Testimonials



"I have shopped at Dinky Store on several occasions and my queries have always been promptly answered. Dinky Toy purchases I have made from Jonathan have always been properly described & promptly shipped.  In my dealings, the quality of the toys sold by Jonathan are all first class"Dave Whatmore, Canada

"I recently bought two 2nd Type Dinky Toy Fodens in scarce colour schemes from Dinkystore.com and they look stunning in my cabinet. Jonathan's policy of 'full refund if not satisfied with model', including all postage, is unparalleled in the Dinky Toy collecting fraternity. It says a lot for the way you treat your customers and the confidence you have in the quality of your Dinky Toys. As you know, next to Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, Dinky Toys are the love of my life so they mean a lot to me, and as soon as my new SLK is paid for I'll be back for more"Malcom Denton, UK

"I have been a collector of high quality dinky and corgi models for two years now. Whenever I require a model to add to my collection, then it is to Jonathan that I make contact with first. Coupled with his excellent knowledge, no quibble returns service and free postage, Jonathan really does provide a first class comprehensive service." Graham Wood, UK
