The last Rough Rider I used I bought out of a vending machine in a gas station rest room.

My wife brought me back this one from England in September. 1:18 scale so it's about 10" long. It's sorta odd that it's LHD though.

A Corgi 1:43 Series 1
This one is cool because it's a limited release. Apparently they removed it from sale after noticing they spelled Haltwhistle wrong (left out the 'h')

We cant see how cool your wife is Tom unless we see a picture of her.


Those are some VERY nice collectibles.
