i wonder if they will ever release the 270 model with the tyre shredders? Or maybe those would be such a choking hazard for children they won't risk it?

Sorry, but you have not a circuit ......🤔

Great review, I love the passion, and witty too!!

Corgi have messed about with different versions of the DB5 and decided to change the original silver 261 with a gold one which still sold well but it was actually based on the 1958 DB4 and had a different rear light cluster to the one in the film, Goldfinger. They also omitted the tyre shredders and rotating number plates but as it still sold millions, Corgi wouldn't be that bothered. Finally Corgi got their act together and produced a 261 in original silver with all the features including tyre shredders, rotating number plates and the correct DB5 rear light cluster in a 50th anniversary edition. Halleluiah. It was a limited edition and to my mind would be a more valuable collectors piece for the future if kept in pristine condition as it is the only true replica to the one in Goldfinger. I picked mine up for £25.00 from the Corgi Model club but you still see original 1964 battered versions going for twice that amount and more, on E-Bay. Corgi Model club have now re produced the original 267 version of the Batmobile due out in October 2024 for £40.00. Get your pre order in as I'm sure this will also be a limited production.

Great review. Gotta get one.

Best regards from mexico

Thx Lorenz

The thing with Dinkey, noticeably with the Eagle,Angels & Interceptor is there market research ( which probably amounted to a pub lunch) led them to believe kids would find mainly white toys boring.

Wonderful Video!

I've got the one from the sixties. I'm 70 now and I've kept all my toy cars. Also the Man from UNCLE and the Bat Mobile.

Hi - what Nm did you get on your new strut please

THANK YOU! I was trying to find a way to flip my falcon without the panels opening and open the interior

I tried this mod today, and it was incredible, thank you so much!

That is a way cool feature. Scalextrix makes some sweet slot cars!

wonderful video, thank you.

very enjoyable video, thank you.

It's not my favourite Gerry Anderson vehicle design but I might have to get one. I've got the Angel Interceptor, which I absolutely love. I wonder if they're going to reissue Joe ,90

I tried this as well and it didn't work exactly the same. The top part of the middle hinged section doesn't lie down all the way and I didn't like that

Keep those slotcar videos coming!!

'Ome M'Lady? Home Parker". Yeah, Hornby out did themselves on this one! its a Work of Art! They even made the Lights so they "Fade In and Fade Out" like 1960's Lights! Now that is real Attention to Detail! Yeah, I would not be brave enough to send it Round the Track, it would be an NRFB for sure with me...

Do you know the model number of the gas strut , ive got the same motorhome

I’m shocked it’s not just a upgraded Dinky! I thought that’s all the Corgi Gerry Anderson stuff is. Is it better to scale it was representing? Or was it cost cutting? And is the base or bottom half die cast too, or plastic like the later matchbox ones? And I agree with the TB2 I honestly don’t understand why they haven’t got rid of the obvious buttons (even paint them differently so they blend in.) But why not use a fake panel as a button, doesn’t ruin the looks and is discreet. But I have always hated it had plastic thrusters and legs (the dinky one had better detailing for the inside of the thrusters.) I would rather all metal, and more detail on it, more pods, vehicles, attachments, stands, fake thruster flames, for all the TB! Hope they make a TB5. Also the new Stingray could have been a bit better more gadgets, and just a bit bigger. Glad they made diecast version of it thiugh. And have you seen the new DB5 I was excited looks good, but then it’s only half way there. Doesn’t have the all the gadgets if the original. Why? I would happily pay more for such. I would love to see a new mould with extra details and all the gadgets and maybe more of the DB5 too. They know we want it so why aren’t they doing it? It’s blowing my mind. Sorry for the long post it’s just so annoying sometimes. Thanks for the video im close to preordering one and maybe a few more items.

🇨🇦have this!on my sci fi display.

Great video thank you

Oh wow, this is so nice and helpful

It was gold to celebrate Goldfinger film and a silver version followed with the red plastic shredders, hope this informs your viewers

I have a 261 - 1965 Playcraft DB5 made in UK, but is the new car from the CMC also made in UK or a Chinese import ?

Hi Lorenz! I fitted a 2200W inverter in my MB Sprinter. Similar configuration as you have with a leisure battery. I used an original MB start battery, AGM type,220Ah, 1150A. Will this battery do the job? What kind of battery do you use? I didn't change the alternator yet, its still the original one of a normal Sprinter van, not like in a camper van?! Regards, Edwin

I've got my fifty-odd-year-old very battered and treasured Dinky SPV on the bookshelf behind me and I think it's going to have a sister.

MAL FILMADO ! 😢

Both cars missed the “tire rippers”?

The plastic clips to the track, as the car passes it activates the level triggering the ejector seat.

Oh what a beauty! My local model shop had one in, I was tempted but it's a lot of money to pay for something that would just be displayed in my cabinet and not run! I watched Thunderbirds growing up but not obsessive about collecting memorabilia... I'd be too concerned about damaging it during a crash, to run it on the track.😊

This was very useful thanks, when I initially looked at the clips it all looked baffling but thanks to your video I have the strut off and bolts out am almost ready to refit but what is the blue tube of goo?

I would love to see scalextric/hornby make the Captain Scarlet SPV & SPC the fab 1 is a beaut

Lovely paddle , did you launch from the caravan site there ? Just curious as trying to plan a trip and apparently there’s a barrier on kettlewell carpark now which was my original plan . 😊

I still got mine in prestige condition. Have to replace batteries though. I also got box set from 1992.

This was a massive lost opportunity for Corgi. I had originally wanted one when they first announced it, but seeing the gross shape and detail errors, I no longer want one. The hull is the wrong shape, the iconic missile-tubes are massively wrong in shape (should not be squared-off at the back like that!), it's just so so so very disappointing compared to what could have been.

How about a Terror Fish to complement Stingray, that would be cool.

Beautiful!

Ooooooh! As if my collection is not already big enough! 🤩

Thank's, did Corgi make the Supercar and do they ship to USA ?

Thanks for this. I’ve got one on pre-order. You have allayed my fears 😀

That's done it for me, got to order one now, after being the owner of the Dinky model as a kid, and which my old ma gave away when I was a teen, bless her. Hope they bring out the whole Captain Scarlet range after seeing this. Thank you.

I think you were unlucky with the dust bits in the paint, mine came in perfect condition.

Biggest Scalextric models ever I think have to have been the Leyland Roadtrains from back in the 80's, both were full artics with the trailer too. They were... Interesting to race with. Can I give you a tip, run it occasionally, but don't go fast or risk coming off. It's a nice model and should be run but not for racing by any means.

How much is it pls

Love the switch from Techno Pop to Cheesy Lounge music.

Both very cool the dinky one is impressive for it's time 👍
