Yay… I won the T-Shirt….. thank you. I loved the history of the shop in the live tour video and I was wondering if you could give people an overview or your thoughts on past toy shops in Blackpool such as Bateson’s and Beattie’s when you are unboxing the Beach Buggy. They were awesome places to visit as a kid and I think seeing the Beach Buggy reminded me of that back wall in Beattie’s when it was stacked (floor to ceiling) with Tamiya cars. Plus it had all the Scalextric cars on display as well. Bateson’s on the other hand had a working model train set on the first floor and an amazing selection of Airfix models (showing my age now). Great times. 👍
its funny i was chatting about the old toy stores in blackpool the other day ! Congratulations if you DM me your details on Facebook or instagram i'll send it to you ! stay safe M
I got the replica of the first DB5 (261) from the "Corgi Model Club" and I think they really did a great job and put a lot of "love" into it. Now I sincerely hope they will think about doing the same thing with the 270 with the same box as the one you are showing in this video and the Batmobile (!st edition please). I miss so much the DB5 270 I used to have as a kid. It brings back the youth in me every time I see one like this one. It looks brand new. I hope these two dreams will come true.
Congratulations on the James Bond finds, I have never seen a revolving number plate one, but I had the gold one as a boy. I already have the modern he-man, I always wanted one/castle greyskull as a boy, but the vintage ones are silly money and I quite like the modern version. The lotus sub car is also awesome, never had one as a boy, but I do have one of the smaller corgi ones, but not in good condition. I have quite a few of the modern day James Bond models, including little Bessy, which I always wanted. Also thanks for the shout out and actually won something wow!
I also had the Lotus 269 with the exact same box you are showing ; with the yellow tools inside the red 0 and the NEW label. I still remember what I was doing when my mom surprised me with it. We were playing hide and seek in the house, I was hiding in clothes locker in my bedroom and when she found me she gave me this. I wasn't expecting it and it was a real surprise. I also miss that one. It was at the time ('70s) when you could easily find Corgi's Toys in Montreal. Now you could have a hard time trying to find any Corgi's here. It's very sad. There was an issue with mine , which my mother got a replacement for me. Unfortunately , the same issue repeated itself on the replacement as well ; the fins would not remain inside.
Fascinating video as usual, did corgi produce a avengers set, always in white,because I've the white one was in season 4 and in season 5,diana Rigg drove a powder blue lotus elan, did corgi produce a blue variation?
Did I not mention that the original James bond 261 was redesigned from the existing db4 model hence the wrong rear light cluster which was not the one on the reissued model (although I think it is on the version that came odd to the corgi club members)
Great picks mate👍 hard to get them nowadays! Love it😉💝
