Ghosty, oh Ghosty, I'am sorry. I was very busy the last time. But here you go. I added some more Pics including some interesting (my opinion) colours shown.
Seems Photobucket has some issues: Every time I uploaded the pictures, Photobucket rotates them and the "rotate" function does not work.
Of course you all feel free to save these pictures. Otherwise just rotate your whole screen, make a video of it and post it into the "Jokes" section here

PS. Note the mistake between Ford Cortina and Mercedes 450 SEL!
Greetings,
Linus

That's alright Sir Matchbox, we upper class members of society can get away with this sort of behavior...

Ghosty.

BTW, is there a date for the catalogue in the above pictures.

[Sir_Matchbox_96]

It is from 1979 Ghosty
Here some of my latest finds. I got some empty boxes plus a few Rw's I needed. I also got an Esso Pump + Sign, I was looking long for that one to go with my 1st Service Station.
I got a King Size K8 Guy Car Transporter in turquoise/ yellow, finally one in reasonable condition.
I'am happy to find this Military "play Set", which is seldom seen here in Germany (my opinion). It is not complete, some small parts are missing, but I like it anyway.

You all have a nice start into the new week!
Linus

[GHOSTHUNTER]

Thank you Linus for catalogue date.

I like the military set Linus, plenty of play value there. It takes up a bit of room though

[Sir_Matchbox_96]

Yes Johnboy it takes a lot of space, but I really like these sets. There are so many to get
But first some smaller stuff here, some fleamarked finds:




"yellow" Ford station wagon, RW #9c with tan ladder.


Some more updates.


And a German exclusive colour crane from 1000 PS set. Window variation

[MatchboxFreak]

Linus, you've got a great flea market there. A very nice variety of SF and RW, matchbox size and King size.
Enjoy!

For me it's always nice to find models in the wild, it makes a change from ebay.

[Sir_Matchbox_96]

Thanks you MatchboxFreak!

Definately Johnboy. I went to another fleamarked. Well I was there at 08:00 in the morning and at 08:10 it began to rain.
Fail! But I had to look for matchbox and after two and a half hour I was completely soaked.
BUT I ended up with these finds:

Flat cars with harder to find coloured containers from matchbox Play Set 1


German exclusive Atlas container Truck in orange from 1000 PS set and I was missing this colour on the rolamatics.


harder to find colour on the Woosh 'n push


Tanzara standard and streaker


had to rescue these 3, trailer hm yes, I like the design Rolls Royce had a little suprise...


...yellow base. Sadly it is missing it's bootlid, but it's a keeper for me til I find a better on. 50ct was the price


Horse boxes are same variant, I think you all will notice the only difference Condition update Citroen CX. The Boat trailer variant comes from ebay and is a very late run. It was sold in a two pack with Ford Escord Carbio in white.


King Size excavator with less common red hubs and black tires instead of the long run with Superking wheels. And I had to rescue the scammel as well.


Late Superking era Ford Sierra and earlier colour on the Datsun. Note the damage to the label of the buggy. There is a casting hole underneath it: The buggy was also issued in orange with black roof and a Tiger head sculpture on the hood. Lesney did not fill this hole (or maybe in later runs) and just fitted a label on it
