Another find in the Cyprus toy store was this pair of Matchbox copies, presumably made specifically for the Jumbo store. There were four in all, including a small Shuttle and a NASA patrol jeep. Ive not been able to find the official version of the moon rover here, but I do have a rocket transporter version if the crawler.
Both are nicely detailed and well made, more biased towards plastic parts than is usual for Matchbox, with plastic bases rather than die cast.
The rover is quite light and has a nice open cab, which could potentially offer room gor customisation.
The crawler has an elevating radar scanner and english decals.
Very very cool haul of holiday toys Bill! Lovely shots!
