Another little treat from the Gathering. The Matchbox Team handed out artwork for 25 New Models this year. Most models we have seen already released, but it was nice to see the artwork for the upcoming Skyline (find the error), Dodge Ram, and Volvo Wagon.
Some lucky winners even took home posters of the models as well.
So for those of you who didn’t make it, enjoy…

error? rear fenders?
It's pathetic that it's mid 2016 and I still have only seen 5 of the castings on pegs anywhere.
The Skyline has a GT-R badge on the grill. Great error!
I really do hope Matchbox goes back to the way they used to be, more licensed cars.
Well, so far I've found the Zamboni.
It's good that Matchbox went back to making posters. But the content is not the greatest. The only note-worthy cars are the Miata, Chrysler 300, Skyline, Volvo Wagon, Corvette Fire Chief, and maybe the Zamboni.
I remember the days (2006-2011) when the posters of the full lineup came out and most series would have a whole variety of new castings (licensed castings and a few good looking generics) were offered along with great older castings. It gave me such euphoria back then. Oh how I wish those days would come back to Matchbox! Although they're making small recoveries, it's still not the same.
I wish the Indian Mahindra Scorpio jeep would be on next lineup. It is sold in the USA as Mahindra Goa. Please reconsider it.
just fix distribution. All big chain stores should stock your product. If they sell hotwheels they should sell matchbox. How can Hotwheels be decent and close to on point, but yet Matchbox is not even close? Can you imagine if they were a magazine? Imagine its july and you are just received Feb in your mailbox, and sometimes, the magazine company sends you the wrong magazine? That is what being a fan of matchbox feels like. Also atleast half of the assortment for the new models are garunteed peg warmers.
yeah I saw that too.
How come everyone jacks off about a skyline whats the the big deal? I have seen it and on the pegs it stayed
yup, i frequently see them in our streets driven by our police force…looking pretty nice…
