Re: Lots of models (mostly Matchbox) for sale

What would you grab and try to save from a house fire? In order of importance; my wife, my phone, my wallet and my pants. My list is pretty much the same, but adds pets and important documents (such as a copy of my birth certificate). A change of clothes may also fit in there. Now that you're getti...

The FC-150 was built on a CJ-5 chassis, which had an 81" wheelbase, and they were only 12'3.5" long. Small, indeed! I've never seen a Corgi FC-150 with cast wheels, either.

Re: Lots of models (mostly Matchbox) for sale

As Ghosty mentioned, there is a reason I'm downsizing. The short version is that I recently faced down the possibility of a house fire. I also want to do some camping and fishing when the weather is more agreeable. I'll probably stop around from time to time, and the Corgis are staying with me for n...

Lots of models (mostly Matchbox) for sale

A recent minor scare, and the desire to raise funds so I may pursue other interests, mean that much of my collection is on the market. I'm only asking what I paid (as best I can recall); there is some room for negotiation. Will trade for a complete and intact code 5 71B (11x45 wheels and metal door ...

Re: A Mob of Minis

Amen!

I suspect the one in the first photo has labels added by a third party. Am I correct?

Re: Black Forest Customs

I, too, have scrutinized many a 30C in hopes of finding one without the brace. Thus far, I've not been successful.

Re: Black Square Decals unavailable to the EU

About 10 days ago, I received an order from Steve Flowers which I placed back in the first part of December and ready to place another order. I'm wishing them all well and hope they can reopen soon. My Steve Flowers order, which was placed after yours, arrived late last month. Why I received mine w...
