Hello Group Members, I am trying to finish the MBX 50th Birthday collection and I'm in search of a model that I'm wishing and hoping that one of you is willing to part with. If anyone is willing to make a deal for this please PM me. Thank you! Mike

First of all, welcome aboard! Unfortunately, many Code 2 issues can be hard to find. I've got a long list myself, and unless the people that made them have extras, you were in with the organization or company that had them done, or live in the geographic area, it'll be difficult. Only Code 2s I own were bought from, or given to me by companies or agencies in my area. If I see one on Ebay or elsewhere, I'll let you know. |

Thank you very much! I've been collecting the 50th Birthday series and variants since 2002. In the past year I've gotten several extremely HTF models. I look at ebay nearly everyday for this model. I was outbid a few months ago and I've been kicking myself since. Thanks again! Mike |

Just a quick update for those interested. I found the international armored car that I inquired about in this post and I believe it completes my collection of MBX 50th Birthday with the 50th shield tampo. I have 100 models that were released for one reason or another. Regulars, ROW, Toy fair and club models. I also have 2 pre-pros. I don't know if there are anymore out there that I've never seen but if anyone knows of any more I would be grateful. I can post a list or I can PM anyone that wants to see the list. Thanks to everyone that helped me on my quest!! Mike |

It does feel great! The feeling is still settling in but that's dependent on the fact that I have them all. 2017 marks 15 years I've been collecting these. Now I have to get a case for display. |

I do have a few extra models that I felt went with the collection. I collected all models with the 50th Birthday tampo but I also wanted the 'Real Birthday' models released in 2003 because technically 2003 was the 50th birthday not 2002 plus 2 different pre-pros. The models are all not 1:64 either. I have 1:43 and one or two more scales as well and 2 convoys. |

Great collection that I've looked at so far. Thanks for posting them! If I may suggest something.....If you copy and paste the IMG link from your Photobucket pictures in the future they will show up in your posts rather than an address linking back to Photobucket....The only reason I suggest this is because it takes a long time for Photobucket to load its webpage with my old slow computer.

Is this a potential solution to the PB 3rd party linking? It is cumbersome as Douglas notes, but the links still work in post #18 above formated that way... On the other hand mstorms2672 may have the same grace period the pegers described. And note that poovanner also has the url wrapped around the image url with the "s" and 'i" prefixes in both url address in post #19 that also still seems to be working in other forums and posts still. I sent him a pm to follow up.... Edited by Milton Fox Racing, Jul 10 2017, 12:24 AM.
