Must just be the angle of the camera playing tricks on you. That is about how big my big one is.

Yeah mine were well packaged in bubble wrap and everything in a padded bag and somehow it still got damaged I'd hate to think how much you'd have to pack it in order for it to not get damaged!

Looks like I'm just unlucky.

OK , I thought I was going to have to go searching again .... By the way , you do know there's fridge magnets of them as well ?

No I didn't know there are fridge magnets of them! Looks like that's something else that I will have to add to the list of things to get, just like those money boxes up in caloundra next time I'm up there.

It doesn't stop.........

I got them in the homewares place I got the moneyboxes from but I've since seen one in a bargain type shop . I'll keep an eye out for more .

That's the small mini from flute that it's in front of , the other is green and white like the other money box .

If you manage to find some more in your travels I'll buy some off of you and pay for postage. TIA.

Glad most arrived undamaged. Picked up another red one for 1018cc today and will stick in a box this time. Now I will have to look out for the red money box and fridge magnets. Still about 3 red and 4 green little ones left at the cake shop. They have never sold so many cake decorations! I like the ceramic one on the link Wombat put up too but reckon that would get smashed for sure in the post.

Must be a lot of sick customers from the cake shop then

Thread Reanimation .....

In Port Macquarie recently I stumbled across these bookends that look to have been made from the same mould as the moneyboxes , they are heavy (2 1/2kg for the pair) and the shop said they were the only ones they had and couldn't find anymore so no idea on finding any others . Also got the metal mini in a gift shop in Coffs today , somewhere around 1:14 scale and slightly smaller than the others I've seen around . They had another one there (and it comes in a sturdy box suitable to post) if anyone wants one and can't find it locally .
