As a youngster Matchbox, Dinky and Corgi were my obsession. I would spend hours looking through their catalogues. Magical.

I've had more of these in my 50s than I ever had as a kid! The joy of Ebay and having hobby time to restore them. Long live Dinky 👏👏👏👏

Who else sat there saying "had that, had that, wanted that ..." nice to see, brought back lots of happy memories from simpler times.

Had the Spectrum Patrol Car. Bought it on vacation with my parents in Ithaca New York. My father was a teacher and had to attend a course at Ithaca college to further his degree. Got to stay at the dorm on campus in my own room and visit the town with my mom while he was in class. And visit places at night like 3 Boxcars put together where they showed silent movies and served snacks and drinks. Then visited Niagara Falls on the way back home. Great times.

I have the 1974 Dinky toys catalogue. I had the Pink Panther car, UFO toys and Jensen as a child in 1974. I was 9 years old. Brings back fond memories.

I have quite a lot of these still, as I was 8 in 1971, and my aunt bought me police set. Also the highway construction meccano, still in its box. It's played with, but still in good nick. Happy days.

OMG! I’ve got a Dinky and a Corgi catalogue from around 1977, it never occurred to me someone would post them on KZfaq like this, so glad you did though, without doubt one my of my all time fav toys. As a kid I would sometimes cut out the cars from mums big catalogue , from the toy section, and paste them into my own scrap book, a kinda wish list I guess. Thanks for posting.

My friend had the Pink Panther toy with the " rip- cord". I always wanted it, and have never seen one for sale since.Ridiculous money I bet!
@Ronno46914 жыл бұрын
My friend just bought one off eBay and the scale speed is phenomenal! Later versions of the ripcord Pink Panther mobile were drastically depowered as kids were running into traffic to save their toys being squashed as these things shot off at a scale speed of 200mph plus!

And played indoors, unless you had the passageway to run it along, it would just hit furniture at high speed! How much on eBay was it?

When the Binns Road factory in Liverpool closed down in the early 1980s, the administrators wanted the quickest possible sale of the assets. Consequently all the die cast metal component moulds for these toys were last seen at Liverpool docks being loaded as ship's ballast, to be dumped at sea to offset the intake of sea water. Apparently the plastic component moulds were sold to a plastics company who used them to make replacement parts for the collector market.

I was reminded that I had this catalogue as soon as the video began. I also owned a fair-few of the vehicles on display, but I always wanted 917 Mercedes Benz Truck and Trailer but it was never available in my local toy-shop where I used to spend several hours of my week with that look of wanton desire on my face and fingers at the ready to do a quick calculation of how long it would be until Christmas. I was far too young to consider the idea of pre-ordering products, a)because I couldn't guarantee that my budget would cover the cost, and b) because I wanted everything now. I used to think that the boy who lived in that toy-shop must have been the luckiest boy alive. If the woman behind the counter was the owner of the shop and she had a son of about my age, then he had to be the luckiest boy alive... As a grown-up now, I would happily purchase every single item in that catalogue if I were given the chance. Sadly, the original company no longer exists and I don't care much for buying collectors items. (and my budget wouldn't allow it neither).
