    Old Frog model kits. Collectable? Valuable?

    Hi all.
    I've been going through my stash recently and found a few old Frog kits. I seem to remember seeing some of these are collectable and/or valuable? Can anyone shed any light, or offer any advice please? Thanks in advance

    Hi Dale
    There are some old kits worth quite a lot to collectors. Don't know about yours. I'd look on eBay (and elsewhere) to see what they are going for

      Thanks Jim R - good shout. I'll have a Google (is that even a verb? - it is now)

        I still have a few Frog kits from the 1970s.

        They were being sold in the model shop opposite school two for the price of one at either 35, 45 or 55 pence depending on the size......

          Dale,
          have a look on this page: https://www.kingkit.co.uk/shop.php?s...=26&scale=1^72 - vou can get a sense of how much things are worth - although ebay is probably the route to go down!

            It's been a verb for as long as can remember probably the best part of 20 years ... Seemed to catch on very quickly once their search engine gained popularity....for better or worse

              Yeah, very few people used to say “I’ve yahood [ICODE]M113[/ICODE]” or “Let me altavista that for you”, let alone “I’ll just bing it”, but “to google” seems to have caught on.
