Shite in Miniature II

[Tenmil Socket]

Phwoar...

[Bren]

I have the copper coloured marina. It is a nice model. I had the bond bug years ago.

[egg]

Picked up in Tesco today, up for grabs, anyone?

[Split_Pin]

Interested in the Mini!

[egg]

Will put it aside for you, maybe Datsuncog style wait to see if there is anything else to spread the postage pain?

[flat4alfa]

To give an idea of the excitement, this 220SE was bid up to near £12 plus postage...

Sounds like a plan!

[Datsuncog]

No Minis in the Royal Avenue branch of Tesco today either, sorry! Looks like egg's kind offering might be the best option.

Yow, that's mad about the Merc 220 - but explains why the shelves had been cleared of it too last night. Damn, there were loads on Monday as well.

Lidl have some interesting 5 packs in... 

I may have asked 'Father Xmas' for this one... 

[Frogchod]

A couple of new additions have arrived

An Atlas Citroen TUB

And a wobbly Norev Citroen GS Camargue

Anyone in need? I'm in Tesco...

Sorry for the cross posting from the Lego thread, but check this out! Not bad for 14 quid,

Many thanks to MorrisOxide.

I have been gifted a MERC W123 WAGON 

I can sleep a little easier now !

This place, etc.

Glad it got there unscathed.

I can't figure out what is in the back of the Mercedes? It looks like a helmet or football, a bag thing and box full of round things, anyone hazard a guess?

[morrisoxide]

I found a Marina all on it's own in a charity shop that had no price tag on. The cashier said it had been a part of a job lot and had escaped so 50P takes it.

It was missing a door but I made a wonky one.

I picked this Cortina in a charity shop years ago. It makes me think that these two where destined to be together,or maybe they have been reunited form whence they came. Spooky eh?

Anyway that's enough drivel from me.

Not sure if we've had this one in the UK yet?

[Split_Pin]

Tremendous!

I saw it in one of the 9 packs last week,on a single card would be good as Miss_155 likes small pickup trucks.

He knows it - and now you knows it too.

Quickly - to the Tatmobile!

There's not a moment to lose!

That long shot of the Batmobile is my desktop pic on this computer!

Holy playvalue, Batman!

 

[Datsuncog]

"Any decent Superfasts in the tat box today, Chief?"

"Not a one, Batman. And no tat box either. Looks like The Giffer's been up to his old tricks again. This is all we're left with."

 

"Holy Yesteryears, Batman! We've got to stop him before he destroys St. Gotham's Market!"

"You're right, Robin. Let's go!"

[Datsuncog]

"We've got to put a stop to The Giffer's overpriced diecast hi-jinks, Robin, once and for all!"

"But how, Batman? He's the tricksiest supervillain around. I hear he managed to palm off a scratched and unboxed Atlas Dinky reissue with a missing headlight for £10 to a confused Dutch student."

"We'll get the drop on him Robin - never fear."

"You mean - we have to go up there? But how?"

"Using my official cheap plastic tat, Robin. It never fails me."

"Up we go."

 

"Scuse me, fellas, but you do realise this is a listed building of special architectural and/or historical interest under Section 80 of the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011, and as such your Bat-rope may risk damaging its double-height single-storey red brick covered facade, built c.1890 in Romanesque style to designs by J.C Bretland?"

"I appreciate your deep concern for Belfast's built heritage, Sammy Davis Jr, but right now we've got a diecast supervillain to apprehend."

"Fair enough so. If you see any decent Corgi Rockets or blackwall Hot Wheels, grab 'em for me, yeah?"

"Certainly, Sammy Davis Jr."

"Cheers guys. Love the show!"
