Hi there everyone I'm new to the forum and happy to have joined, I hope to get chatting to like minded people finally who share my hobby, aswell as learning a bit more from you guys as I've only been collecting matchbox for about 18 months and still have a lot to learn.

I've mainly been collecting regular wheels, 1-75 series plus the major packs, boxed and unboxed as these are my favourite models so far, I'm also collecting the Superfast range.
I'm not too fussed on wheel and Base variations yet etc, as long it's a nice condition model I'm happy.

Lee, Welcome to the forum, you will enjoy your time here, you can get lots of great advice from our regular experts. I am also happy to see you collect Superfast which is my area of collecting. I am looking forward to seeing your collection, just enjoy the Forum and don't be afraid to ask any questions

Hi guys,
Thankyou for the very friendly welcome and I look forward to starting to contribute to the forum and maybe getting to know some of you.

Regarding my collection I'm sorry to let you all know
I can only show you some basic photo's of my models as unfortunately I haven't got them on display yet.

I know anyone who read my first post is probably wondering why after collecting about 100 boxed models, and another 200 loose models in the last 18 months is thinking why I haven't displayed them yet? Well all I can is limited space which I have just got sorted out and I will will realistically only be able to use wall cabinet's, so I will be looking for some shortly.

I also need to just concentrate on getting it done and stop spending all my spare penny's on another hobby of mine which is silver coins.

Welcome aboard Lee.Hope your constraints ease up a bit so u can get your Matchbox life in order
Hope u continue being active on this forum.

Hi numi, thankyou for the warm welcome and I will try to sort out my matchbox issues

You will know what it's like though been a fellow coin collector too, I just keep finding another one I want so I sort of jump between the coins and the matchbox, the coins are mainly for investment and the models are what I really enjoy collecting.

Also yes I will be keeping active on the forum thankyou, just been getting a feel for it really and reading all the interesting posts.

Welcome Lee, will look forward to seeing some of your SF models

Hi Rob and thanks for the welcome, I will get round to posting some pictures soon, like I said previously though I haven't got them on display yet, and won't have anything you haven't seen before.

I've got a better collection of regular wheels than Superfast at the moment, but I intend to start adding to the superfast range for a while now, I'll be on the look out for the no 29 mini, no 15 vw saloon and no 59 ford galaxy first I think.

Lee.
