I do not collect Die Cast, I never saw them in denmark in the shops so I first learned about them much later. I hope other members can help with pictures of one from a collection

Love it - great memories of getting my one
My Mum was heading for Surrey for for a week and asked if I'd like anything brought back up to Scotland. I'd wanted a TPCC for ages but they never made it up to my local toy shop. I was sure every second shop in England would have them - was so excited especially when she phoned and said she'd got one.
When she got home it was a die cast not what I was expecting but it was still really cool and I was delighted to get it

I've never collected the die-cast range myself, but it is nice, and yours is an absolute beauty carded. Thanks for sharing

That's a great story (although I feel your childhood pain not getting the version you wanted!). You're right though, the die-cast is still a great item. Thanks for sharing

It also doubled up nicely as a Black Hole gun back in the day
