As the title says "what do I do with these?"
Sell or build, from what I can see the boxes are sealed, I really should check the contents!
What's your thoughts guys?

Sell! Unless you want some unusual shelf decoration!

Steve, I did think about... I've never heard of Highway Miniatures! What price would I try for?!
 
Not a manufacturer I’ve come across either. Are they all white metal Lee?
 
Just looked them up. Looks like the range owner (Jordan Jackson) instructed his heirs not to sell the range on when he died in 2015 Lee. They may therefore be eminently collectible, especially if you have any rarities there.
More info on the range here….

Interesting read.

Just had a brain fart, one of the is white metal as it's heavier the the other kits
 
That’ll be the wheel works one then, says it on the front ;) Another site I found seems to think they were highly regarded with detailed mouldings. They look plastic according to that eBay listing.

Thats right mate, just checked 3 kits, wheel works is white metal the other 2 are plastic!
Would that still go for £25???

Absolutely no idea Lee LOL. Try someone like Kingkit and see if they’ve got one for sale. Remember, the price on buy it now might not be what it actually goes for. 1/87 (HO) is a rarer scale in the UK as well, most railway stuff is OO, not HO.

Good point about scale, see how that one goes!
Kingkit don't seem to have anything, I'll have a deeper look on the net.
 
It's worth checking ebay sold listings - that will give you a better indication of what they're fetching rather than what people are asking for.

Check the listings, add 25% on the average sale price, haggle - then accept slightly above the average sale price (grudgingly!)

Ooohh Steve! What chance has Lee got of getting the price he wants from anyone here now you've told him how to do it?!
 
I hate to say I have Appox. 30 of the Mack’s that have different bodies. I also have some very rare one that first came out in brown envelopes super rare.
