In 1980 Lesney commenced manufacture of certain castings in Hong Kong , this arrangement
was fairly short lived but resulted in some interesting models for the collector, most
were issued in the USA but some were released in other markets.
All card "picture" boxes similar to those issued in the UK were used at first , these have a more "waxy" feel than there predecessors , generic yellow boxes and blister cards were also utilised for some issues.
Some of these castings were later made in Macau.
Below are pictures of some of these models.
