Did you have Corgi Juniors as a kid?
Permalink  

I had a ton of them. The early ones were good quality. After about 1974 they turned to crap with plastic baseplates and sometimes no interiors. The best years were when they transitioned from Huskey to Corgi Jr. Here's some photos of a cool introduction folder I found online:

I had the Citroen Safari. It was yellow with white boat. Most of what I had was Matchbox.

I've seen that Crime Busters set on eBay selling for huge money. I had many of these including the Man from U.N.C.L.E car which had a rocket launcher under the hood.
That early version of the Batmobile had a "flame" that would move in and out of the rocket engine.

 The full size Corgi sets are worth thousands. I'd love to have the Batman set with the early "tin-finned" Batboat.

My brother and I had a bunch of Corgi stuff, some smaller (I guess these were Juniors?) and some larger scale. I seem to recall a couple of Land Rovers, a station wagon police car or ambulance, a DB5, and a couple of Porsche 917s. Digging through a box of car stuff, I found a couple of catalogs from 1983.

 That's a very nice display case. Of the cars photographed I had the Studebaker Wagon with the plastic sliding opening panel in the rear, the tow truck and the Impala. The last two were Matchbox. I also had the NSU RO80. I don't know what ever happened to the roof.
