Greetings from New York 10 years, 2 months ago #1

Expert Boarder
Hello all! I've been collecting for years - thought I knew diecast until I stated reading here - wow, what a wealth of information you all share here. I have a Corgi collection that started since the first one was purchased for me over 40 years ago. Along with that, I have hundreds of varieties. I look forward to chatting with all of you! Thanks!

Hi "Charlie Brown" and welcome, we need more Corgi collectors on the site. Show us some photos of your favourite Corgis.


This is one of my favourite models

Dinkydi - Thanks!  My love is Corgi's - have some Dinky's from my dad - lost him about 10 years ago - he was my hero. I try to buy Corgis at shows I attend - prices have been on the rise. Heres some pictures of my favorites. The last image of the Land Rover was the first Corgi ever purchased for me. I was probably 10 years old at the time - I played with that truck more than you can imagine. I'll be 53 this year. Of all I own - that one means the most to me. Enjoy!

Welcome from BC Canada, again. Glad to have you aboard. Nice Corgi collection you have there. Beats me to you know where and back. I have a few though like the Bond Aston in Silver, an ambulace or two and a couple vans, Karriers. I like to do Mr Whippy Vans from Mr Softee and have done a couple others as restos.


Would love to see some of your photos of some of your choice rarer ones. Looks like you may have a few in there.

Hi There, what a nice collection you got there, very interested in the VW Split screen single cab and trailer, with the F1 cars, very nice setup.

Re: Greetings from New York 10 years, 2 months ago #14

Greetings! The VW is another that was a purchase from my childhood years - I probably got it as a birthday or Christmas present. I've had it since new - and played with it often, and it managed to stay in great condition - many years ago.. I'll post some additional photos later tonight.

Here she is - has a small hole in the front windshield, otherwise in nice shape for being played with so much. Still has the tow hook! I always loved the detail and look of the Formula 1 cars. I believe the set came with the yellow one - and the red was purchased? Or maybe the set came with both. Long time ago. Enjoy!
