Re: New in my collection !
After 2 months without adding any cars to my collection,only selling 6, spring is here this week with a flea market saturday and a toyfair sunday
Batmobile is very close to mint,may or may not be better than the one I already have -it looks like a factory error with 2 Batmans and no Robin!
Very pleased to have a good SF 1st body Rolls painted in RW red - not easy to find.........

Re: New in my collection !
Sunday´s toyfair yielded these - the gpw snow plow is an upgrade. There were 3 empty tables even though what was once only a diecast event now has 1/4 tables for rail only sellers and sales seemed to be slow even though there was a big crowd. Prices were low - £30 for the Mobil truck (loose ends to tank) and £10 for each 1/43 all very reasonable compared to ebay and no shipping I am particularly pleased to finally find a shade variation of SF22c after 15 years of finding only the common medium shade here in the wild but favourite of this lot is the lightly playworn Mercury Maserati

Re: New in my collection !
It must be at least 10 years since I have seen so many flea market tables combined with so few quality diecast. This lot cost me £25

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

That cream is a scarce colour on Teknos, short run on Lincoln and E type Jag , worth more than any other standard colours as far as I know!
Re: New in my collection !
Diecast at local fleamarkets in 2015 are well down on previous recent years and generally poor rubbish.This lot cost £8, most of it for the French Dinky Citroen with busted windscreen and missing tailgate - luckily the Corgi is a passable substitute and the same donor will hopefully provide me with a slot in windscreen if I can get around to it.....

Re: New in my collection !
It was good to see you at Brooklands and swap a few items. I'm afraid I haven't got around to photographing the models I got from you.
The box for that Selfridge Corgi Routemaster looks really similar to the one my Zylmex DMS came in, and they even called it a Routemaster on the box! A previous owner was obviously unimpressed by this and tippexed out the word "Routemaster", and defaced the rear of the box to remove this description! I have since bought an unmolested example, and the title on the back of the box is Routemaster DMS588! The artwork looks very Matchbox-inspired. What artwork is on the back of the Corgi box?
