There we go.

Where did you buy them??

 

[yabiggoose]

Where did you buy them??

eBay hahahaha

 

[Apok]

I just came back from vacation and a load of trash (with a few exceptions) was waiting for me.


Toyota Celica Majorette. Future custom probably.

VW Golf by Majorette. Future custom.

Another Saab Turbo! It's got an erm... glaring error. Future resto.

A Ford Transit by Matchbox. I liked the daft 'Motorsport' design at first, but I'll probably turn this into a branded truck of something I like. Beer for example.

Now this is something I actually won't butcher. I left the better stuff for last.
Tomica Lotus Esprit. I really like this one actually. Sadly there's a crack in the windshield.

Pop up headlights!

Last one in the box!
2CV by Corgi in pretty good condition. One chip on the front and some damage on the top which I didn't bother taking a picture of.

And I don't want to hear it @Cano! I know you probably got these cars at some sort of flea market for a fistfull of pebbles or something. Don't care.


And now for something completely different.
TLV BMW 3 series. All Cano's fault. I paid a bit too much for it, but I'll blame that on Cano as well.
You know what, everything is Cano's fault. Screw that guy.

Where did you buy them??

eBay's a sporadic source for Beads. For something more consistent, global.rakuten is the way to go for a specific variety of Beads.

 

[Cano]

Could you give us a rough estimate of how many of these may still be around (judging from the marketplace)?

It's hard to assess. As Cipsas were local-market only, made under license by a plastic company -Cipsa Plasticos is still alive and well today, retired from the toy business long ago but still making plastic home appliances, I have a bucket made by tehm ; sadly, no one has been able to trace down any people that worked at the company when they made these things- and production records, I've been told, were lost at a factory fire, so enthusiasts have worked with what we have and is still dug out... for instance, Ahmed found a Cipsa this past saturday, a blue Whip Creamer. Recently a Cipsa Odd Job still in it's blister pack surfaced in Germany, of all places. It now resides in Mexico with a friend of mine after a 800-dollar transaction, which shows you how much the market for Cipsas has bottomed.

As for the Swingin' Wing, it's one of the most common Cipsas, with abgout 50 or so examples known in several colors, many of them Cipsa-exclusive, as mine, and none of them with the original swinging wing attached. I know of about maybe 10-15 Swingin' Wings in this color.

Also, that 1:43 Corgi Beetle is absolutely awesome.

You know what, everything is Cano's fault. Screw that guy.

TROLOLOLOOLOL

Also, nice trash, love the Saab. I had never seen the Corgi 2CV, out of all the stuff you've posted I'd say that one is the best piece, it's awesome and damn so minty. Also congrats on the TLV bimmer, here's to a good start of never-ending spending.

ssshhh I still owe John the write up of last year's Matchbox find , but I haven't had the time to do it ):

Yeah, it was the only near-mint car from that seller strangely

shatap and moar pics.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just submitted a total price request for way too many Greenlights. I might have an addiction..

 

[Cano]

Following up on the "clean my mess" stuff, the lot of you will remember mt most recent Cipsa, the red Cokcney Cab that was part of the massive Magic Kings Day find I came across last year. The thing isn't nearly as dirty as the other cars since it just spent a year grabbing dust:

Here it is all flashy and neat, like you guys saw it for the first time. Fortunately it didn't deteriorate all that much.

Found a funking listing.

Time Attack Ford

This! ^ He's a bad influence..

Here, see what he made me do:



Don't worry, i haven't purchased 3 of them, just a separate pic to show the comparison size of the HW Stratos.

 

[Cano]

:0 omfg, you bought another one?

 

[photonrider]

This page is getting really, really annoying.
I'm used to Cano bugging me, and Apok getting on my nerves, but when the evil Darkter Vader appears with die-cast drugs, it does not do an addict any good.

I don't want to see that 2CV ever again.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Order placed for:

This, this, this, this, this, this, this and this.

Real tire tread!
There's also a Corgi Citroen Dyane which I wouldn't mind getting in the future.

 

[R5]

Another Saab Turbo! It's got an erm... glaring error. Future resto.

Should have got a Citroën DS. That would be but a slight inconvenience

 

[photonrider]

Obviously the wrong thing to say.

@Apok, What do you get when you flip a 2CV upside down?

I don't want to see that 2CV ever again.

Are you okay with seeing other 2CVs?

 

[Apok]

@Apok, What do you get when you flip a 2CV upside down?

Ooh my god! To think I never noticed it was a boat in disguise!

 

[Cano]

That 2CV is properly awesome in every way. Great piece.

 

[Nessy]

Took some pics of the car i received from Japan the other day.

I love this thing, though i'm not sure i can bring myself to destroy it like i'd originally planned.. Maybe i'll just admire it for a bit, before i decide.




TLV Porsche (WIP), is just to show scale.

It's do damn cute

So adorable. Great score, love the colour of it. 👍

 

[Nessy]

Also scored this, to give it some Kei car company.





(Again, TLV 911 and Jag, just to show 1/64 scale)



This one will definitely be getting some custom treatment.. well, a wheel swap at-least, (screw base, no rivets).

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oooooo, I must have that.

Hum, that is really good-looking, I have to say. Perhaps moreso than the Fronte. I wouldn't change a thing on it, but that's me. And that Copen and the AZ-1 would be really good purchases too...
