flat4alfa Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 @Spottedlaurelto the beige phone please! I don't know if you spotted this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Vintage-Heller-1-43-Peugeot-604-Unassembled-Plastic-Model-Kit/203269775284 You most probably did.. but if you don't want it, I might well be clicking the bid button of doom later. Just say so now so you don't get into a bidding war with me by accident 😗 As you enjoyed* the Heller Princess so much...

eddyramrod Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yes, I remember seeing those, but only in passing, because I didn't take much notice of the big Bburagos. Now, of course, I'd love it. flat4alfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I like that Polistil van. It is now watch listed..... In similar age to this Monogram 1:32 Dodge B-series gen-1 model kit that's become rather brittle with age. It was converted to slot years ago and needs some glue gun shoring-up work now. The rear axle just broke away... Should look like this Pah! Cheap and cheerful kids model kit, you think? Go look how valuable an unmade one is now...

eddyramrod Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yee-haw! Thanks Hank! If that white van is 1/25 scale though, then I'm a crocodile. The MPC was barely 1/32; I noticed that many of the American kits fell slightly short of Airfix for scale, or perhapsAirfix were too big? But I don't think so, because they scaled well with Britains and Scalextric.... oh it's all too much, I need a lie-down now! flat4alfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrisoxide Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Just picked this up in Tescos. They also had one blue F Type and quite a few of new Taxi cabs and Bini Clubmans.

The MPC might be slightly overlong, but it doesn't look out of proportion; on the contrary, knowing the shape well from American TV, I've always considered it quite pleasing. Anyway, seeing it on the track is something to look forward to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW201 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 OMG! Local Tesco stocking Matchbox and Hot Wheels shocker. Also picked up one of these, it's a nice wee thing, (Shame about the lack of tampo printing on the headlights) As mentioned, there's a re colour of the Bini Countryman, an LEVC London taxi, a Jag F type and a nice Land Rover Defender in this new UKIP collection. Normal MB singles are still listed as £1.25, but there were none there. Obviously MB are now doing the same as Hot Wheels, by adding some fancier packaging on some editions for a slightly higher price. Hot Wheels were sadly older case stuff, but I was chuffed to snag this, been after this one for a while, Sudsprint, Split_Pin, Mr Laurence and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Heads up - today Aldi should have Hot Wheels 3 packs, and Lidl should have singles. They should be new 2021 cars as I've seen sneak preview pics from a staff member Split_Pin, AndyW201, Reluctant Adult and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
