Woosh and Push 50p each, 2 are engineless.

First off the 90’s ones, some really good others tatty. 50p each or 3 for a quid. 

Could I take the next best LTD and the 480 if not spoken for please

[bunglebus]

Today has been a mixed bag - and another empty bag, yep another jiffy with the contents missing on my doormat 🙄

Arrivals that made it;

Not quite as good as expected Spider-Van, at least the card interior is good

Better than my other one B1600

Prelude isn't bad, I prefer this to the driving school Acclaim thing

[sierraman]

2x Lonestar Impy Flyers. Finest quality we had to offer in the U.K. to stave off the forrin’ competition from Hot Wheels. If it floats your boat it’s 50p for the pair.

Pretty near mint Corgi Renault Minibus. 50p

Some from the 80’s. The CX is missing the tailgate but you could make some sort of tissier conversion from it maybe?

Again 50p each or 3 for a quid.

I'd have an interest in the Fiat Mirafiori,if the glazing/casting/base are in decent enough condition?

Glazing looks passable and the base although filthy is ok. Rust stains on base. Art imitating life 🤣

[junkyarddog]

Perfect,I'm interested in it.

Will hold on to see if anything else interesting pops up.

[sierraman]

Having seen some of your customs it’d be great to see what you could do with it.

@sierraman could I dibs the BMW 5 series and the best of the Skoda Estelles please?

Certainly. Given it’s 3 for a quid I’ll chuck both estelles in. 

[Split_Pin]

Good man cheers I'll add it to the resto queue!

Could I nab this one as well please?

I have one the same with scruffy decals; I tried to remove them completely using acetone and just rubbed straight through the paint...

Is that a partwork on rally support vehicles? God that's niche! Nice looking van btw and very tempting, C'est combien?

Yes, a whole series of rally support vehicles

I got it wrong, its not Hachette, it's Altaya. 

Www.altaya.fr

That transit is 16.99  euros. 

I got this C25 from the same range.

I think I have the set

Please don't say I haven't

Because

I'll start twitching again

[flat4alfa]

I even have a good few spares not in the main photo

Stripped and painted them in spurious colours

Even imported sticker sets from the States...

 

And don't get me started on the little Matchbox Chevrolet Vans either.  There are three subtly different castings.  B*stard Matchbox.

No it's ok I know Toyvan.co.uk 

It got me searching for SZE Toy vans too.  Then I recovered.

I thought I had a rally support one that came with a Porsche on a trailer, but can't find a pic. May have sold that one

Friday it is, and as for tat, well - that remains to be seen...

Misty murky morn on the foothills of the Antrim Plateau today.

Yes, there should be a very large hill there, but not right now.

I made reasonable time butting my way in to the city, and was already skirting the market before 8am... and I noticed a few people duck in through the traders' entrance rather than wait for the front doors.

Naughty naughty.

And on opening, oh look who's there already...

I probably shouldn't get so worked up about it, but then again a spot of deadly rivalry definitely adds a bit of spice to the whole market thing.

Nemesis #1 was pissing about with Meccano sets and, incongruously, Royal Doulton 'Bunnykins' figurines. Clearly a man of wide tastes and interests.

At least he hadn't swiped a whole heap o' choice diecast, mainly because there wasn't very much there yet.

Much of this as per last week...

Whizzwheels Pininfarina Alfa P33 concept wasn't in bad nick, and was wearing a price sticker - dunno if Blokey's experimenting with transparent pricing, or if some previous owner put that on.

A few paint chips, but probably not an unreasonable price.

Spot On haul now down to just the Floride (missing glazing and rear panel), the playworn Big Healey, and the Bullnose(less) Morris.

Lesney were all a bit meh - scruffy, and/or a bit too old to pique my interest.

The (broken) cutlery caddy of diecast hadn't changed significantly from last week - Maisto pull-backs, Bond reissues, Days Gone buses and some far-east toy weirdness.

There was also this...

Someone will probably give him £30 for the 1/18 Sun Star DeLorean, but it probably won't be me (unless someone here fancies it?)

Bachmann rolling stock took me right back to my model shop days.

Not normally my bag, but this OO scale Leyland in Ulster Transport Authority livery did nudge me; my family has historic links with Inglis' Bakery too... doubt it'll be on the stall long.

But that was pretty much it for Market Blokey this morning - no tat box, and not much else.

I swung by Paddy's stall, just to visit really.

Maisto and Days Gone - check.

All the same stuff that he's had for weeks, with nothing sold - check.

Corgi Buick that's quite a bit worse than the boxed one I procured, yet also somehow more expensive - check.

I think we can move on.

Unfortunately, neither Alan's Emporium nor the Charity Stall had much in the way of diecast showing, but then they were still kinda setting up.

So I hopped off to grab a coffee, and tap out the story so far while gazing at the traffic outside the law courts.

And now... back in for Round 2?

[Split_Pin]

Shame the Buick is so dear, I would have loved that.
