corgi rocket age

Post by markyboy »

Hi,I am currently collecting the corgi rocket age vehicles from around 1958-1960 and wondered if anybody has a similar collection and how hard they all were to locate

Hello markyboy, welcome to the forum.

I am not aware of a forum member collecting the 'Rocket Age' models as a separate line, so you may be the first one, which means we would like to see some pictures of what you have managed to collect so far.

The 'Rocket Age' models were a range within a range, being in boxes marked up with the 'Majors' name, so may not have sold as well as they should, plus the chosen subjects contained some pretty complicated vehicles.

The above is shown here just to let other forum members know what we are talking about!

Most of these models are relatively easy to find. However, the Bristol Bloodhound missile becomes available less often and always commands a hefty price tag. Repro pars for the mssile also means that incomplete versions also sell for comparatively large amounts of money.

I have the radar truck in two variations, the ground based radar and the bulldozer, I will post pictures soon.

Cheers

I had the missile on the launcher as a kid for Xmas - most useless present I ever got - it did absolutely nothing !
