It may have something to do with the fact that this is the allegedly scarcer issue containing the GMC Wrecker with the misspelled "POLIOE".



Widely publicised at the time and therefore popular with collectors.

I do not think they ever made this in England - AFAIK all of those Matchbox Thunderbirds models were made in China.

Those were made in 1992/3, and the very last Matchbox diecast models made in England were produced in 1987.

I think Daz meant he was going to be looking for the Japanese Thunderbirds set with the British "FAB 1" model, under the impression there was a set with a Japanese model inside.

To make it clearer, Bandai issued a Thunderbirds set that includes the Matchbox "FAB 1" model instead of their own Japanese made "FAB 1" model. Set shown below.

So I wont bother looking for a made in England FAB1 .

I never noticed the polioe it was just an impulse buy walking around Toys are US. can I retire if I sell it
