my pick is the porsche.
Thanks for uploading the pictures
So ive been told,the dinos were suppose to have the golden jacks take off wheels,but changed to red spot,hence the added stickers on both boxes,but i dont know why corgi did that? and i have the golden jacks which took a lot of years to find which would have gone on the dino........Shane wrote:Beautiful models. Amazes me that mint in boxes are still around. I have both Dinos (red and yellow) but not boxed. I have never seen the box before. Funny the sticker indicates whizwheels but the models posted here are red dots which I believe were released before whizwheels.
Red dots ARE whizzwheels. I was there and I remember. The cheapo plastic ones came after the factory fire when they farmed out a lot of work to Asia.Shane wrote:Funny the sticker indicates whizwheels but the models posted here are red dots which I believe were released before whizwheels.
