  • From Chris Benedict on Farm Vehicles

    Hello, I’m writing to you because I need to order some tires for a Cattle truck two sets also need one set of tires for a horse box ( 4 tires ) . I also need to order set of tires for a Unimog with Goose neck trailer, that’s five tires for the Unimog truck and one pair of the taller tires for the Gooseneck trailer. Their is some other items I need to order but, can do that on eBay. I will wait to her from you on this order, that’s if I have done it correctly. Would it be easier if I first did an order on eBay then this other order can be added to it. Again I will wait for your response to see if everything can be ordered on one invoice. Thank you very much and look forward to hear from you.
    Best regards,
    Chris Benedict

      Hi Chris

      The easiest option is if you register an account at the recovertoy shop and place an order directly.

      While RecoverToy sells on ebay our on-line store has 4000+ line items with more added each month, many of which we will probably never promote on ebay.

      I’ll email you directly with more details.

      cheers

  • From Bill Newbon on Micro Models - Australia

    Hi Tony,
    Looking at your Micro Australian toy cars. Are you selling any of the cars or is it just for us to view your collection. I have a few of the cars and looking to build on the collection. Thank you, Bill

      Hi Bill

      The items on this site are not for sale but I do have items come up from time to time and I advertise on eBay or via the RecoverToy web store.

      Let me know if there is a specific model you want.

      cheers

  • From Mal Graham on Australian Made Toys

    I have one of those Merrytoys Jeeps. Do you know how many different models they made? I also have a Condon diecast Muir Hill Dumper which was made in the UK. My collection is mainly Dinky but I also have almost all of the Micro model body shapes, I will never be able to collect all of the colours which were available. Best Regards Mal.

    • From admin on Australian Made Toys

      Hi Mal

      The Merry Toys jeep is the only car that they did as far as I know. They also had a helicopter (which I’d love to buy from some one!!)

      Micro Models were done in many colours both in Australia and New Zealand in the later issues, and yes collecting all the original colours would be a challenge.

      Thanks for looking at my collection and keep in touch.

      cheers
