Well done

I thought it was a good price too, especially for its colour.

Funny isn't it, once you have the model you want, it always leads to wanting more

Got over 600 mini models at last count, been collecting them since the mid 80s.

I have three versions of Matchbox 29 and I can confirm the green edged sticker came in the later box.




There is also another colour variation which is very rare, and very expensive. There are some pre-production versions which were painted gold. These always come unboxed and without the stickers on the doors. Over the years I have only seen two come up at toy auctions, and both sold for over £300!

There are around seven different versions of the Mini Ha Ha. Most variations are the colour of the helmet and the head of the driver, also there are a couple of different rondels on the doors.

Thank you for that i was worried it was the wrong box! The mini ha ha also has a few different window colours not sure which one i have! The orange one you have with the orange sticker is that the original box and did it also come in the later box? I have seen one in the other box and wondered if it was original! I want them all eventually! I think i have done well on the three i have How much did you pay for each of yours if you don't mind me asking? Cheers again. Oh and by the way you have an amazing model collection!

The version with the orange sticker edge did come in both box types. Also both orange and red versions came in various bubble packs.
I got my Matchbox cars at toy auctions in batch lots of Matchbox Toys. I sold the others on Ebay and made enough money back to make a little profit and keep the Minis, so I got them for nothing in the end. That's how I have got most of my collection over the years.
