#627 Danone – Four Coches Fuera De Serie (Die-Cast Promotional Vehicles) (1996)

This is a extremely rare set. I got it inwards 1996 yesteryear collecting yogurt lids, cannot just think how many, simply it was non easy. The vehicles were depicted inwards Yogurt 8-packs in addition to they looked actually great. I had to larn them at whatsoever cost.

So, when I received the parcel I was completely disappointed. The box came inwards this white cardboard box, in addition to inside, at that topographic point was roughly other cardboard box amongst windows in addition to the 4 models inside. The lineament of the models is low, or rather low... real badly finished, no interiors, oil edges... in addition to fifty-fifty fragile. The motorcycle model breaks easily. At the dorsum of the box, yous tin read that this is a collectable, simply non a toy.

The box is also real fragile: the cardboard is real sparse in addition to windows pause easily, because they are also actually thin. That´s why I gauge at that topographic point are non many sets similar mine out there. I ever kept it inwards the protective white cardboard box, in addition to took it out of it perhaps ii times inwards twenty years: the solar daytime I received it in addition to the solar daytime I took these pictures.

All inwards all, extremely rare collectibles, for certain appeals many die-cast collectors. The 4 cars are reproductions of Danone´s delivery cars, trucks or motorbikes from unlike years/decades.

#634 Maisto – Trabant 601 “Trabi” (Around 1996)

This is a rare die-cast model of a really iconic High German motorcar made inwards the DDR. The shape was kickoff made yesteryear MC Toy in addition to subsequently reused yesteryear Maisto. Unfortunately, I solely accept the Maisto version, If I detect the MC Toy version I volition telephone commutation them.

 

Since MC Toy/Maisto is a companionship from Hong-Kong it is a foreign pick for a cast. Maybe they manufactured the motorcar equally a asking from a High German retailer, to locomote sold equally a souvenir inwards Deutschland (it is available most everywhere there, from tourist shops to airports).

 

 

Although the existent motorcar was made from 1964 to 1990, this scale reproduction is relatively recent. There are older toys of the Trabant dating from the communist era of the DDR. These are quite sought-after demo yesteryear High German toy collectors. Maisto model is really common, in addition to hence worthless equally a collectable. The involvement lies inwards the motorcar model, which is an iconic motorcar of the 60s, comparable to the Austin Mini/ Mini Morris inwards England, the Fiat 500 inwards Italy, the VW Beetle inwards Deutschland (FDR), the Seat 600 inwards Espana or the Citroen 2CV inwards France.
