As promised, pics of that new find at Walmart:








I got an extra if somebody wants to trade. I'm looking for that Italian Job CR/W from this same maker or one of the new Best Of The British vans as seen above.

I have been finding those pretty readily here and have been too busy to make a photo to post. I found the first one in a Wal Mart in Northern Michigan. I also found the 1:87 Italian Job in blue but have not found the other colors. Both are by Malibu International.

Mishka clued me in to a new Foxtons on eBay (on the UK eBay), so I'm planning to bid on that. FYI. Having been buying much die cast lately but the Foxtons are so different that I always want to get them when I have the chance.

Just to clarify. I hope you knew that I was referring to this cream van:



If so, PM me your address and I'll ship yours out in the morning.

Hey thanks! The one I was sniped on is the 2007 (below).



I'm missing a bunch of them though so I'll have to check on what I have and let you know. Thanks!

That's just not right. Doesn't the other bidder know you're supposed to get the Foxtons?

I'll keep looking for more.

We just missed out on the deal of the century. This guy sold his entire collection to some guy on THIS board for $250. By my calculations, that's less than an average of $4.50 each (full range of scales from 1:64 on up).

I'm glad somebody else picked them up, because it would have been too tempting of a deal, even though it would have meant a few duplicates.

Cool. It's good to know it isn't just a overseas thing. BTW, Bobbie - I still haven't made it to the post office, but your box is packed and ready to ship.
