Renault 4 "La Poste" van: I've always wanted a Golden Jacks Rover since I first knew about them. They were quite pricey though and many had the spare wheel "Rover" emblazoned lid missing. The great thing about the Golden Jacks Rover is that the spare wheel cover has its "Rover" emblazoned lid still which many, many examples no longer have. Again, cheap for what it was given very similar examples are going for £40+ etc... Rover comparison: Despite being technically made by the same manufacturer (Corgi) the Rover P6s are quite different, the Vanguards Rover is much better in its proportions and looks. The Golden Jacks Corgi Rover is not as good and lacks a lot of detail (hence the added details) Both though have jewelled headlights and thats about it for similarities.

RoadworkUK Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 The Vanguards is much higher in fidelity, but that Golden Jacks is just gorgeous. Lord Sterling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 The Golden Jacks Rover is lovely. Corgi made a couple of other variants of the Rover P6 2000 which did not have removable wheels: (eBay images) I think the Blue one may have been the first possibly and the red one the last of the line given the wheels which are also found on my Corgi 1.36 Minis.

barrett Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I have or had the early pale blue P6 (repainted) but I have never looked carefully at the Whizzwheels version before, and hadn't appreciated that it depicts a Series 2 car like my full-size one, might have to hunt one down but they don't seem very common. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a Matchbox, I think it’s an original casting, the date says 1998 underneath so that would probably predate any Realtoy. For some reason the modern cars are done at the same scale, the older ones like the Capri etc seem to be done much smaller? Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Just got back from holidays, had a couple of packages awaiting me, but firstly there's one other car I obtained from a 2p machine Quite nicely detailed but not really my thing - will probably be a wheel donor. It had friends that I didn't try and win For deliveries there were just two, a 99p win mainly for this Zylmex Crazy Wheels buggy But there were other nice bits including another Zee... Majorettes... A Lone Star Tuff Tot... ...and a couple of 1:43 Polistils Package two contained the latest Corgi Club offering, no doubt already showcased by @Datsuncogwho's on an earlier delivery schedule than I am Lastly I want to show you this, which has a bit of a back story. I don't really do motorbikes, but many years ago when my mate and I were stupid teenagers, he acquired a blue Honda C70 which we used to go out on without any legal requirements such as a licence, tax insurance MoT etc. Not the cleverest idea but 30 years ago the roads were a lot quieter and ANPR wasn't really a thing. We never got stopped but had some interesting incidents involving slow punctures, a broken throttle twist grip and inexperience. We lived to tell the tale and when Hot Wheels released a Honda Cub I knew what had to be done It seems Mattel modeled a newer Super Cub but it's close enough. This is why I bought a load of motorcycles at the boot sale, it needs spoked wheels so swaps will be investigated AndyW201, Datsuncog, Remspoor and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
