That's a ton of really nice stuff!!! Too hard to pick a fav as too many are so nice. I am partial to Octo Chain Lorries though.

The image size looks perfect on my monitor.

Yet another superb haul there - aren't you running out of space?

It's always nice to get Spot-Ons for a sensible price. the Land Rover looks like a New Zealand issue.

I haven't quite run out of space, but as with all collectors space is at a premium, I've put the cabinet below in our garage. Not really a "display" cabinet rather than a pile of boxes and cars doorhandle to doorhandle.

I like that !

That's the kind of display cabinet I like - stacked to overflowing with beautiful vintage diecast!

Dave - assume the Spot ons are UK versions and not NZ?

Dave, thanks for sharing the photo of your cabinet! I also like the look of a cabinet stacked and overflowing. My toy displays look very similar.

Nice to see that you are finding the time to add to your collection again.

Thanks Scott, Yes, I seem to be back acquring with avengance after over a year without purchasing much at all and not posting here at all. Glad to see you're still visiting too.

Have you cleaned Canada out of all those wonderful large Dinky Collections?

Quite a few good arrivals to share this week.

I was surfing Trade Me circa 6.00pm a couple of weeks ago and the lot below came up:



Really bad single photo, minimal description and a buy now price of $25.00 (12 odd quid), Now even a repro at that price in really bad condition would have been worth it for the figures alone so I hit Buy Now.

Pleasantly surprised when this turned up. The Mini I had to add from the UK but I've now added something to my collection I never thought I could have. Only available for 1 year these are really hard to find, I'm unlikely to find a mint Mini but I'll keep looking. As you can see in 1967 on release this sold for $2.37.









Two other boxed items also turned up.

The Coles Crane Truck still has a quality control / testing tag floating around in its box after 50+ years and the Jekta is complete with inner packing piece and instructions. A great score!















I wanted rthe box to compliment one of my better condition Jektas:



In the same lot were a Guy Snow Plow and a Blaw Know Bulldozer.









Other separate arrivals:













I also obtained thi sLone Star lot from the same seller as the Spot On's above. My first Lone Stars and mostly in really really good condition.























Cheers

I managed to get some better shots toay of the garage cabinet contents
