1:43 Scale, Tiny
There is currently no mention of their scale on the Amazon page so I stupidly presumed they'd be 1:24 scale due to their price.The Vans are 1:43 Scale which for 3 Vans at £67.99 is incredibly steep although they are a collectors piece, I got them on sale for £47.99 which puts them at £15.99 per Van which at 1:24 I would have said that's a decent fair price maybe a little cheap but they're 1:43 which I'd argue is steep, I don't tend to buy "Collectible" cars or trains but I'm a Big fan of Wallace and Gromit.I was a little disappointed this set didn't include the Anti Pesto Van from the Curse of the Were Rabbit film but its obvious and clear it isn't part of the set in the pictures.From the pictures the quality and detail looks great but their size is too small for the price even with it being a collectors piece, Maybe to someone who buys a lot of collectible Cars and Trains this would be a decent price but not to an outsider who is only interested in Wallace and Gromit.I've had to return mine due to damage to the Display Box, I would have looked part the 1:43 and took it on the chin but not with damage to a collectors peice, (A little more information on the matter below) :(Not related to the review, But Amazon delivered mine with a label stuck to the collectors box which arrived with dented corners although I don't blame the courier because Amazon is notorious for packing damaged goods from their warehouse, I was blacklisted Christmas 2022 ? Or 2023? due to excessive returns because I kept receiving DVD box sets which had been smashed to bits or slashed so I had to get in contact to get the blacklist lifted. Books arrive with bent pages and dog eared corners with scuffs all over the covers. Video Games, DVDs, Blu Rays and 4Ks arrive with Discs clattering all over the box with scratches to the discs, embossment marks on the sleeves and covers, slashes in the sleeves and covers, dog ears and rips to the sleeves, cracked boxes, chips missing from the boxes, spindles having lost grips and boxes even arriving smashed to pieces. I've rarely seen an Amazon shipping box damaged they are almost always arrived in perfect condition which means they've been packed in the warehouse damaged and broken and I might be a bit picky in comparison to most because when I'm paying for something brand new I want it to be in acceptable condition, The only time shipping boxes do arrive damaged is when they contain heavy things like Mouthwash and a note to make about that is they often pack things like DVDs with HEAVY THINGS like mouthwash or 5L bottles of Disinfectant which contribute to damage because it's usual a loose box with everything flying around inside and sometimes the token 1ft of packing paper for the "environment" which is ironic as returns which Amazon receive are usually thrown into a bin and sent to landfill or are sold to smaller shops as B grade, I just wish Amazon would store stuff properly at their warehouses and maybe paid their staff a livable wage so they didn't feel the need to throw stuff about and scuff stuff down chutes because they're damanded of unrealistic expectations of productivity.)
