June brings a Postal theme to a number of models.... A Toyota IQ. Its number 28 and replaces a Honda Elysion MPV ![]() This is just starting to appear in the UK. Little larger than a Smart car but 3, nearly 4 seats. However for a lot less money and only a few inches longer the Aygo/C1/107 is reckoned to be a better all rounder. A Suzuki Every van in post office livery. Its no.68 and it replaces a Isuzu snorkel fire engine. ![]() ![]() ![]() The box set is a postal vehicles one… ![]() The ‘long’ range (numbers 120+ is extended with these.. 134 A bendy bus. This doesn’t look to be a copy of the old one. ![]() 135 A steam locomotive. ![]() 136 Is an airport tug with two trailers and aircraft luggage containers. ![]() Happy collecting... Chris The limited, super detailed, release for june is an Isuzu giga truck - in post office livery. (TL 0108) ![]() PS: I shamelessly copied and pasted this thread - 10 hours of holiday traffic and a bottle of scotch will do that to a man - sorry!!!

Perhaps Bourbon would've produced different results?

Meh. Does the bus actually articulate? |

No idea if it will articulate, but I do like this selection. Then again, I am bit bent... Bourbon is far worse, believe me! I needed a drop, I drove for hours to a place where the fish are guaranteed to bite. And they bit like crazy - they just didn't stay on the hook the little xxxxxxxxs. Got sunburned badly too as I left my hat in the car when hiring the boat - Thanks for letting me share - I feel better now. Edited by diecastdingo, Apr 13 2009, 08:39 PM.

Thanks for the info diecastdingo. Just yesterday I read about the Toyota IQ. And here it is in diecast. I'd like to see more pics of the 1:1 but it would make an excellent addition to my collection. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I actually like most of the month's additions! The IQ and Every will be joining my collection, and while I wasn't planning on chasing the truck Limited models, I will make an exception for this one as postal vehicles are a subset of my collection. But the real winner here in my eyes is the airport tug. Too cool! I need it! |

I did not know about the IQ. I want a Tomica IQ! The real car is slightly bigger than a Smart car, but the difference is it has 4 seats. Well, technically they call it a '3 + 1', which basically means 3 adults and one child with no legs. |

Not a problem! Nice to see the news here too. I imagine the bus will bend. Their last bendy bus had a flexible bellows section (as do the siku models.) Some of these photos look to be resin pre-pros/trials Chris .p Edited by chris.p, Apr 16 2009, 06:23 AM.
