I'm really glad this was available. Just like the original model from days of yore. Back in the mid 60's when we lived in Luxembourg, Dad took us visit Patton's grave in Luxembourg. On the way home, we stopped at a small store and in a rare event, he let us kids get one thing each that we wanted. I got the original Oldsmobile Staff Car and treasured it dearly. Regrettably it got lost when we moved stateside in 1968. Several years ago, I found the one had from the 60s on Ebay, and obtained it after a furious bidding war. The seller was in Switzerland, and that it in of it self is a tale, but for another day. Of course it was sans the box. Now I have this re-release with the box and you can't tell the difference putting them side by side, except for the bit of age on the original one, although it was well kept. Well done indeed Corgi!!
The cars and customer service are great. The shipping department is where the problem lays. The boxes that are used are very thin cardboard with very little padding inside them to protect the contents. The boxes arrive to me crushed and fhis area needs to be improved upon.
Magnificent reproduction of this model. Great to see models I had and saw as a child reproduced in great detail
I was a bit disappointed to find out that Corgi was available two years ago so now I have to buy twice as many cars just to catch up! (at least thats my excuse to just buy them all!).
So pleased with the Batmobile, brings back so many memories, highly recommend Corgi Model Club USA. Now waiting for the Man From UNCLE and Green Hornet cars!
I had this when I was a kid. And the original ones are so expensive. It’s just how I remembered it. Thank you I got back a peace of my childhood.
This is my 2nd Batmobile in a couple of months from Corgi. (Had to get one for my grandson, too)
Both exactly what I was hoping for.
Excellent reproduction of the car.
Communication with the Corgi reps was excellent.
Delivery on time.
I am a 100% satisfied customer.
Fantastic job on the reissue of the great old toy. I had this many ears ago in 1966. My Mom bought it for me and I loved it so much. I still have the original, but it is in very played with shape. I am happy to have this new beauty to display. Thanks so much for your wonderful efforts on this reissue. Fantastic job. Greg
Fantastic, just as I remember as a child.
I never had one, but a friend did and I always played with it when I could.
This was a "catch-up" model which came along with my last order. Very nice indeed - another great Corgi replication - keep it up
Contacted Corgi about above! Said item is getting ready to ship!! Really! Somebody is asleep at the wheel!
