Bus Collectibles

I had recently bought a HK double-decker bus model at NTUC Fairprice for $19.90. The HK bus was made of die cast metal - svc 970 (HX5593). It resembled SBST's Dennis Tridents; except that this HK bus model had a rear emergency exit window on the upper deck.

Has anyone bought similar bus models??

Hmm.. I've been searching for that Trident-like bus for so long.. There are other numbers and models as well, especially at Kiddy Palace and Metro but I still fail to get the 970 Trident..

Hmmz.. so which is this NTUC outlet u got d 970 from?

Go to Hougang Point Festival Mkt along Hougang Ave 9 NTUC outlet (Toys section). I just bought this model only a couple of days back, and there's still a number on the shelf. Hope you all like it.

(btw, where's Kiddy Palace?)

There are currently types available in the mkt. The 1st type is from NWFB and the other type is a smaller version [front desto is sv28] I saw them at Takashimaya Toy dept... Alternatively if u want similar looking models, u can go online to purchase:www.jotus.com
