Well, so far Roger I have been very entertained by your sets of pictures with some really nice models, many of them looking to be in minty condition. I look forward to be entertained even more, so I've got me Pop Corn, a couple of Orange Kiora's and ready for the next showing...

Yeah Ghosty, i thought about going to bed and then i made a mistake and took a last look here - gimme some of your pop corn, i bring chocolate cookies

Chocolate cookies, great!

I think the main feature is yet to come.

You know the part in the horror movie where you think to yourself .......... "Don't go in the cupboard".

Tractorboy, that's got to be the best collection in New Zealand.
About what percentage is New Zealand sourced?
Great collection, well done.

Cheers, Steve

Thanks Steve - pretty sure there are some bigger collections out there. Gradually getting things out of cupboards, drawers and filing cabinets to share.
Lucky it's the "Long Weekend"
Fairly even split with TM & eBay purchases - some private purchases from Collector's Fairs & markets.

A wonderful collection. Lots of variations to behold!!

Last night I dreamt that I was walking in New Zealand and had lost my way.
All of a sudden, out of nowhere comes a boy with a tractor.
He offers me a lift and takes me to his home nearby to recuperate.
While drinking a cup of tea I discover all these cupboards and cabinets full of lovely Matchbox models around me.
Next moment the alarm clock wakes me up, I go to my computer and see Tractorboy's Treasures on the VBD forum.
And my dream comes true............................
