February 2015 saw the release of
a new flash drive from VMS
(Vehicles Model Studio). The 16GB drive takes the
form of a Citybus Enviro500NG. It comes in an
attractive silver presentation tin which has a
perspex panel,
showing off the drive, which sits in a foam insert, giving it perfect
protection. The two lower photographs give a comparison in size with a
1/76 scale example (which is not included!). The drive retails for
HK$100 and is available from VMS
(Vehicles Model Studio)
The postage cost to the UK for my sample totalled HK$30.10,
recorded delivery. For those who don't have access to Facebook but are
interested in acquiring one, please e-mail
me and I can provide an e-mail contact. February 2015 |

News
of this item first appeared
on 5th January 2006.
The item in question is actually a digital alarm clock, released by 80M Bus Model. On the lower part of the clock, there is a light sensor. When an item (not only Octopus cards...) is placed in front of it, blocking its light source, the green LED will light up and the buzzer will give a 'beep' sound, resembling the actions of a real Octopus reader (although I am advised that the sound does not resemble it that much!).
