Thanks for the tips posted earlier, D110 - unfortunately the only thing I can add to that is that Oxford is pushing out more versions of that Humber Pullman casting of theirs, there's an ambulance due shortly, so it's only a matter of time before they do a hearse - the real DN over-the-cliff hearse!
I'm starting to see an downward trend in secondhand JBCC prices, looking at online auctions and fairs that I've attended lately. If this is a general trend it should make finding models for Code 3 work a bit easier. Two dealers that I buy from regularly have both recently acquired large sets (incomplete ones, missing the final issues) which they are selling off at a uniform price below original retail cost.
Glad I could be of some help! They're also going to re-release the partwork, apparently, to the American firm Diecast Direct thanks to having so much stock left over, especially from the UH issues. It's not a true re-release, but rather dumping stock. If any cherry-pickers missed a model they'd like (I can think of four I'd like), this will probably be their chance to get it. In addition to the QC-problem-plagued UH issues beyond 65 or so where you can likely buy up a second model if yours was defective, we also get the much-better-done early UH issues that we can revisit. Apparently, Ixo's issues will not be distributed in the same quantity, although they will be there. If you missed one of those, likewise, here's your chance to get it.
Good to hear about a potential Humber Pullman Hearse! :-)
I presume we could have a whole bunch of new collectors joining the thread then, and possibly revisiting the whole series all over again from issue one. It would be quite something to have another five years or so of comments! Unless of course the whole lot will be made available in the US at the same time.
Thank you for continuing to post your creations, DDenis, I'll be looking forward to seeing that Peugeot 505 set
I saw news on Facebook recently that the Batman Automobilia partwork is now extended to a minimum of 60 issues ... I'm surprised there are enough people buying that after all!
Here in South Africa we have had two new AmerCom sourced partworks recently launched, neither of which interest me: another series of 1:72 scale fighting vehicles and a series of N scale static locomotives .... who buys this stuff?? Rather, I'm hoping to see another 1:43 car collection, maybe something based on the Opel Collection in Germany which is now winding down after 95 issues so far (with lots of duplication at the end).
Anyone with spares, here are a few bits I'm looking for:
Magazines (not models, just the magazine itself) 116, 117, 124, and 125.
Also backgrounds for the Vantage (#14), Bede jet / AcroStar (#90), and Goldfinger Rolls (#97).
I have huge numbers of mint and loose models as well as magazines (mostly common issues of all) available for trade but also happy to purchase the above if you have it.
Hello
Somes news on my 'simple' models... just to continue the feeling of this collection.
Hope that some others have this 'bond' spirit...
the new one :
Wow, redneck, these are truly spectacular! I especially like the helicopter, my only complaint is that the picture should be larger than the preview.
Is this made from a plastic kit or did you modify a diecast model? Really great work on the buzzsaws! {[]
I have seen that New Ray has made an Ecureuil in 1:43 scale. This and the Dauphin are quite often used in the films, they could all be made as Bond models.
BTW, the registration of this one was a nice touch:
Good work redneck, I am waiting to see other model.!!
I did a similar just before the explosion few month ago (post 6668) in the same spirit. My idea was to have all the Colonel Moon's toy cars.
Thanks for the recap, DDenis - 33 issues beyond where Eaglemoss stopped, not bad going
Off topic, I saw a post from Eaglemoss on Facebook recently saying that the Batman Automobilia partwork has been extended to 60 issues ... I didn't realise there were that many people still buying it :v
The site still lists only as far as Issue 113 - strange, as the older Fabbri backorders site went into the 120s before it was removed. Issue 1 was never offered as a backorder AFAIR.
