Still no dice in Tesco regarding Matchbox. Just hoping now that they do the Kadett in another colour scheme as I missed the first releases of the Merc S123 and Capri but managed to find the subsequent releases. Morrisons had a big restock of Hot Wheels. Not much there that I haven't already got apart from, And one I was particularly pleased to find, Split_Pin, AnnoyingPentium, bunglebus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Not a lot to get excited about at the first boot sale, found a couple of early Majorettes Also various Matchbox including a pink Guildsman I can never resist a Volks-Dragon as it was my favourite as a kid. There was a Dragon Wheels too but she wanted too much for it I almost never pick up the Model A van as there are a bazillion different versions, but 50p for one this tidy is OK with me And a pound for this Pug Off to the next one - also realised there's a Saturday boot sale not to far away so might be going to three next weekend Dick Longbridge, Spottedlaurel, Datsuncog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news I have secured a Kadett. Lovely casting, can imagine one of the issues with rubber tyres and detailing would be good. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had an all black one which I was quite taken with too, as well as the usual cream/beige jobbies The orange ones were a different seller and for kids, I had a different set when I was a kid that worked the same way - unfortunately not having any siblings limited my chatting opportunities a bit!

Cookiesouwest Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Back from holibobs and a package was waiting I had the Pepsi truck as a child, and as all 3 were a 1.99 job lot on the bay, seemed rude not too ! Now I confess, I never liked this one as a child. Not sure what possessed me to buy it (maybe it was a gift). Even then I wanted models to resemble the real thing and this did not qualify. But as I'm trying to recreate what I had, it had to be done. Effing glorious. Truly brilliant. Loved it then, love it now. Posh and the doors still work The door works on this too Just need a suitable tow vehicle. All of the above were 1.99. All from same seller, so postage combined. He also threw in these for 2 quid. For 5! Sadly the rolomatic function does not work, as all 5 have slightly knackered wheels. Was worth the risk. Hunt for a good one continues. So if anyone wants 5 range rovers for resto/ spares / or you like slightly knackered matchbox, then yours for the price of postage. andrew e, Remspoor, Tenmil Socket and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW201 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Had to nip into B&Q earlier today as I've been assigned some "house stuff" to do. Took the opportunity to also nip into the nearby B&M to see if there was anything new. Nothing I haven't already got, but I did grab this as it was on offer, I'm not really into the Forza stuff as it's generally supercar stuff, which isn't really my bag. But as I seem to have fallen down the A Class rabbit hole against my will, and have collected all the variations so far, I had to grab this one. Nice detailing. As this one costs a bit more than a standard mainline, it gets tampo printing all over and front and rear. Also got round to opening up the yellow MB Merc and swapping the loose green one into the card. Okay, no one would be fooled by it, but it looks neat enough to me and it means I have the green, yellow and blue ones on cards now. Still hunting for the Terracotta US version.

junkyarddog Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 That Range Rover is the least functional of the Rolamatics,they never seem to work correctly. The Clipper and Hot Rocker were the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookiesouwest Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Postman has made a delivery. Very nice model, even came with a quite worn box. Just need to acquire a forklift. Split_Pin, Datsuncog, Bren and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyarddog Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Some recent finds in no particular order. Hot wheels Chevette. I don't normally buy other people's customs,but this appealed. Glued back together though🙄 Hot wheels 65 Mustang with real riders. A favourite when I was a kid, Ruff Trek. Kidco A team Van. Goofy looking Johnny Lightening Pontiac. Majorette Renault Extra. Hot wheels Baja bug. Hot wheels Citroen C4 Rally car. No idea who made this,1971 Ford Pinto. Siku Karmann Ghia. Lastly we have this Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser that looks like Smoll Eddy has slapped a for sale sign on already.

bunglebus Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Some awesome stuff there ^ The baja should be made in India, pretty hard to find. Chevette is one of the better blackwalls, quite a late release. Well Jel of the Ruff Trek without bits missing! I had a box land, mainly wanted this Mira Fiat But its accomplices aren't bad either Cookiesouwest, Tenmil Socket, andrew e and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
