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:
Yes, and still do. Also full size Corgis, Hotwheels, Johnny Lightnings and Dinkys.

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.
There was a pile of these with the lot i got last week from Don. most were under the husky names and colors are different, but same castings. the camper and towtruck were missing there backends tho, too bad.

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.
I built a display case for the stuff i got from Don(bigdreams). thanks again don!
lots of Husky ones before they became corgi, and some early matchbox.
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.
