Default Anyone collect Minichamps 1/43's

Ive been quietly searching eBay, and getting some good deals. Any other spots I should look?

I don't collect them persay, but I have a handful. They don't make up the majority of my 1:43 collection.

Try Craigslist too. And even search for them new, some sites may have good prices?

Lol, I remember when a brand new Minichamps 1:43 used to be just $20! Now they're what, $50? Crikey.

Take care,

Be careful...

I bought this one a number of years ago, and what do you know, I end up buying the full size one later on. I didn't realize that I had bought the exact car until months later, but there it is, black 1977 930 with red interior.

Makes me think I should run out and get a Minichamps 962 model....

Truly is how it works...

The first 1/43 model I ever bought was a 968 CS in Slate Grey...

9 months later, after lots of searching and deciding I really wanted a white 968 with cashmere interior...there was a Slate Grey 1994 968 with M030 in my driveway!



Now, about converting the rest of my collection to full size...
