hey TomCat,
I don't have any of those,
but if ya see any on e-bay over here that won't let ya bid on them
because they only ship to America, let me know, I'll bid on them for ya,
Then send em on to ya.
I've run into that with collecting buckles, can't bid cause they only ship to England.
Had to get one of the members over there to win em for me, then paypal him.

Hanso , they are not that expensive really ... just a bit hard to find.


Skip, thanks appreciate the offer.

Tomcat,
see if any of these strike your fancy.
Item number: 400274971588
Item number: 350567893949
Item number: 400275428273
Item number: 170685917342
Item number: 170789563811
The last one is a little expensive for my tastes,
but hey, if you're collecting them,
it might be one you want.

Thanks Skip, i was only able to get the last one to open up. Actually have a few of the newer Jap tinplates and a couple of the new German repos. I do keep an eye on E-Bay but they are nearly always out of my price range. Most of the ones on E-Bay are in really good condition .. the ones i am able to afford are in ' played with ' condition as they call it... ' pretty flogged ' would be a better term

Watching one of the pawn(yes pawn) shows on telly one night and a few old toy bikes and cars came in the shop, the guy was saying that the original boxes can be as valuable as the toys

Thanks mate , actually have most of them... it's the older beat-up ones that i really like to find. Must be some sort of ' void-filler ' from my deprived childhood
