I am torn between the car ferry, and that beautiful Airfix Saab Viggen jet. But I think it has to be the Viggen. The Comments section has changed again, so I hope this reply will appear, and with my name.
I was always taken with the Saab Viggen and Drakken kits, think I had the Drakken for a while. Wonderful kit, from a classic era of Kits. Box art is frameable in itself! I used to have a much simpler car ferry like this, just three parts, in a pale blue and yellow plastic with one piece casting cars. This is a cracker, didn't Bullycan make something like this? The dragsters are fantastic, even better for having the full set, boxed! Have to say, I'd be in the Charger myself! Vin Geezer!
These toys are some takeaways from the recent Tampere toy fair a couple of weeks back.
The car trio is Made in Hong Kong for Cragstan, which is also embossed on their baseplates.
The Vehicles Ferry is new old stock, though the red plastic parts have discoloured the white deck. There's still much to like, the little passenger cars and the colourful box graphics.
The first issue Airfix Saab Viggen kit is unstarted and complete.
Very satisfied both with the event and the outcome. The new venue was modern and spacious, the event well organized. Selling was good, but the best part was meeting collector friends both as sellers and attendees, some after a two-year pandemic break.

Next toy fair tomorrow!
Do the Super Stocks have a rip-cord similar to the Stock-car Smash-ups?
ReplyDeleteNo Mark, there's no rip cord included. It says Gyro Powered on the box. How is that different from friction drive, haven't tried.
ReplyDeleteYou have just the best toy markets and fairs in Finland Arto!
ReplyDeleteThis time as a seller too!
ReplyDeleteHow did you do Arto?
