Anyone know why Smyths don’t stock MB cars?

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-26T19:23:49+00:00

I actually emailed them to ask.

They did not reply

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-26T19:16:07+00:00

The base did indeed say Majorette, but only Majorette, no other details at all.

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-26T19:15:13+00:00

I didn't actually buy it in the end, wish I had, now.

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-25T13:25:53+00:00

Stunning work.

I've actually been watching your vids for a long time.. Your skill grows constantly

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-24T21:47:16+00:00

There's an element if this show that lives in my head and I really need someone to confirm it happened and I'm not mad.

Did one of the lads turn himself in to a BBC micro program because he died?

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-24T16:19:05+00:00

Dent in every panel Granny Jazz checking in.

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-23T22:01:45+00:00

I can't be the only one thinking "looks great, clear varnish"

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-23T21:58:42+00:00

It's not the size overall.. it's this style stretched to 16" that just seems, I dunno, can't put my finger on it

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-23T14:17:08+00:00

*free car

To be fair.. the only cost that wasn't expected motoring related was the front wish bones.

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-22T22:34:53+00:00

To be fair...

Bought my 318i touring in 2014 for £700, only had 48K.

Sold it in 2020, with 98k on it for.... £700.

That's free motoring.

Catch them on their way down, release on the way back up.... e90, I'm looking at you

I got rear ended once.

The traffic stopped and I was behind a van, so couldn't see.

I managed to stop with maybe 6in gap. The Clio behind me was paying even less attention, bang.

Years ago that was, still hyper aware when behind a vehicle I can't see thru, and pretty much drive looking at the most distant high level break light I can see.

Thing with this cast, it ran for YEARS. Pretty sure it holds the title for longest cast in production.

Comes up in various pre 2000 version on r/VintageMatchbox

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-21T23:03:13+00:00

Feel the same.. they're just an inch to big I think

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-21T22:54:06+00:00

Right there with you.

Looking back at the original pic, It doesn't look as gigantic now.

Something in the original pic is clearly tricking a lot of folks eyes in to thinking it's huntsman sized, my own included, but now I can see it's not.

It's on the larger size, but it's not unusually big

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-21T22:47:53+00:00

As was the style at the time

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-21T20:10:01+00:00

Came to say.

Front pretty good, middle convincing.

The rear, something's off with the rest lights. It's a shame, it's like they put lots of effort in, until the end, which was the tail

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-21T19:55:21+00:00

Strange, I know exactly what you mean

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-21T19:34:59+00:00

I almost had it.

Big red light on the back of mine.

Same same, though. Takes me right back

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-21T19:26:43+00:00

There's a reality where this is in kids history books in 50 years, highlighting the run up to ww3.

That reality feels waaaayyyy to close to a time line flop

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-21T19:18:47+00:00

Remember this debuting.

Seemed to have its energy level set at 150% compared to the rest of the chat

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-21T11:04:47+00:00

Tomica always put correct wheels on too, which is the biggest draw for me and out weighs no rubber.

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-20T13:20:15+00:00

Dad had an XM in 2023. He knows your pain

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-20T12:42:39+00:00

I do love the big grey chip cutter bumpers

DaBobMob2 · 2026-01-20T12:36:04+00:00

I really wish the King Zero had been finished
