Wow, Ian... that thing is just creepy! But almost weird enough to make me actually want to bid on it. I could use it to keep the wife away from my Matchbox collection...

Thanks Al for the kind words. I've posted on the 'Full sized Matchbox Toys' thread and attempted to clarify the definitions in my own unique rambling way :D Judging by the number of them I see on car roofs every summer I'd say there's a bit of sea kayaking here although the whole outdoor sports are...

Great words, both from Al and those who have commented. Al - it looks as if you are discovering the same as me - that this forum is a great place to be. I am one of the members who is at the very start of a very steep learning curve (that's part of the fun) and I am eternally grateful that members ...

Nice story and wise words Big Al. I think all of us go through that initial phase of excitement and getting carried away. Sadly, many get burnt and end up leaving the hobby. Play the "long game" I always say - if you are in it for the enjoyment, then the odd mistake hurts less. I've alway...
