Be careful with those transitionals, its a very slippery slope...
Awe, come on. I would only want one of each of the first 75! Not worried about color, wheel, window tint, decal variations etc! - Even though that's what I said when I started getting back into the regular wheel models.

UUgh Superfast - silly coloured cars with funny wheels and start of the downward slide of Lesney. What was wrong with real looking cars ??
Watching Grahams sales with interest ( why do some idiots jump in and then go up by 1 quid at a time trying to outdo one another - haven't they heard of sniping !! ) it just pushes up the prices - set your limit, set snipe and sit back and relax - you either win or you don't. I think some of these 'bidder' think they are at a real live auction - go figure.

...And quickly gets expensive when you want to acquire nice #8 Mustangs and #22 Pontiacs etc. - even in the "common or garden" varieties...
