I know I'm a bit late to the party with this one but after several months of debating whether I could justify spending 7.49 on a Matchbox model which retailers for much less in the U.S. I finally decided to get the Globe Travelers Land-Rover Defender 110.
Im still very annoyed that semi premium MBX sets don't appear here at ASDA, if you are going to insist on being the exclusive retailer of this iconic brand then you really need to make the effort in stocking a big selection and not just basics. Ive said it a million times before but there is definitely a market for this type of model here but time and time again peg and shelf space is devoted to slow selling Cars, Fast & Furious and non Mainline Hot Wheels!
Modelmatic came to my rescue with this particular item and being one of my favourite Matchbox castings of all time PLUS the fact it has been bestowed with that all encompassing metallic Burnt Orange colour I really should have bought it sooner!
It isn't a full premium model hence it still has a plastic baseplate but its front gets much needed detailing and its body still keeps its pre-modified casting ie. the roof hasn't been chopped down slightly. Its wheels are of much better quality than standard issue with proper rubber tyres and of course the packaging itself is a joy to behold too.
Mint and boxed.
Asda, already in Cwmbran at Llewelyn Walk, wanted a larger premises. They attempted to purchase the Post Office and its yard, seen here to the right, for an even larger store. The Post Office refused to sell despite the cramped conditions of their sorting office, on the grounds that they wished "the main office co-located with the counter". Today the Post Office counter is in WH Smith and Rugby Heaven are in the old counter premises...
The multi-storey car park being demolished to make way for the store was only built in the 1970s.
Walthamstow E17. Walthamstow? Crikey! That's the end of the line, innit? Fantastic blue sky though...
