Toy Talk

Hi Tony I have a 1960’s tin combat jeep. I was trying to contact you as I am wanting to sell and seeing if you would be interested?

Hi there,

I work for an American television show that follows a toy hunter around the world looking for vintage toys. We are interested in perhaps coming to Australia and wanted to speak with you about your collection. Thanks so much.

Hello, I noticed that you have not only a steel blue version of the Corgi Rover #252, but also a darker blue version. I have been trying to find one of these darker blue versions everywhere but it seems impossible to find. Do you recall where you picked it up?

I have a collection of about 300-400 corgi models (I only collect Corgi up to about 1973) but haven’t had the chance to put up a “museum” yet as you have done. Nice Job! Chris

I am writing a press article about toys (from yesterdays and from nowadays) about the GREY FERGUSON TRACTOR TE20.
There will be several famous manufacturer like LEGO in Darnmark and I would like to include you TE20 model.
So could you send me a photo of your “Tractor reproduced by WEICO for Bobs Farmyard”.
Waiting for this photo to be sent by e-mail.
Best regards.

G’day mate,
I have come across a WEICO EH Holden 1/87 scale still in it’s original display packaging.

The car is flawless but the packaging has some slight damage due to being in a box of assorted bits and pieces, though it (the protruded plastic) could be pretty well straightened out and it would be hardly noticeable. There is a very small tear in the cardboard (about 3mm) on the left hand side of the cardboard backing but again this seems it could be repaired so as un-noticeable.

I am interested in selling it if you happen to know anyone in the market but before I put it on ebay I thought I’d drop you a line as it seems you do not have that one listed at least: in your collection.

Just wondering if you could let me know roughly how much they are worth?

Please give me an email or feel free to drop me a line.

Kind Regards

Hi, I found your site when looking for any reference to Merrytoys diecast vehicles. In clearing out old boxes I found a pair of “Merrytoys” jeeps. In poor condition – 3 axles and 5 wheels between them, no windscreens or steering wheels. Happy to give them to an enthusiast if of any interest.

Hi Tony,I are Dutchman in Thailand and looking for the Garage repair hoist Micro or Lincoln GB14 can You find? it is nice to see Your collection,thanks before for Your reaction,Herman Chiang Mai.

Hi Tony,

I’ve got a MERIT (late 50’s / early 60’s) Donald Campbell boat unmade in the original box with instructions, all pieces, original glue. Is this something you’d be interested in buying. I have only seen 3 x for sale ever. And currently I have 2 x of them.

Please feel free to email me if you’d like to see pics or discuss further.

thanks,
Trevor
