View Full Version : Building up my Police Department
The General 09-22-2009, 03:40 AM G'day all. I'm a Newbie here and a bad photographer to boot! Hopefully I will improve with time and experience. ;)
Here's my delivery boys in action delivering fresh police cars to my MBX CITY yesterday.

A little present from the Matchbox County Sheriffs' Department. :)

The General 09-23-2009, 01:10 AM Nice pics and nice trucks... Better lighting will improve your pics :-)Cheers king-joe. I'm on it. :)
The General 09-24-2009, 03:36 AM Every so often some no good HOT WHEELS car
tries to drive on in to MATCHBOX CITY.
Thankfully my police don't waste any time rounding them up! ;)

The General 09-24-2009, 03:49 AM Of course if things get a bit too much for those already out on the highways,
there are always plenty of patrol cars in reserve ready to help out if the
"you know what" hits the fan! ;)

MBXJimbob 10-02-2009, 12:18 PM nice set of Crown Vics! Didn't see that variation of blues in this neck o the woods
PFACguy 10-02-2009, 02:59 PM Police cars just look so awesome. Unfortunately that makes them extremely popular and can sometimes be very tough to find.
The General 10-02-2009, 05:45 PM nice set of Crown Vics! Didn't see that variation of blues in this neck o the woodsThey came from the 2008? Police 5 pack.
Errrr yes that means I bought seven 5 packs! :eek:

HA HA, that's okay, I'm working on a fleet of Crown Vic Taxis, I've got 9 so far & aim for 20....I have 11 Police CV's too: thumbsup:
Eurosport94 10-03-2009, 02:34 PM Very nice General!! Ever since I've been trying to up my taxi/police collection, they've all been dust in the wind! I haven't found anything haha

Very nice General!! Ever since I've been trying to up my taxi/police collection, they've all been dust in the wind! I haven't found anything haha
I found my 1st taxi at a local Toys R Us. There was a bloke about my age checking out the pegs next to me when I found it it.
"Oh" he said, "You've got a nice one there".
"Sorry" I said, "Were you after one of these? Do you want this one?"
"No, no" he said, "You found it, I'll grab one next time".
Turns out, he was a fellow collector who worked nearby and uses his lunch breaks to search for vehicles. He seemed like a nice enough bloke. Hope he picked up something elsewhere. :)
Meanwhile my Crown Vic taxis now number 7. :thumbsup:
king-joe 10-05-2009, 10:54 PM Great photos General. Wish they had used the new crown vic for the blue one in the 5-pack. It would've looked even great. Still a nice collection. I too wish to have a police fleet, but due to financial constraint I just buy one from each livery. I never saw in person the 5-pack with blue crown vic in disc-wheels. Great fleet you have :-)
The General 10-06-2009, 04:59 AM I never saw in person the 5-pack with blue crown vic in disc-wheels.king-joe it was only recently that I noticed that one of the blue cop cars from the 5 pack had different wheels than the others. I wasn't aware of it when I bought it.Great photos General...... Great fleet you have :-)Thanks mate. I've taken some more pics from my Police fleet tonight. Will post them soon. :)

The General 10-07-2009, 02:15 AM It's always nice for the cops to have these guys in reserve.............

dragonhead00 10-07-2009, 04:59 AM I'm sure glad to find out that I'm not the only one that likes to buy multiples of the city vehicles, especially the police and fire. Nice pics. Thanks for sharing them.
MBXJimbob 10-07-2009, 11:13 AM some cool looking Swat vehicles! I'm kicking myself for passing that pack up, seen them a few times hanging on pegs at my nearby Zellers.....dang!
king-joe 10-07-2009, 09:58 PM The Ford Transit Swat van came as a single pack in 2008. I liked this design very much.
The General 10-09-2009, 12:26 AM I'm sure glad to find out that I'm not the only one that likes to buy multiples of the city vehicles, especially the police and fire. Nice pics. Thanks for sharing them.No probs. There's more coming! ;)

The General 10-12-2009, 03:08 AM There's an area of my Matchbox City known as Hummelstown which has it's own 10 car Police Department.

Great fleet of chargers.
jerzymike 10-13-2009, 11:35 PM where can you find those great paddy wagons? I couldn't find them
The General 10-14-2009, 04:01 AM where can you find those great paddy wagons? I couldn't find themMate, they used to have them in Woolworths supermarkets here in Oz.
They come in a window box with a small figure, animal or road sign.
Here's a link to some pics: http://members.optusnet.com.au/macacopa/YATMING/Track%20Stars%20Collectables/Create%20A%20World/yatmingtrackstarscollectablescreateaworld.htm

Just for you Mike. Here's a pic of one of the leftover Create-a-World packs I have.
My five nephews' are mad for Army vehicles.
I purchased about 100 of these buggers from Woolworths over the last few years.
They don't stock them anymore though. :(
