Went to the local flea market and I spotted a 1970 Matchbox 72 count carrying case. It had a handful of cars in it. Me and the guy struck a deal and it came home with me. I was only interested in the case so if you see anything you like make me an offer. Ol I got him to throw in a nice HotWheels Bigfoot for my son (not for sale). Enjoy.

Big Foots? Or Big Feet?

I am guessing the old looking MBX are repops, but the dump truck with the half cab on the left in that pic I'm not so sure about, that one might be original. I really like the little red wrecker in that pic! Nice haul!

That's a really nice case!

Can I bother you for more pictures of it, inside?

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
Great finds!

I'd be interested in the Mayflower truck and the Darda Camaro. Not sure what fair value is for them though.

Hey Swifty I think the Mayflower is spoken for. The Darda Camaro is $2 maybe plus shipping IDK?

Thanks guys for the comments. :D

Usually the fleas around here suck too. They have the same peg warmers as WalMart only a dollar more. :angry: This guy was selling a washer and dryer set. I spotted the case out of the corner of my eye. :bangles:

I have a 72 car case but it's got a different picture than yours...I didn't realize there were different versions of the same case.

Thanks for the pic!

I like collecting cases, as it's double feature. Stores and is collectible!

I definitely need to keep an eye out for one like that, it looks fantastic!
