Bought a friend for Christine . How should i call it ? Christina ? Christiane ? Kristin ?

Also got a 2022 Mustang Mach 1

Got a 2016 Charger Hellcat but it looks poorly assembled . I was about to buy a Camaro but it looks even worse.. is there a general drop in quality or its just a little oops thet concerns only a few cars ?

Same goes for AW , which might have the same wheels for both the Probe and the Firebird Formula

Recently acquired by Baube's never-ending parking lot :

1964 Buick Riviera
Mercedes Sprinter that looks more like a scientific van than a camper...

Bumblebee but somehow i think that would be a better result if they took the Matchbox version of the Beetle
McLaren F1 that strangely looks like the one Rowan Atkinson used to have

Mustang LX 5.0 and SVO . What if funny is that they did a nearly perfect job painting the SVO's tail lights and left the LX's without any paint on them
With that color , i really wish it was the hatchback one...

a Scout pick-up , more or less..
When you live in a country where winter unleashes its fury nearly 6 months a year ( ok,, this year was exceptional..) , you'll eventually need one of these ..

Normally , i would not buy this thing but it glows in the dark..
I already have a few Cougar but with this color , the Eliminator just eliminated my will to resist buying another one...

Ooops. Yes.

I guess you meant to include a link ? Was it perchance this one ?

Yes I was aware of all these variations, but the one I've been fancing more than the others was the Panther black RR 20V as it matches my very favourite car. Obviously they didn't make big efforts to differentiate all the variations for obvious production costs so the model is not 100% accurate - they kept the same old front grille with the small Audi rings for every model when it should have been different at least in the 1987 Pearl white and the 20V.
I got the Ashes to Ashes 'single' model back when it was still fair though.





Not quite to be honest, I got these on ebay.

I had many of the Vanguards quattros when they came out, but didn't love them enough so sold most of them on. This page lists all the variations - scroll down to VA129. I think most are fairly easy to find without bursting your wallet - even the chromed one (edition size about 600) and the white LHD (another edition of about 600 from memory, less than the RHD). However the 2 red Ashes to Ashes can now cost squillions, although there's a fair number out there. They're slightly different as the solo Corgi is plain livery, but its twin in the set has bullet hole stickers from the series finale - sometimes lots, sometimes hardly any.

Does Rochdale have model shops??

Nice

I had to leave all my collections at home in Italy (for now) so let me introduce my first purchases in the new Country, something that I could not find at reasonable prices before:



Corgi Vanguards Audi quattro 20V
Matchbox Superkings Audi quattro (which came with a nice smell of old stuff)

Bought these yesterday, cost me around 1,580 TWD (or $50 USD)
My favorite model is actually the Ford Transit, it's heavy for a 1/64 model 😍

My next target would be Mini GT Lincoln Capri, it got 7 variants but I only received two of them

i'm not a big fan of race cars but from a collector's point of view ,
