Have you ever had this problem?

The newest Brooklin LE, that EMC Porsche, the great Goldvargs...,  those are all really nice, but do you ever wish for a simpler time?  (Well, maybe not simpler...)  I think our own Randy the RV man gave me this hint, so I do blame this forum, but I went over to ePay the other day and put in a bunch of low bids on some 1/43 Alfas.  I doubled up on a few, but I did not win any of those at all; however, I did win six at a great price.  I was hoping for one or two...  😆

A Metosul Portugal diecast Giulietta Spider, 2 Carabinieri partworks (very cool Giulia wagon and a Romeo van (get it?) ), another Junior Z (not by Solido but by Verem, still made in France).  A Dinky clone, plastic made in Hong Kong at a slightly larger scale, is the OSI Scarabeo ( https://diecast.org/community/1_43/more-about-the-alfa-romeo-scarabeo-concept-car-dinky-toys/ )

Finally, the one resin car is from the 1940 Mille Miglia, where 11 Alfa Romeos were entered.  This 6C 2500 SS Spider came in second, #84, piloted by Farina and Mambelli (Racing Sports Cars). Top Model Collection (Italy) was in production in the 1990s and I have not bought any since.  I paid 2-4x for them back then compared to this recent one.  No real chrome on these old Alfas so no issues with any falling off.
