AndyW201 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Don't know if it's of any interest on here but a guy on FB has a load of boxed Vanguards Hidden Treasures and Boy Racer editions. (A few on here have shown interest when I've posted my own collections on here). £6 each he wants for them which is pretty good, some of them do go for quite a bit more. I can pass any interest on as I'm in the process of buying a few models from the guy (yep, lasted long didn't I?) bunglebus and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to If it makes you feel any better, getting to visit shops like this comes as a result of some very long days and nights. The job this week got delayed by the firm building the units we were installing, so instead of loading Tuesday morning and staying in a hotel in France, we were helping finish them in London on Wednesday at 7PM, thrashed to Paris overnight, arriving at 4am after getting customs checks done, a few hours of cold, uncomfortable sleep in the van with my boss snoring and farting next to me and drug dealers lurking nearby, followed by a 7.30 start at the Nike shop - at 9.30 we were done so set off for Berlin, arriving at 9.45pm at a Hotel where all the shops and restaurants close at 10, eventually managing to get a pizza delivered before a shower and the bliss of an actual bed - until getting up in time to be at the next Nike shop at 6am, then another straight after thanks to our squeezed schedule. After having to find materials and make/replace a part the manufacturer had cocked up, we finished at 2pm and spent the next four hours wandering around Berlin sightseeing and die cast hunting, before a decent night's sleep leading to a 9am onwards drive home. I got indoors at midnight last night... FakeConcern and Split_Pin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I can’t think of a single reason why Tesco don’t stock the full range. The Poundland has the limited range of Moving Parts but it’s very on-off at the moment. No sign whatsoever of new stock in Tesco... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeConcern Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Bit of a strange one here and if there was a Miniature ebay bargains thread, maybe should go there. What do people think of this on ebay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134293904788 It has 6 days to go and already on £42! Now I know these go for strong money and glad I got one for Mrs Concern's summer house some years back (my original childhood one is broken and painted red!), but this looks to me like a bodged up worn out one not... Quote Here we have an AMAZING example of a vintage all original #485 Dinky Mini Countryman with surfer & x2 boards boxed diecast set. In very near mint/mint condition. The best I've ever seen. To me it looks like it's been repainted for a start (imperfections, fluff stuck to it etc), then looks like new roof rack while the bumpers are pretty worn and chipped. Lastly look at the headlights! Overall it just looks wrong, or is it just me? Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall it just looks wrong, or is it just me? Not something I've ever seen before/know anything about so feel free to ignore me. Obviously something funny going on with the headlamps, but otherwise I'd say it looks identical to this one - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253878502247 .... and considering that one's more than £600, I'd hope it was a pukka original. Bumpers are similarly 'rough' and the roof rack look brand new. The paint quality is also very similar. I reckon if that has been in a box for most of its life that could well be genuine. Are the headlamps glued in? Could it be losing its 'stick' and they're starting to slip out? Anyway, this one for £30 looks a much better bet to my eyes https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204131066255 FakeConcern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
