Nice haul . You will need a bigger display case soon . I once tried to collect TV & Movie cars .Its a rabbit hole , it seems that you can find a car for many shows, even when there is nothing iconic or different . The three wheeler reminds me of the car in Mr Bean . There are lens brushes , which has an air bulb . Thanks for the show.
Nice haul Jules, the giftset 19 hasn’t got too many variations other than the canopy on the Land Rover being smooth painted tin instead of plastic. The bars on the elephant cage can also be plastic or metal. These days Ebay tends to be the best place finding mint Dinky and Corgi as prices are at an all time low at the moment.
The prices are quite interesting. I've been discussing this with a friend and we generally think it's because the collectors have started to die off and less new collectors coming into the hobby. People under 50 have zero nostalgia with these, so less demand, lower prices🙂
Who says you can’t learn from watching UA-cam? I never heard the word “plinth” before so thanks for sharing that. Did you notice on the elongated plinth panel it actually says the name of the vehicle and the theme? I thought that was very cool for display purposes. Keep the Corgi/Matchbox hauls and videos coming!

You're right, space is becoming a real issue. I'll try my best not to go down too many rabbit holes🙂

Just getting into some vintage HO scale trains - these are fantastic
Aren't they just 🙂
Great bubble car haul. I am envious. In the US, we do not see nearly as many Corgi as you do in the UK. Collecting Matchbox just isn't the same.
I've heard Corgi's are harder to find in the USA but Matchbox cars seem to turn up in much better condition than over here🙂

Thanks Glen, it's not very often I get a few at the same time, sadly 🙂 Yes, I think the word plinth is the official name.
Nice video Jules
Thanks 🙂
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus...
It's true🙂
Hard to imagine that it was a reality back in the day !?
