Forum: Focus on Small Scale!

Hey all, I was just out again with my son and popped into one of the local toy shops (Smyths) and had a look down the car aisle and noticed that the 10 pack of Pioneer models that they usually had in had a couple of new models that I hadn't seen before. They are the current generation of the...

Hi guys! Got this today in downtown Santiago (looking for Welly and those Chinese Camry, finding none of those): http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/7735/img5009q.jpg "Power diecast" "Let's go!!" and all the typical Chinese-knock-off packaging scripts. I wasn't getting it at first, with that...

Hi Everyone, bought them this morning at the flea market. Most are 1/43 scale, one is slightly larger. The person that I got them from said they were purchased in Russia. Did not take them out of the box but they look like pullbacks. Vadim (refresh the page if pics won't come up) ...

Although I am really trying to keep focus on my beloved regular wheels... I sometimes find it hard to leave models like these behind when hunting through an antique collectibles show. I fear I'll never be able to quit collecting the other brands. Here's a Dinky Dublo Bedford Flat and a Lego...

found a nice Guy worrior car transporter, a new Husky to restore and two models for the trading box. Question: Porsche's are really not my cup of tea so I don't know if this 959 in this Blister is something special? Is is something special? No idea who is the maker of the Mercedes 170 V...

I had to work today but this gave me also the chance to visit the small flea market that is each weekend in the City. Found nice stuff today: one near mint Trailer and a vsc Daimler Bus - I couldn't leave the Trailer because of its good condition but what to do now with a trailer with missing...

At the train show last weekend I ran across a dealer with some Siku, I think it was the first time I ran across the brand at a train show...but it could be that I was always too late. Although this guy was new, and said he just moved down from the north, so maybe it really isn't typical to find...

These cam in an old Lego set that I purchased a few years ago. Pretty darned detailed too! http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d14/barninestephens/Other%20Die-Cast/garage2-1.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d14/barninestephens/Other%20Die-Cast/garage3.jpg

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f319/Box-13/MCCH/Posts/HWSpeedMachinesEnzoFerrari.jpg This one seems even nicer than the Ferrari Racer version. Too many blue Ferrari cars lately. The regular range 308 GTS is a peg warmer. - Michael

It's a "Road Mates" parking garage but it does have Matchbox cars on the box art as well as some other off brands, but it's not a car, nor is it a set so I really have no idea other than here where the appropriate forum is. :confused: Anyhow, it was put out by Sears back in the early to mid 70's...

This is a promo video for what is billed as the world's largest train set. The cars and trucks shown here are pretty amazing too. Mostly German HO plastic with some custom electronics going on. If you reside in Germany, near this attraction, I envy you. ...
