GREETING FROM BANGKOK !!! Hello, I am a diecast toy collector from Thailand. I was born in Bangkok in mid 60's and grew up in the Vietnam War era. During my childhood, I used to live in Glasgow, Scotland in 1970 when my dad was sent there as a committee to oversee the shipbuilding of the first ever missile frigate for the Royal Thai Navy, and that how I came to know Dinky, Corgi, Solido and Matchbox. It is a great pleasure to be an eBay member and be able to buy all those toys I love. Well, I collect DINKY, CORGI, SOLIDO, DRAGON and HOBBY MASTER. My favorite category is, of course, tanks, airplanes and helicopters, especially the new lineups from Corgi Unsung Heroes and Aviation and WWII series.

Apart from being an avert toy collector, my other hobby includes shooting in the range. Well, I'm a proud owner of a 9 mm.

My favorite games are Command and Conquer III Tiberium Wars, Civilizations IV, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Europa Universal III/Rome, Granado Espada etc. Please see my games reviews on GameSpot by following the link below.
