From the collection of John Wale comes this Superfast Pointer truck which is fitted with an exceptionally long rear axle, and it would appear to be the only faulty axle error this year. Nice one John, thanks for sharing. |
Another heavy goods vehicle, this time it is an Albion Chieftain portland cement truck with a paint masking error leaving some of the sacks of cement coloured yellow instead of beige. I guess the mask must have slipped??. This one is from forum member Rodgers collection (tractorboy). Thanks for sharing Rodger. |
Another sealed blister card error, the last one had the car attached to the back of the card. This one has the card upside down, and just like the last one, it also comes from Hong Kong, So once again its a big thank you to Ritchie, cheers mate. |
My Studebaker Lark is not an oops claims the owner, it has simply had a puncture and now has its space saver spare fitted. nope, your not fooling anyone but good try. photo courtesy Jason (nearlymint) Thanks for sharing Jason. nice oops. |
When it come to 'oopses' I'm beginning to think this guy has the market cornered, either that or Matchbox found a way to export all of their reject toys to New Zealand. Yes you guessed it, this sealed blister card that holds a Dodge crane (minus the front axle) is another one from Steves collection (matchboxkiwi). Thanks Steve. |

Quality control must have been on holiday when this one was made, the baseplate never got riveted properly hence the model just came apart. This example is from the collection of Alwin Van Hattem, Thanks for sharing Alwin. |
