Love it another for the collection reminds me of happier days

Well done CMC, this is just the best model yet to opitimise Corgi's skill at producing an American saloon. My model arrived today and I am so pleased with the quality. The paint work is superb, the chrome, bright and shiny and to my relief no holes in the seats where previous models have had passengers. I cannot get over the shine on the paint finish, looks absolutley superb. This really is a glorious reproduction of one of my favourite American models produced by Corgi. The suspension is good alround also, unlike our previous "bubble car" model. I stillhave my original Impala saloon (pale blue) and the Yellow cab, showing their age now, but I think it would be good if we could also have a new blue and the pink variety. This is definitely a five star model and I am so pleased to add it to my collection. Could we also have the Plymouth Sports Suburban please and a further colour of the Oldsmobile without the holes in the seats. Well done CMC, I continue to look forward to each new model.

Always wanted this model. Have lttle difficulties with the battery

Dieses geniale kleine Teil war eines meiner liebsten Spielzeuge. Er hatte mich jeden Tag zum Kindergarten begleitet. Dort wurde er konfisziert, weil ich immer mit meinem kleinen Auto gespielt habe, und nicht mit den anderen Kindern. Dann bei der ersten Gelegenheit bin ich dann ausgerückt, nach Hause und habe gesagt das ich da nicht mehr hingehen will, wenn ich nicht wieder mein Auto bekomme. 😁😁
Habe es wieder bekommen, durfte es aber nicht mehr mit nehmen.🤬🤬🤬

Ich hatte das unglaubliche Glück, das ein Onkel (Australier) in London für die australische Presse gearbeitet hat. Von ihm hatte ich genau diese Modell geschenkt bekommen. Ich war total begeistert. Nicht wegen des Films, sondern wegen den tollen Extras die das Auto hatte. Damit war ich bei meinen Spielkameraden der absolute König. Jeder wollte so ein Teil haben. Leider weiß ich nicht, wenn er in Deutschland zu kaufen war. Corgi Toys war bei uns in Kaiserslautern sehr schwer zu bekommen. Mein kleiner Bruder hat ihn dann später kaputt gemacht. Aber, jetzt habe ich ihn wieder. Einfach Glücklich.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀😀😀

Great model and lovely packaging.

This is a beautiful model. The colour is my favourite and will be on display with my other stuff.

Awesome model, I like the emergency and law enforcement vehicles and this is one of the best. There are some variants out there re the stickers some just a white stick on paper with emblem printed on. The CMC have gone with a beautiful rendition of it which lifts the model into a superb level. One small niggle, but not a criticism, the trunk/boot flared wings seem flatter or less deep than what I remember the origional to be. It doesnt detract from what positive things I've said but maybe I'm making too close a comparison. The CMC version looks flattened like it was compressed in the box. I'm not saying that happened I'm trying to describe the look. It might be a purposeful improvement such as the batmobile where the origional had the pointy fins that easily broke off. However I mention it just to see if anyone else has noticed that. That said it is still a beautiful rendition of what was on offer in the 60s and once again delighted to have it.
My collection now moves on to the offerings of 2024, I know I'm 2 years behind 🙏

Great model

Great little model.

Lovely detail and paint finish is very good all round

Beautifull

The blue Heinkel is out of stock. Ok
but whats’s with the orange one.
Maybe I have not seen the orange one in the shop?
Is it also out of stock?
Is it possible to buy the orange bubble

My partner was thrilled to get this as he lost his original one as a child .

Dear Mr Hornby.
Since joining the model club last year, I've purchased around 20+ models. The model quality and customer service has been excellent so far. However, I'm thinking of cancelling my club membership.
Sorry, but there really doesn't seem much point to being a member of a club that offers no real incentives. Price reductions are minimal and in my honest opinion, generally the prices of your products are way too high. These are great products, but after all, they are only reproduction China manufactured models at nearly (or more) than the prices of genuine vintage examples that can be found on various internet auction sites etc.
Come on Mr Hornby, don't take your customers for granted in such a competitive marketplace. Review your pricing benefits for members and reward your loyal customers accordingly. There must be many other members fed up with a 'club' offering only a restrictive purchasing structure and almost no real benefits.
Thank you for your attention.

First class model Many thanks Malcolm

Sehr feines Modell. Gerne mehr von diesen Alltagsfahrzeugen!

Hi. Why why has the inner tray been modified from the original. Holes and straps to keep models in??. All the effort in making the box and inner tray to make a mistake. Can you remake the inner tray to the original one. Get it right please.

I noticed complaints from collectors about the batmobile giftset being sold out?. I too wanted a set. I tend to think the more people give negatives to this club the more they will understand there are serious collectors out there and should be notified when problems arise with stocks. Is it to much to ask corgi club.

This is the model that perhaps brings me more found memories about family members...
I still have my original pink one that was given by a dear very sweet family member a true lady of my Family that was very dear with me, she start to give a NSU Prinz Sport (Corgi # ???) that I still have its "mortal" remains (it was hitted by a giant foot of an adult and it didn't survived to the weight...) that was also a car that I liked very much...
And in substitution of this this lovely lady of my family gave me the lovely pink heinkel1 that I still have it altough the front tires didn't resist to time (astonishingly the rear tyre is as new...) and that car always have had a special place in my heart because of the family memories!
With this model by CMC I couldn't let it escape ...
I particurlaly do not like the colour of it but it is a wonderful model that is almost equal to original (I cannot sau it is equal or you start to be clumbsy in next models... 😆) but it is a very well done model !
Now I am expecting to see also the NSU PRINZ SPORT...
And other goodies such the (in spite of being a wheezwheels but I think it is a mark on the F1 panorama) F1 6 wheels Tyrrel...
Or the Porsche "Polizei" ...
Well Can you just fo all please? (🤣🤣🤣)
Congratulations for your amazing work keep going!

Orange version - nicely done but more QC issues unfortunately. Collapsed rear suspension and lumpy script on the base. Good job on the matt varnish finish on the box though - much better.
Replaced promptly.

It's terribly tiny, but remember I was a child when last had it. But let me say its exquisite , the detail for such a small model is awesome . Of course we know this from Corgi, and the CMC never let us down.
Even to the suspension everything is as the origional. The blue is perfect. It stands up against the origional issue, but has a place of its own as a replica. Well done CMC

Soy un fan de 007

Very nice car and an exact copy of the model I owed 60 years ago.

Excellent I'm going to get the other model as well.
