I wish matchbox would use some of their older castings agian, kind of like how hotwheels does it. That would be pretty neat.

..Wow...!......great pics PENSNO1... you have a nice collection there...:thumbsup:
....the Wildlife truck Rola-matic is in great shape...do you have others of this series.....?

The Blue Shark is by far my favorite MB from when I was a kid. I have to dig my MB cars out now.... :freak:

Bugzy,
Thanks for the compliments. I do have more Rola-matics. But, this and the other MB pictures was all I had in Photo Bucket. I would have to get them out and take some more pictures.
I have a few hundred MB in my collection. I really like the older stuff and have been adding to my collection a lot lately.

That's really cool! Thanks for the pic. I like it! I might have to try and find one of those.

Oh wow! I posted that first post before I kept reading. I like the Golden Eagles! Very nice! Thanks for the pics!

Here's a picture with the old and the new Jeep. When I first saw Bugzy's post of the goldden ealge I though wow that's nice, then I though that looks so familer. Then I remembered the nice little surpise that CTWLSMIKE sent me in a trade I did with him. Thanks again. :thumbsup: I get to go dig it out from being packed away. Still trying to get settled in from moving.

Hey Bugzy, do you know when that red Golden Eagle came out? I know the casting date says 1981, is that when the red one came out?

https://home.comcast.net/~gmarsteller05/DSCF0357.JPG

I think the #5 Jeep came out around 1979 with the old US Postal Jeep....and then all others after 1979 carried this casting style.... the red Golden Eagle is a Made in Macau 1981....and the gold one a Lesney made in England..1981.. this casting style (Golden Eagle) I would say came out in 1981..not absolutely sure..have several versions of this one...

...the Jeep pictured with the Red GEagle....what brand is it..is it a custom..? love those wheels.. :thumbsup:

.....here are the 2 that started it all...available only in yellow Jeep CJ5#72 the first is from 1967 and then they went to the Superfast wheels around 1969-70 to try and keep up with the Hotwheels brand....

Wow! I really like those yellow jeeps! I like the first set of wheels the best. I need to get some of those!

The black jeep is a new Superfast 1998 Jeep Wrangler I got the wheels and axles from one of those little rock crawlers that they use to sell in Wal-mart. I can't think of the name of them righ now.

WOW! How long have you been collecting?

Several years ago I called Jennifer at Fred Bloods store (1 stop Diecast) I drove over from San Diego and picked up 250 6 car Johnny Lightning Interlocking Displays...they are great !

As far as collecting I was nine and started in 1967, living in England (Air Force Brat) I started with Corgi and Matchbox...not a consistant collector mind you...just bought some...layed off...somemore...layed off...that kinda thing.
Steve

thanks for the pics and info, I didn't know the J/L displays were interlocking. I see them all the time at TRU, I'll have to start picking them up.

Thats the same ones...you can shape them in lots of different ways..or just go floor to cieling, Thank you for the nice compliments.
Steve

Oh, I see some MB Caddy ambulances in those pictures..drooooool. Awesome collection

Nice vehicles everybody!! :thumbsup:

Steve C., your collection is OUTSTANDING!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

An 'ere's the last one.

Beautiful cars Tone. I have to dig out some others now......
