<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">The Beatles are one of the most successful and influential bands of all time. Their music continues to inspire artists throughout the world and their popularity remains undiminished. Corgi's association with The Beatles began in 1969 and continues today. Celebrate The Beatles legacy with this meticulously detailed model associated with the Fab Four that will appeal to Beatles fans and die-cast collectors alike. The Beatles released the</span><a href="https://amzn.to/38N8Tp1" style="color: #333333;"> “Magical Mystery Tour”</a><span style="color: #333333;"> album in 1967 to accompany the film of the same name which was first shown in the UK on Boxing Day. The record proved a huge success, it had multiple weeks at number one in the charts in multiple countries and was nominated for “Album of the Year” at the 1968 Grammy Awards. The re-release of this replica of the Bedford VAL used in the film is meticulously detailed and will appeal to both die-cast and Beatles collectors alike. </span><i><a href="https://amzn.to/38N8Tp1"><span style="color: red;">See more</span></a></i></span></span>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-33419848522331796712020-02-21T21:14:00.004+07:002020-02-21T21:20:24.707+07:00YELLOW SUBMARINE<div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the wonderful musical adventure that is “</span><a href="https://amzn.to/38MNqMV" style="color: #333333;">Chitty Chitty bang bang.</a><span style="color: #333333;">” the movie is loosely based on the 1964 novel by Ian Fleming with the screen adaptation written by iconic children’s author Roald Dahl and directed by Ken Hughes.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">There's been plenty of versions of K.I.T.T. released by various toy manufacturers over the years in 1/64 scale but this is the first time to my knowledge K.A.A.R has hit the pegs. It's a pretty good likeness to its reborn self in the 1984 episode after it was brought back to the series by fan demand and mysteriously didn't meet its end when it drove off a cliff two years earlier and forced a young couple who found him to give him a car version of cosmetic surgery. Sure it still has the red laser thing in the dash from the first season, and admittedly I also would have preferred the amber coloured scanner, but who's to say when in the episode of its comeback the car is from. I don't remember that episode in great detail anymore but maybe the paintjob changed before the new amber scanner was installed. If it really bothers you, you can always go down the local toyshop and buy the correct colour model paint jar and fix it. Still I think it's great to see a car to display alongside or driving headfirst into each other with K.I.T.T. </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AQL6D7C/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk" style="background-color: white; color: #004b91;">K.I.T.T.</a><span style="background-color: white;"> was released in 2012 the year before <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wheels-Knight-Rider-K-A-R-R-X8929/dp/B00BF65DE6/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">K.A.R.R in the Hot Wheels</a> Retro Entertainment Collection with the same blister card if you wanted a version with the same packaging as this one to display together.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">The Retro series packaging is slightly bigger than your mass produced Hot Wheels range but the cars all the same size (1/64 scale). It is better in that it can be displayed sitting flat on shelf and doesn't tilt forward at a severe angle like your mass produced ones do if you aren't leaning them against a wall or something. Disappointingly unlike a lot of other die-cast car manufacturer's premium priced vehicles (these are about 5 times the price of your budget Hot Wheels line on the pegs in physical stores) you cannot see the car through the back of the pack and the cardboard is not covered in plastic meaning it is more susceptible to getting bent or if it gets wet is not protected. For the price of these I would have really have liked to see the better blister pack technology used.--<i> James N Sympson <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wheels-Knight-Rider-K-A-R-R-X8929/dp/B00BF65DE6/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">Shop here</a></i></span></span>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-57710475080780578772013-11-20T19:34:00.000+07:002013-11-20T19:34:10.061+07:00HOT WHEEL 1/64 KNIGHT RIDER K.I.T.T. 2013 RETRO <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hot Wheels has done a good job on this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Knight-Rider-K-I-T-T-Hot-Wheels/dp/B00AQL6D7C/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">Knight Rider KITT car </a>from the Retro Entertainment series. A big improvement over the first KITT car they released a few months back. Same mold, but this new one from Hot Wheels has rubber tires with threads, better looking rims (though still not show accurate, but for the scale it still looks better than the rims on the first KITT they did), interior dashboard is painted black (but still with the same dashboard decal as on their other KITT) and it has a metal chassis. KNIGHT license plate at the back, just like on their previous KITT. Very solid and its very nicely made. The metal chassis underneath the diecast metal body only makes the car a bit more heavier than your regular Hot Wheels car. Gives it some heft if you will. Those who already have the SDCC 2012 exclusive KITT car would know what I mean as its basically the same car but without the elaborate talking base and of course without the high price tag. This is without a doubt, perhaps the best 1/64 KITT car you can buy right now and Hot Wheels doesn't disappoint. Looking forward to getting KARR from this new line from Hot Wheels!--<i>M.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">A few years ago Hot Wheels released Baracus' (played by actor Mr T) van as part of their mass produced budget range. It was good if you could get one off the rack for a dollar or two but didn't have the right paint job (ie it was black both beneath and above the red line) had cheap wheels and thing like this but for a few bucks, you really couldn't be too picky. However as we collector know who are collecting stuff that was around before we decided to join this great hobby, resell online prices in the years ahead, especially when you include postage, mean you aren't just paying a few bucks. Therefore the </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Wheels-A-Team-Custom-Vehicle/dp/B00BF66IAO/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">2011 HW Premiere A Team Van</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> really wasn't worth it if you couldn't didn't get one in stores.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">This time round as part of the Retro range I think both those finding them in stores and paying the off the rack price (which is about 5 times the price of the basic Hot Wheels vehicles), or even those who have to pay the higher online prices in the future will look at this one and say, yeah that was worth it. This retro version does have the better paintjob (grey top half above the red stripe, even the stripe looks better, especially on the roof). It has rubber tyres, the back ones with white writing, and better red hubcaps are used as well, the general detailing in the paint job such as the headlights, break lights is far superior and it also has a black plastic used for windshield, windows etc rather than the blue with the mass produced one.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">The retro range vehicle though isn't found in as many stores or even a lot of countries that the mass produced Hot Wheels one was back in 2011, and certainly not in the same quantities. Meaning the price gap will likely widen over the years between the two. Unless the retro ones you can find have skyrocketed to ridiculous prices if you're a new collector I'd definitely pay a little bit more to get this much better van. Maybe get a mass produced one to open and play with and keep the retro in the packaging for display. Packaging wise the Retro one is slightly better, it's still in a blister bubble on piece of cardboard that you have to destroy if you want to play with it, but it is a slightly larger card and the packaging sits upright on a flat surface, whereas your mass produced Hot Wheels range leans towards you on a severe angle on a flat surface so you've got to lean it against a wall or something. The retro range version arguably doesn't have as good an image on the card, as it is simply the A Team word logo in front of a resembling explosion looking yellow backdrop with the Hot Wheels banner above. Disappointingly unlike a lot of other die-cast car manufacturer's premium priced vehicles you cannot see the car through the back of the pack and the cardboard is not covered in plastic meaning it is more susceptible to getting bent or if it gets wet is not protected. For the price of these I would have really have liked to see the better blister pack technology used.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Other companies such as ERTL have released this van over the years also in 1/64 size (which is your standard mass produced size) over the years but I'd have to say this Retro version is the one to collect. You will also find the A-Team white corvette in the same Retro range from Hot Wheels.<i>--James N Symson <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Wheels-A-Team-Custom-Vehicle/dp/B00BF66IAO/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">Shop here</a></i></span>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-38048827019888413692013-11-20T16:35:00.000+07:002013-11-20T16:35:10.407+07:00COMPLETE SET CORGI JAMES BOND ASTON MARTIN DB5 <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After the 1960s Batman TV series was cancelled, and the 'Batmania' craze had died out, the Batman in the comics turned into a much darker character. This involved his using Batmobiles that were much less visible and more like lightly-modified production cars. This model, which was seen in Batman 251 (September 1973), appeared to be a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Corgi-US77315-1970s-Batmobile/dp/B000BLDQP4/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">modified Corvette</a>, but with an angular roof line and a bat*-head outline on the bonnet.<br />

Unfortunately, this was not one of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Corgi-US77315-1970s-Batmobile/dp/B000BLDQP4/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">Corgi's better replicas</a>. The front end was quite bulbous, and it tapered heavily towards the stubby, narrow rear end. It was as if the front and back halves of the car were designed by two different people. However, the action feature was good fun. It had opening front doors, which doesn't sound very novel in itself; but these popped open on their own when the front wheels were depressed.--Diecast Collector Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-4166184586562760412012-12-19T17:02:00.001+07:002012-12-19T17:02:22.205+07:001960s BATMOBILE II<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In 1964 Batman comics were selling poorly, so DC comics gave the franchise a new look, with a new, dynamic artist and more detective-based stories. The bulky 1950s Batmobile was replaced with a light, sporty roadster that was fast and maneuverable. Corgi produced the first ever model of this particular car, and it was a very accurate rendition. It had twin rear fins and a bat motif on the grille rather than a heavy battering ram. The dashboard was well detailed and there was a Batman figure at the wheel. The working feature involved an instrument panel in front of the windscreen that popped up when the front axle was pushed down.--Diecast CollectorTudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-22664652440705744372012-11-29T15:51:00.000+07:002012-11-29T15:51:16.740+07:001950s BATMOBILE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An omission from Corgi's first wave of models was the long-lived <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Corgi-1950s-DC-Comics-BATMOBILE/dp/B002C5N34Q/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">1950s Batmobile</a>, which first appeared in Detective Comics 156 (Feb 1950), in a story appropriately titled '<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Corgi-1950s-DC-Comics-BATMOBILE/dp/B002C5N34Q/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">The Batmobile of 1950</a>'. In this story, Batman is injured when he crashes the 1940s Batmobile. While recuperating, he and Robin design and build a brand new car with modern features including Radar, CCTV and a mobile crime lab. While the new car was of a futuristic design, with a bubble canopy and a large rear fin, it seems to be inspired by contemporary Studebakers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Corgi model is very faithful to the car in the comic with correct lines, accurate bat head on the grille and detailed interior. The working feature is rather strange, as the back of the cockpit, including the fin, is rear-hinged and lifts up to reveal the crime lab. I suppose this was just devised by Corgi in order to show off the detailed interior, because the real car had normal side doors for entry and exit-and the shut lines are visible on the model. The car is painted a metallic blue and has rather bulbous, yellow painted headlights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another version was released in the 'Silver Age II' set, accompanied by a 1950 Jokermobile. This one was painted black and looked much more effective.--<i>Diecast Collector</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second new Corgi vehicle was a big improvement over the previous model, although was a rather curious choice. This one was an open roadster with a long bonnet and six exhaust manifolds on each side. The reason it was such a strange car to use was because it only appeared once, in Detective Comics 37 (March 1940), and then only in one panel. It is a much better interpretation than the 1930s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/1940s-Batmobile-Roadster-with-Figure/dp/B000BLDU96/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">Batmobile</a>; while it didn't look like any particular marque of car, it had the correct proportions of a real roadster of this type. It was finished in gunmetal grey, with an opening bonnet and a good Batman figure at the wheel, with a flowing cape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This vehicle was not referred to as the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/1940s-Batmobile-Roadster-with-Figure/dp/B000BLDU96/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">Batmobile</a>; the first car to be called this appeared in Detactive Comics 48 (Feb 1941). It was a red convertible similar to a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/1940s-Batmobile-Roadster-with-Figure/dp/B000BLDU96/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">Lincoln Zephyr</a>, with a bat hood ornament, although Corgi did not model this car.<i>--Diecast Collector</i></span>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-12859790884170592672012-11-28T18:25:00.001+07:002012-11-28T18:25:40.663+07:001930s BATMOBILE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was something as a misnomer, as this was an anonymous red coupe that pre-dated the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Corgi-US77323-1930s-Batmobile/dp/B000BL8244/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">Batmobile</a>. It debuted during Batman's second appearance in Detective Comics 28 (June 1939), and was described as 'a specially built high-powered auto'. At this time, Batman was not really a superhero; he was more of a masked avenger along the lines of The Shadow or the Green Hornet. He carried a gun and often killed his enemies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Corgi model was well made, but was very poor representation of a 1930s coupe. As drawn in the comic, the car was an idealised car of the era, with a massive bonnet and big chrome grille. Rather than attempting to model something resembling a real car of the period, Corgi has just copied the cartoony picture and come out with a bad caricature of a 1930s car. The overly-large bonnet does not taper outwards towards the windscreen, and the cabin is small. The model features two opening doors, but these are so narrow that a big guy like Bats couldn't possibly get through them. There is also an opening boot, revealing a spare wheel under a bat-shaped clip.<i>--Diecast Collector <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Corgi-US77323-1930s-Batmobile/dp/B000BL8244/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325"> Shop here</a></i></span>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-56130723716404883992012-10-25T16:02:00.000+07:002012-10-25T16:02:14.793+07:00JOHNNY LIGHTNING HOLLYWOOD ON WHEELS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the film, the police all drive 1937 Ford Standard Fordor Sedans, and in some scenes several of them are shown. The model is correctly finished in two-tone colours with a white upper and black lower half. An accurate police star is printed on the front doors in gold, but the model lacks the lights and sirens of the cars in the film. Although this is the same basic model as Tracy's car, it is made to a smallerscale. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ertl-Collectibles-Dick-Tracey-Police/dp/B000UR7FHY/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325"><i>Shop here</i></a>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-41554486176638949112012-08-21T11:32:00.001+07:002012-08-21T11:32:45.300+07:004 DICKY'S CAR IN PACKAGING<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The four models were packaged on individual blister cards. These had a yellow background, with a movie logo in the top right hand side, and a stylised cityscape underneath. Rather strangely, the city scene showed a pair of 1950s era cars! <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dick-Tracy-Micro-Size-Vehicle/dp/B001HT79CK/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325"><i>Shop here</i></a>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-71886216958315350102012-08-09T14:02:00.000+07:002012-08-21T11:40:21.193+07:00ERTL: ITCHY'S CAR FROM DICK TRACY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Itchy is a villain who, as his name suggests, can't stop scratching himself. In the film he drives a big, red 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Sports Sedan. This car appears in two major scenes; when itchy and the psychotic Flattop burst through a garage door in order to bump off a group of rival criminals; and later when they kidnap Tracy and take him to Big Boy's hideout. The model is larger and heavier than the other three, and is closer in size to a Hot Wheels car. This is possibly the only model made of a Chevy Master Sedan.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were generally pretty nice models, although realism was slightly marred by the movie logo being tampo printed on the car boots (or on the dickey seats of the coupes). Surprising, the most eye-catching car in the film was not modelled...a bright pink Auburn 852 Speedster driven by Madonna's character. Breathless Mahoney. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ertl-Collectibles-Dick-Tracey-Itchys/dp/B0013JVXT4/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325"><i>Shop here</i></a></span>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-50221567475319425662012-08-09T13:45:00.006+07:002012-08-21T11:40:38.652+07:00ERTL: TRACY'S CAR FROM DICK TRACY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Painted black, it has a black interior, chromed grille and headlights, and the bonnet vents touched in with silver paint-as do the other three models. These two-door coupes were very popular choices for young, single men in the 1930s.<i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ertl-Collectibles-Dick-Tracey-Traceys/dp/B000MQLTCK/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325">Shop here</a></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dick Tracy is a 1990 American pulp action film based on the 1930s comic strip character of the same name created by Chester Gould. Warren Beatty produced, directed, and starred in the film, which features supporting roles from Al Pacino, Charles Durning, Madonna, William Forsythe, Glenne Headly, Paul Sorvino, Dick Van Dyke, and Charlie Korsmo. Dick Tracy depicts the detective's love relationships with Breathless Mahoney and Tess Truehart, as well as his conflicts with crime boss Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice. Tracy also begins his upbringing of "The Kid".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Development of the film started in the early 1980s with Tom Mankiewicz assigned to write the script. The project also went through directors Steven Spielberg, John Landis, Walter Hill, and Richard Benjamin before the arrival of Beatty. Filming was mostly at Universal Studios. Danny Elfman was hired to compose the film score, and the music was featured on three separate soundtrack albums.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dick Tracy was released in 1990 to mixed to positive reviews, but was generally a success at the box office and at awards time. It picked up seven Academy Award nominations and won in three of the categories: Best Original Song, Best Makeup and Best Art Direction. A sequel was planned, but a controversy over the film rights ensued between Beatty and Tribune Media Services, and the lawsuit continues, so a second film has not been produced.</span>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-32027773000251438752012-06-02T16:40:00.000+07:002012-06-02T16:41:06.280+07:00Hot Wheels Elite 1/43 Ghostbusters Ecto-1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Ecto-1 is the legendary vehicle that the Ghostbusters used to travel
throughout the city busting ghosts. The vehicle used for the Ecto-1 was
a 1959 Cadillac professional ambulance, built by the Miller-Meteor
company and converted by Universal Studios. GhostBusters is the famous
1984 American comedy film about three eccentric New York City
parapsychologists-turned-ghost exterminators. The roof is littered with spook-battling paraphenalia, and the attention to detail is impressive indeed. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wheels-Collector-Elite-Ghostbusters-Ecto-1/dp/B004MNYZVQ/?_encoding=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&tag=diecast-movie-20&linkCode=ur2&qid=1338629237&camp=1789&sr=1-1&creative=9325"><i>Shop here</i></a></div>Tudiecasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15292608390495039026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498851840725081305.post-1824082602489853372012-03-02T17:34:00.000+07:002012-03-02T17:34:13.443+07:00THE BEATLES CAN'T BUY ME LOVE LIMITED EDITION COLLECTABLE TAXI TIN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnI_-Jq6q_O_n52kq92vAR6zgEc_T4dKY-2YPFHsD5N5btcCdpgzQI8sYihgEM0E8o1GlrvySr1B1g2wwq6SIVYb7gRJ_2o0OV9NFYQdGS3shYxsu6w0Ll0pYNYygLCMI-4YI_wxUS1zs/s1600/The-Beatles-Can't-Buy-Me-Love-Limited-Edition-Collectable-Taxi-Tin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnI_-Jq6q_O_n52kq92vAR6zgEc_T4dKY-2YPFHsD5N5btcCdpgzQI8sYihgEM0E8o1GlrvySr1B1g2wwq6SIVYb7gRJ_2o0OV9NFYQdGS3shYxsu6w0Ll0pYNYygLCMI-4YI_wxUS1zs/s400/The-Beatles-Can't-Buy-Me-Love-Limited-Edition-Collectable-Taxi-Tin.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

The car hop figure on roller skates is the real value in this set, as she is what every guy would like to have delivering his Mel's drive-in burger and shake to his open window. She is more accurately detailed in 1:24 scale than the 1:25 scale model T-bird because the car's grille is not blacked out and the wide whitwall tires are too wide compared to actual car used in the movie. American Grafitti is a cult classic and the Revell '56 T-bird has a special reminiscent quality and place for every diecast car collector and their diorama display.--<i> Craige P.
