Blimey, they really are turning into a juggernaut aren't they. Airfix a cheap pickup no doubt, but Corgi seemed to be doing ok.
I've had this feeling that models are 'coming back' a bit. I wonder when Hornby'll give the area the same huge kick up the BTM it did to the train sets recently.

It says "Last year, Corgi Classics generated sales of £6.5m"
So they'll get their money back very soon.
