I wasnt planning to buy any toys before our Feb 22nd toyfair and yet I have added all these this year from local sellers for peanuts (except French Dinky boxed Alfa US$18)

Has anybody else here found folks dumping nice toys for giveaway prices????

Yes. Its a Siku Lamborghini Espada,and its mint :)

The Alfa has chromed diecast hubs which the French factory made for a few years - this car has been carefully played with (only a few chips & rubs) and garaged in its original box - very charming car thats been played with the way I treated mine after the age of 9.....
