sierraman Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'd seen. It was on a stall of a guy that does house clearance. He had a box full of 70's to 90's Matchbox. I was struggling to resist the temptation to buy the lot. I'm guessing either he doesn't know the value or can't be arsed. The Scammell is particularly nice, save for a slight crack in the roof light it's in very good condition. Put the Hot Wheels on EBay. I'm not a big fan of them, got them here simply because as you say they are in demand so might get a few quid on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I had that Dodge Commando, although mine wasn't Kellogg's, but Smith's Crisps. You had to get the tokens off the packets and send them off. It came in a plain white box.... I think I also got a special edition 'Temple of Doom' poster circa 1984 the same way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why doesn't that happen anymore? mercrocker and MarvinsMom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Just secured a 1/18 swap tonight which I am quite excited about. My Autoart E46 BMW Btcc car for his Revell VW Corrado. Always wanted a Schabak 1/43 one since they came out at the start of the 90s so this is even better! Best thing is the chap is inly 10 mins up the road so he is coming round tomorrow night. Pics to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Got this today - Dinky pontiac parisienne. £13 including p&p from shitebay, could'nt get one from a toyfair for that. Was going to give it a paintjob butI don't think it warrants it. True to its canadian roots it has malcolm the mountie at the wheel. 155V6, Skizzer, Junkman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 No apology needed, Lukas, there's some nice stuff there.

andy18s Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Latest addition to the growing collection include this minter Plan was to pull it apart and build up as a 400 rep but it's immaculate. ..........Time will tell,already have a bit of a scrap yard feel to the house Does anyone have any scrap Auto Art hubs or axles kicking about?I bought the P38 to build a rep of mine but the po cut all the hubs off,and fitted some shite chrome wheels with thin tube for axles.. Don't know why the phone has posted them pics sideways....never used to..

RoadworkUK Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I bought one of those Sunstar Asconas, an Irmscher I2000. It's triffic. If I was really brave I'd slice it and dice it to make a MK1 Cavalier 2 door using the front end of this: Less the quad headlamp conversion and ATS Cups.

Split_Pin Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Those Mantas are lovely. I stupidly let one fo for 15 quid, boxed a few years ago as I didn't know the value of them. Regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Got this honey in a swap tonight, 1/18 Revell Corrado VR6. Thought it was unusually nice for a Revell but it was made in 2006 so its not as old as I thought. I love it!

RoadworkUK Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 That's lovely. Revell did some ridiculously good stuff in the last decade, much of which was re-branded as Universal Hobbies. I have their Renault 5 Turbo II And their Clio V6 to go with it. laser wheels, Banger Kenny, Mr Lobster and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
