JOHNNY LIGHTHING BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER- SPIKE GILES CITROEN
Not only can you get the different actors on the collector cards but you can also get them wearing different clothing and with different quotes. The better quotes with Sarah on them are also more expensive than the ones about pep and so forth. When these do come online as loose cars they sell for a fraction of the blister pack prices. Without the pack though, you wouldn't even know they were from Buffy. So tracking down the right actor card and quote is important as you're not likely to be removing your Citroen from the blister pack. --James Simpson Shop here

SCHUCO 1/43 MAN HAMBURGER SPEDITION
MAN traces its origins back to 1758, when the St. Antony ironworks commenced operation in Oberhausen, Germany, the first heavy-industry in the Ruhr region. In 1908 after a number of acquisitions, the company was renamed Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nurnberg AG, or MAN. The corporate predecessors of MAN were responsible for numerous technological innovations, including cooperation in the development of the diesel engine. By 1924, the company showed its first diesel truck at the Berlin Motor Show. After WWII, MAN shifted focus to commercial vehicles and became famous for its line of trucks, from delivery vans to heavy-hauling over-the-road rigs. Shop here

CORGI 1/50 - ALBION ARTIC WITH FLAT TRAILER AND BRICKS-LONDON BRICK COMPANY
London Brick Company is famous as the world’s largest brick manufacturer. In the 60’s era LBC ran a fleet of more than 900 vehicles in the famous red livery and familiar circular logos. The company absorbed a number of other brick manufacturers including Eastwoods, Redland and Marston Valley. LBC is now owned by Hanson group.
We haven't featured an old Albion for a while, and in London Brick livery this one is absolutely gorgeous. Another of Corgi's Limited Editions, the detailing is simply superb - particularly the macho frontal, excellent lighting clusters, authentic wipers and the fine hydraulic coupling lines to the trailer, which can be detached. The sheated brick load ie well done, as is the paint work. It's just lovely. Shop here
CORGI 1/50 GUY WARRIOR - POST OFFICE SUPPLIES DEPARTMENT
Looking resplendent in traditional Post Office red, this 1965 Guy Warrior is a replica of a 12-strong fleet of Warriors, rated at 12 tonnes. Incidentally, they were first ordered in 1964 and allocated with B registration suffix markings. However, they didn't enter into service until the following year, hence the later C registration plates. We've seen this rugged Warrior model in other guises before and this one is equally as impressive, particularly the frontal detailing and the Post Office crest. This model is one of Corgi's Premium' ranges of which only 2000 are being made. Shop here
