Even if they're not mint, who cares - the old one are the coolest!!!!

I completely agree! These are the ones with the most character of all my collection! :thumbsup:

Such great pix - you guys are right. The mint ones are always nice to look at, but these real world ones bring back such powerful memories of the hours of fun spent playing in my dad's dirt pile out back. These are the ones with incalculable personal value.

I've got to dig up my box of original MBs!

I love to see these play-worn vintages. Thanks.

Wonderful classic toys, its great to see that they have survived and are enjoyed:thumbsup:
I had all of these myself as a child except for the GMC tipper which I have never liked...........

Even in their present condition their colours are still very vibrant. :thumbsup:

S... but these real world ones bring back such powerful memories of the hours of fun spent playing in my dad's dirt pile out back. These are the ones with incalculable personal value.

My Dad use to order a truck load of sand every summer for me to play in with my cars. :)

Some good stuff shown here. As a kid, I usually played with my Lesneys indoors - they rarely came outside (that's what the Tonkas were for!!;)) But believe me, they were played with OFTEN!!
Someday I'll have to snap individual pics of them. They're displayed in a mirror-backed case so a group shot is tricky.

Very cool, I think I might have one of the cars pictured above.
