Hi...

I'm on the lookout to purchase the 1:72 Vulcan XH558 from Corgi... if anyone has one to sell or can point me in the direction, that would be great...

A couple of sellers on eBay bud, these are likely to be the last ones for sale at such a reasonable price...the top one is advertised as 'new' for £120 buy it now, the other is an auction:

CORGI AA27201 AVRO VULCAN B2 XH558 VULCAN TO THE SKY RETURN

Avro Vulcan bomber die cast limited edition | eBay

There were a few at the Kempton Aviation fair back in November though, so if there are any of those coming up elsewhere, might be worth checking out?

sent chris an email with that link Andy a couple of hours ago!!

agree these are starting to dry up at reasonable prices!!

That's it Robert, I remember when KH Norton dropped their price to £90 for these, I pondered and before I knew it they were gone! Still anything less than £120 is very good, I was happy enough with £100...the last season of her flying this year is really what accelerated the sale of them, 6 months ago there were loads, but in 6 months I reckon they'll be back up to their original £180 price or more when you do see them for sale.

Cheers guys... have messaged the seller as the model is listed with a broken nose in the description...

The auction ended at £250... quite pricey....

Funny how so many turned their noses up at these "plastic" models with the wrong camo when they were released. Now there's a growing demand for them. I got in on the original release and this model has been the star of my collection ever since.

I don't collect military models, the reason I want to add to my collection is having seen it on display for the first and sadly last time in September 2015, and watched the great Guy Martin documentary recently, its given me a huge appreciation for what such a great aircraft the Vulcan was...
