I got a 1:43 scale Colorado/90 off the fleabay last year for 7 quid. It's identical to my own and sits on a windowsill in front of a trailer carrying a 1:43 Ferguson 20 ( also have the real article) so don't think you are sad at all! Keep looking, some Chinese companies licensing the stuff these days

so don't think you are sad at all!

Not sad at all, I have 18 models of the 34 vehicles I've owned sitting on the shelf above my PC, most are very small, about 1.5" approx I don't know what scale they are, I'd be a bit pushed for space if I got bigger ones, but the biggest one of all is a white 80 series 5" long
