danthecapriman Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Snagged myself a few Matchbox car’s recently too, Must say, I’ve never seen the Ford Thunderbird turbo coupe model before, very nice too! The green/grey one changes colour in hot water. And a few Hot Wheels, That black Impala SS is an absolute beauty! Looks brilliant.

Dinky supertoy tilt cab! This thing is huge and very heavy too. They definitely don’t make em like they used to. Been after one of these for a while, now I have one it’s definitely one of my favourites! Well chuffed! That's uber cool.

Asking for a friend Sorry mate, it’s going to be painted white like the one I had when I was 8, I peeled the stickers off my James Bond one, even at that age I was devaluing cars. I’ve only got one other Rocket , a P1800, but have an excuse now to start looking for track and jumps and loops and… Oooh a Super Booster, me and my brother fucked ours up using it a missile launcher .

bunglebus Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Mrs BB pulled another 1:28 scale Kinsmart Lupo out of one of those market boxes Here's that 50p Hong Kong Matchbox from the charity shop I bought this out of that set at Sainsbury's - but it wasn't easy. It wasn't recognised at the till and they absolutely refused to sell it to me. Tried at customer service, even showing them the item and code on their own website but they were having none of it and sent someone to take the others off the shelf. Finally one of them agreed to let me "buy" a 9 pack that's the same price but take the Starlet - but not to tell anyone...

Only good ones Ive seen though are the Minichamps ones with the expected joke price tags. I may be spending an inordinate amount on eBay soon, as there is now a Czech partwork series out, covering classic Skodas (obviously), and one of the series is a Mk1 Octavia VRS, a model of which I've been wishing for for years, as I've also had a real one of those, one of my favourite cars I've owned. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW201 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Hooray! Tesco had a fresh stock of (older) Matchbox in, and at £2 a throw. Boo! Still not one bastarding Capri to be found. I don't think they ever see the pegs... Nothing else there I don't already have, but came away with this. Not sure if I already have it, but it'll do to open and do a bit of detailing on. Loads of Merc 123 wagons, Ford customs, modern Ford cop cars and Buick Skylarks if anyone's desperate. I can nip down tomorrow.

eddyramrod Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I have a "WANT"..... It's "Hudson," the futuristic Rolls Royce from the Gerry Anderson TV series Terrahawks. The model shown is about Matchbox size, made in plastic. My sister's husband is a sci-fi buff (they came together 30+ years ago over Blake's 7, of all things!) and this is one he doesn't have. I have one! But of course it's part of my Film/TV sub-collection, so he can't have it. She and I have now trawled two toy fairs together and completely failed to find one. So, any of you guys got one you don't want? Or more importantly, don't want much for? AndyW201 and andrew e 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
