If you know where to look its still possible to find absolute bargains on Ebay. I recently won a job lot of early Welly multi-sets along with some Maisto ones too, all in unopened and "as new" condition. One such Welly set dates from their early Hong Kong years and even features on the packaging the earliest WELLY logo i've ever seen. All my previous models from this era were packaged under various in house retailer/distributor brands.
This super charming Hino Dolphin is a reminder of Welly early years when quite a lot of their castings were simply copies of Tomica and given additional new body types for maximum play value. At the time they were seen as inferior to Western makes such as Matchbox yet with hindsight were actually rather well made and finished.
Part of a 12 vehicle set.
Mint and boxed.
