F is for Follow-up - Chinacars!

I managed to find vehicles from the big die-cast post in Rack Toy Month just gone three times in one day, all in Basingrad, but I forgot to shoot one, which was a five-pack of the commoner models . . .

. . . which were also in Tiger as single vehicles in simple boxes, with one of those silly fake 'skandie' titles; in this case Bil . . . or bil; the lower-case is everything - I'm not joking - some agency was probably paid £10-grand for that 'idea'!

They also have a simple one-colour finish, but all that simplicity of paint and packaging makes them more expensive at a quid, than some of the more decorated versions we looked at last time, most of which were either also a pound or only 99p!

While these less common vehicles (they were as common as the others about 10/15 years ago though and turn-up loose all the time), as StreetMachine are in Smyths superstores, there was a single-vehicle StreetMachine (imported by Kandytoys; I don't know the importer here) or two in the previous post.
