I do have a box of boxes in the loft, but not sure I will ever be able to re-match the correct cars up with the right box now.

The most recent models I got were a special limited edition of a "Rowntrees and KitKat" trucks in a plastic display box. I felt a bit of a heathen unscrewing them from the case, so I could put the two cars in the cabinet, but decided I was doing all the other collectors a favour, as I had just increased the value of theirs..

Bear in mind its still boxed with the 10 original bars inside still.
And I know what you mean, whenever I buy hot wheels I always buy duplicates so I can keep some carded and open others. The die hards really get upset when you rip open a £100 car lol

Did you ever see the James May program where he bought a rare train set, and opened it in the shop. Very funny.

Like 10 bars of Crunchie chocolate would stay unopened in this house.
