morrisoxide Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Charadee shop finds 99p a bag! I saw the Commer and random Super-fast's in the other bag and I had to have. Inside Got home all pleased with the £1.98 purchase. That Ford Pick up is near mint as the others are. Then I remembered a few other bags one bag had a Super-fast beetle for 99p why didn't I buy that one? Then I wondered if the back end of the Commer chassis was in one of the other bags, so back I go. Beetle had gone, but this bag had a Britains motorbike and Matchbox fire truck so it was worth the effort for 99p. Also that day in Tescos a Bustle back Cadillac, Ford Custom and AS coulored van .

Quite. The boxed Days Gone Vanguards to the left are a tenner a throw.

junkyarddog Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Today's autojumble finds are as follows. Firstly this rather spiffing remote control driving game! Now one can be like Father and drive sensibly around ones town. Splendid fun old bean. Next up we have a Taiwanese made plastic bump and go Mercedes police van. Next this Matchbox K6 Motorcycle transporter in a tatty box. Last ofall is this Matchbox trailer. Didn't have one like this,so happy to find it. bunglebus, Remspoor, Split_Pin and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
