That Ligeir will be 12.99 when it's released. All are available mail order in Europe. Wait a few months and they'll be available from Jumajo cheaper.

bunglebus Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 These two Corgis just arrived. Having found the milk float MK2 Transit I wanted to get the wrecker, so I can fantasise about lifting unsuspecting MK2 Granadas in the middle of the night. Liking the boom operation on this one In the same job lot was a different version of the Renault 5 Turbo Nutter Bastard as it was officially known.

155V6 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I had to go to Pets at Home for some kitten toys,so had a look next door in Halfords for Hotwheels.They had some cars I hadn't seen before like a black Studebaker pickup,Toyota Land Cruiser in a sand colour,& a Mooneyes '56 Ford Panel Truck in matt red. A quick look online suggests these are from the C Case,which comes after the one with the Sierra,so might be worth a look if you have one nearby 😉 bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Tuesday was local toyfair night,so I took Miss_155 along as she'd never been before.There wasn't much there different from last month,so all I bought was this Corgi Bentley T Series This is a nice model,& everything opens I love the colour,it contrasts nicely with the Rolls Royce I got a few months back Miss_155 found this metal pig & Dumbo the elephant.Total toy fair spend including admission was £9.00 😀 Then I had a delivery today from @Dick Longbridgethe Siku Mercedes bus & Corgi Transit Really pleased with them both,but no idea where to put the bus as the Siku cabinet is bursting at the seams😁 The Transit sits nicely with the Matchbox Sierra,I'm sure someone will do transfers for the Hotwheels Sierra soon though Sudsprint, Dick Longbridge, RoadworkUK and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 One service that I provide is as a refuge for those poor toy cars that find themselves abandoned in the great outdoors. My better half works as a park ranger, and every now and again brings something home that she's rescued. Today it was this: Porsche 910 in Matchbox Super GT flavour. Actually one of the heavier GTs I've encountered, perhaps because of its long tail. It really does feel nice in the hand. We're presuming it was lost at the park by a kid, and there must be a bit of a tale behind that. More often, cars she finds are recent-ish Hot Wheels, Maisto or whatever supermarket specials; either way, the kind of thing that's amply available on the high street or in charity shops. Of course, it's entirely possible that the latter is where this one came from, but it seems more likely to have been handed down within the family by somebody. I mean, I bought Super GTs with pocket money in the 80s; could it be that somebody like me afforded it to his offspring on the basis that it was one of the less valuable / meaningful of his models? For me, it ain't just the toy, it's the story. Jon, Spottedlaurel, AndyW201 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Tesco have put some new Matchbox out - no Capris but I bought this. Nice but the wheels are rather inappropriate Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Waiting at home were a few bits and bobs. Can't remember where I saw one of these Corgi Unimogs but I was really impressed with the suspension setup so I've been looking for one. Tipping mech is also rather good It came with an Imp, hopefully the tailgate/window is available as a repro @Dick Longbridgesent me this MC Toys Golf in an unusual colour scheme, and a tidy Matchbox 928 Bought a box of oddments mainly for this Dinky Alfa But it came with yet another of these Majorette pickups And this Flying Bug - this one's a shame as it's minty but has a broken wing - I have 3 or 4 in the spares box but they're all missing the wing. I'm sure a donor will emerge eventually Sudsprint, Justwatching, AndyW201 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remspoor Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Newer Corgis. Golden Wonder Sierra and Volvo car transporter. I have seen this period of smaller Corgis advertised as Corgi Juniors.

bunglebus Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Well here's a thing I'd never heard of - original ad here, starts at 0:29 I spotted this and it was just too odd to resist, you put water in which makes a contact starting the motor, there's a control to set how fast it uses the water up as well. Some have a locking hub arrangement and a sliding weight underneath so you can set them up to wheelie or spin. All this is kinda irrelevant as mine seems to be missing the motor entirely... It's also very ugly but it piqued my interest Remspoor, AndyW201, Tenmil Socket and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

155V6 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 A few bits from the charity shop this morning The red truck is interesting.At first glance I thought it was just a generic plastic toy,but it's actually Ford Cargo shaped The writing on the front doesn't say Ford though,it says Ashok Leyland The makers name is Centy Toys,an Indian company so this is probably my first Indian toy vehicle 😀 Datsuncog, RoadworkUK, Remspoor and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 As you may have seen, @barrettbought a job lot after I posted it on the miniature eBay tat thread, and we negotiated some of the spoils coming my way. Here's a few of them, most are in very nice condition too I need @junkyarddog's skills to fix the grille on this Dodge Dragster - I have another with the grille broken on the same side There are several tidy Superfast era cars And some earlier ones too - funny enough I had all of these Matchbox already, but these examples are far better than my existing ones First time I've found one of these with the roof intact This is the only one that's new to me, Pontiac Convertible. Shame about that screen I had both versions of the Beetle (different colour glass), but mine were quite shabby compared to this pair I was bidding on a lot that included a "VOLKSWAGON" base but it got too expensive, one day... A couple of Corgis - Whizzwheels Marcos is a revised casting from the Rockets/Growlers one Rockets Jensen is very cool in lairy pink This was chucked in FOC - no idea what it is, Kinder maybe?
