Hello to all my collector friends, It has come to pass that due to issues surrounding some buyers, their attitudes, and the way they have treated me over the last few months has mean that the diecast lifestyle I enjoyed for 40 years, has become more of a pain, rather than something I loved - so it is now time to retire - All outstanding orders will be fulfilled ! More in the newsletter in Dec'
I have conversed with, and met a lot of people over the years, and have become online friends with them, I will continue to cherish those friendships as I downsize my own personal collection of over 22,000 models, nearly all mint and boxed.
I will be listing these models on my new eBay pages, where they no longer charge a fee for "toys" so it is cheaper still to sell, I am sorry but my failing health, and the way I have been treated over the last few months means I have now had enough, retirement beckons, at long last.

ANNUAL HOLIDAYS
I am on Holiday, from the 2nd September 2023 to the 23rd September 2023
Any items that sell either on my eBay site or here, that subsequently sell out, but are also sold on the other site, will be allocated to the person that placed the order first - items will be shipped on a first ordered first shipped basis.
Please do not worry if you hear nothing, I am not taking my laptop with me on this trip, so the chances of being able to respond will be remote, I will reply if I am able too, if circumstance change whilst away.
I will still be able to take bespoke orders, so please do so if necessary, and items on PRE-ORDER that appear with suppliers whilst away will be held until my return, then shipped.
All in stock items will be shipped on my return.
Thank you for your understanding in this.

NON UK DELIVERYS
DUE TO CONTINUED REQUESTS - I HAVE TO PUT THIS AGAIN - FOR THE THIRD TIME - unfortunately due to the continued efforts of the postal services in many non UK countries destroying and losing items, we will no longer supply items to ANYONE outside of the UK, if this is you, I am sorry, but the cost and effort in attempting to get the money back, is taking months, and I am no longer prepared to stand the losses. I am still selling items via my eBay account to most worldwide countries, as eBay do the sending.

CHRISTMAS DELIVERY
Due to the heavy delivery schedules of ALL postal and courier services in the UK at this time of the year, and me noting that deliveries are taking a lot longer already, I can NOT guarantee that any orders placed on or after 18th December 2021 will arrive BEFORE Christmas, please place your orders early to avoid disappointment.
09/12/2021
NEW DEPOSITS OPTION
Now that the year is coming to a close, I am trialing a new deposits option, it will be for a % of the value of the item, then it will be ordered and paid for by myself, when the item arrives, you will be required to pay the remainder of the payment, there are T & C's attached, so please do read them, carefully, failure to pay when due forfeits the deposit, I am not prepared to pay for an item to then be left with it, I am not in a position to be able to hold masses of models, so, please do have a look, and any questions feel free to DM me..
24/11/2021
BLACK FRIDAY (UPDATED)
BLACK FRIDAY IS HERE - Yes, it is that time of the year where we have a blow out, there are many items already listed, a lot of them are brand new items, only just released and received, many are old favourites that need to be cleared out ready for more new stock, either way, everything under the BLACK FRIDAY is reduced, so get them while they are there, as one they are gone, they are gone..... AND I AM KEEPING IT THERE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
18/09/2021
TAXATION
For NON UK sales you must be fully aware that I will under NO Circumstances "fiddle" the customs declarations, these are legal requirments, and I am not prepared to be prosecuted for them, I will put down the value of the item, LESS the postage cost on all customs declaration forms - it is then your responsibility to pay these charges when the items arrive in your country.

COVID
I know, just as we had all hoped things were going to be better, the country is in the midst of yet another wave of the dreaded virus, and it looks to be getting worse, and not better, please accept my sympathies for those that have lost someone over the last 19 months from this evil pandemic, and I hope that you all remain safe and sound.
The point of this message is this, I have had many people ask "WHERE IS MY ITEM", well, I ask that nearly daily too, but this virus is hitting many diecast brands hard, as they are nearly all ASIA Based, production, distribution and transportation have been hit, and virtually ALL release schedules have been, well, ignored, as they can not keep to them, dates have been moved, in some cases, upto 10 months, so, please be aware, any and all pre-orders are expected to be late, and as soon as I know ANYTHING you will be advised. - and LASTLY, ANYONE, that abuses, threatens or makes any nasty or foul comments in messages or phone calls, will be blocked, reported and your order will be cancelled, with a fee taken. - NO EXCEPTIONS, I will not be abused.
25/10/2021
CHRISTMAS
YES, IT IS THAT TIME AGAIN - AGHHHH - With just two months until Christmas, now is the time that you need to be thinking about those gifts you want to get for your loved ones, I would recommend that you get in early (Most of mine have been purchased already), any items that are on PRE-ORDER, please be aware that I can not guarantee that they will be here in time for the festive season, Covid has made any scheduled dates irrelevant, also, any orders that are made after the 19th December, again, no guarantee of arrival before hand can be made. but I WILL try my best for you.
15/02/2023
BESPOKE ORDERS
I am happy to take bespoke orders for items for the coming year, whether they be matchbox to OTTO, if the items are available for me to order, I will sort you a price based on today's RRP, of course, if the brand raises prices between now and release a revised price will be made, it will still be cheaper than RRP and in the majority of cases include postage to the UK only.
SO please just ask, and I will see what I can locate for you. And if the price is large, I can do a deposit payment scheme for you, again, just ask.

POSTAGE
I would like to remind everyone that the free postage option is for the UK ONLY, any and all NON UK sales will have to pay the cost of postage to your country after the sale is complete, I am currently able to offer postage to many countries at a lower rate than EBAY charges, as they do make a vast amount over and above set pricing.
