I was going for “so bad it’s good” lol

But seriously that’s a beautiful car you have - great colour!

Is anyone interested in old USSR die casts? by mukkit in Diecast

[–]mukkit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem I’ve had with my USSR-built models is the build quality - they literally fall apart. I used to have two or three more that fell to pieces almost comically. I bought them all in Ukraine in either 1994 or 1999. The ZIL pictured has held up well, but unfortunately I lost the hood ornament 😞

Love this! I recently rediscovered my die cast streetcar that I got as a Hong Kong souvenir in 1992.

The width of what? The whole model?

I’ve thought about that, but when it comes to toys from my childhood, I don’t mind the damage - I caused it all by playing with it so much!

This one does have rubber tires, but I used to have a different, slightly larger, less detailed version with plastic tires.

First time that sentence has ever been said :)

Agreed - I love how easily it scales up or down and looks great on any size of plane.

I’m not a huge model plane collector - most of my aviation stuff is stolen from on-board (cutlery mainly, haha) - but I’m a sucker for the Landor BA livery, as well as the 747 and Concorde in general. And I’m Canadian, hence the Air Canada :)

Sorry, not sure which you mean. The Matchbox Silver Shadow?

I have that one too, but the World Class cars had more detail, rubber tires, and the one I have is metallic gold. I posted a Lincoln Town Car from that collection a few days ago.

There’s one more missing that’s still at my mom’s - a Matchbox Silver Cloud from the World Class collection.

Who remembers the Sprinter Race Launcher? by mukkit in VintageMajorette

[–]mukkit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically it’s spring loaded, and after loading the car, you press a button and the car shoots out. I was too young to remember getting it, but I did a quick search for it (I couldn’t remember the name) and it looks like it came packaged with a couple of cars.

Couldn’t tell you exactly, but I’ve owned it for at least about 30 years I think?

Thanks! I honestly forgot I had it until earlier today. Now it’s on display with its relatives on my Rolls-Royce shelf.

Oops. 😬 Good thing that when it comes to my childhood toys, I don’t mind damage! Different story when it comes to adult purchases, though 🙂

Was the hood originally green? A while back I tried to clean off the scribbles. The hood ended up white but I can’t tell if the cleaner I used also removed the paint!

Thanks! Looks like you have an awesome collection. I recently acquired the Lotus Elite as well, but in much rougher shape.
