bought a Matchbox F-150 today. Do someone at matchbox has access to internet or have a clue about Ford trucks ? its not the
first time they mess them up ( i have that one too, with the
corrected F350 )
What was the problem with those ? I don't see a difference between the two photos.

packaging says F-150 while the truck is a F-350
i don't think it was someone who did it , or they did it for each one they had in store
wondering if they might be worth a little something.. in 300 years...

I've got many model and old toy cars, maybe I'll post some of them in the future.
But first of all, I've got a question. I bought some weeks ago a very nice red 1990 MB 300 GE (W463) by AutoArt.
But it has some logo at the rear and I don't know what it means. Does anybody recognize this logo??

2020 might have been an horrible year for almost every one ( except masks & hand sanitizer companies , they must be loving it.. ) but at least it brought something good... some Majorette cars in a local pharmacy .. i bought 10 !
16/10/2020 @ 21:29:33: Exiv96: Model Cars......who else collects them?
Recent ones ?
17/10/2020 @ 00:34:12: Baube: Model Cars......who else collects them?
i don't know how recent they might be but in the pack there is an
Audi R8 Spyder ( and a coupe , current model , at least to me...
) ,
Porsche 918 ,
McLaren 675LT recent-looking
Toyota Hilux Revo ( mine is drk grey with a bed cap ) &
HiAce , a
Corolla that looks mid 2010's
the others , that i don't know really well ( ok, in those i named above there is a few i don't know much either.. ) are Opel Adam , Renault Twingo ( looks way bigger than the original so i assume its a recent one ) and a VW Multivan ( said to be T6 )
i guess they might be old stock in Europe but when you didn't saw any in years...
17/10/2020 @ 02:39:32: Exiv96: Model Cars......who else collects them?
The Hilux and Hiace are from last year, the others are a bit older. Anyway, there is a date de fabrication printed on the chassis of each car, so you can see how recent they are. It begins with "BK".
17/10/2020 @ 03:54:01: Baube: Model Cars......who else collects them?
assuming it goes by day/month/year they would be built between february and june 2019
17/10/2020 @ 22:06:12: Exiv96: Model Cars......who else collects them?
Which is as recent as the ones I see in Belgium and France, in these COVID times...

some hope for Hot Wheels.. after seeing way too many weird designs, i got a pair of 1996 Chevy Impala SS , a pair of 1991 GMC Syclone and a 2020 RAM 1500 Rebel, among others...
What makes it even more strange is that i bought them at my local Dollar Store, which has by far a greater choice than Walmart or Toys R Us ...

Coincidence, I bought them too this Friday ! I thought I wouldn't be able to find much in term of 3-inch toy cars this year, for obvious reasons, but I managed to find most of 2020's interesting Hot Wheels, a few Matchbox and some Majorette cars (thanks to unexpected local sales outlets, a few trips across the french border and one to Germany).
02/11/2020 @ 16:31:37: Baube: Model Cars......who else collects them?
well.. that's a coincidence..
good thing is now they did the Syclone, maybe we'll have the Typhoon too..

Despite my complete lack of skills in this area I have a new lockdown project. What can possibly go wrong?
I've also got a Jag XJ-S one but this seems to be worth actual money in bits so I want to see how badly the Transit goes before destroying it.

British Gas livery and LHD - an interesting combination. And riding high as if 4wd ....
19/02/2021 @ 21:45:21: Sandie: Model Cars......who else collects them?
It can be built RHD, at least.
There are quite a few things wrong with it, a pretty big one being that, as far as I can find, British Gas didn't use standard MK2 Transits. I might pretend it's one of the County Tractor 4wd jobs they actually had. Assuming I don't end up gluing it to the table.
19/02/2021 @ 22:23:59: dsl: Model Cars......who else collects them?
Slightly surprised that gas had 4wd things. I can understand it for leccy or BT as they need to get to rural areas and up shitty tracks to remote locations, but gas is essentially urban where mains systems exist underneath streets, so they don't really need to go anywhere difficult. But googling produces some pics of gas landies and Mk3 transit 4wd, so they clearly had a few macho things - for winter emergencies??
Good luck and don't glue yourself to the table either.

got a pair of Majorette today
an orange
Opel Corsa and a
Citroen C3 ( i bought it thinking it was an Aircross but.. well.. as said in contests, sorry try again.. ) .
i think i might have found a little Majorette mine, they even had an articulate bus and
this , both in various colors . Was expensive but maybe i should have bought some ...
what would be the approximative year range for the Corsa and the C3 ?
