Re: Tractorboy's Treasures
Well, so far Roger I have been very entertained by your sets of pictures with some really nice models, many of them looking to be in minty condition. I look forward to be entertained even more, so I've got me Pop Corn, a couple of Orange Kiora's and ready for the next showing...

Re: Tractorboy's Treasures
Tractorboy, that's got to be the best collection in New Zealand.
About what percentage is New Zealand sourced?
Great collection, well done.
Cheers, Steve

Thanks Steve - pretty sure there are some bigger collections out there. Gradually getting things out of cupboards, drawers and filing cabinets to share.matchboxkiwi wrote:Tractorboy, that's got to be the best collection in New Zealand.

Lucky it's the "Long Weekend"
Fairly even split with TM & eBay purchases - some private purchases from Collector's Fairs & markets.

Re: Tractorboy's Treasures
Last night I dreamt that I was walking in New Zealand and had lost my way.
All of a sudden, out of nowhere comes a boy with a tractor.
He offers me a lift and takes me to his home nearby to recuperate.
While drinking a cup of tea I discover all these cupboards and cabinets full of lovely Matchbox models around me.
Next moment the alarm clock wakes me up, I go to my computer and see Tractorboy's Treasures on the VBD forum.
And my dream comes true............................
