So, Wheel Collectors sent me the final batch of 2024 (thanks guys, as this batch hasn’t been seen in the UK), which contains 11 models. I made a decision recently in a bid to not overdo things to cap a review at 10 models (at a push), as I don’t have the spare time I used to, which enabled me then to spend longer on photographing and writing. So, I split this. The first 6 come up this time, and, as I check my schedule, yes 3 weeks later for the other half, which will officially call time on 2024. I have 2 more 2024 related articles to write up as well. As is the norm, the article will be heading up on Monday on their website, under the blog section, which you can access at this link. I hope you enjoy the latest report.
Case M had been spotted at a few UK The Entertainer and Matalan stores before very quickly being replaced by 2025 Case A. That shortage has made the secondary prices of the red Fiesta Mk2 remain ridiculously high.
Really? Matalan? I have never heard of Matchbox being found there before. I haven’t been in for ages. I might have to take a trip to my local one, out of curiosity.
Only through their connection with The Entertainer who merchandise their toy section like at Tesco too. Expect the same batches….
In 2025, Case A swiftly supplanted Case M, which had been seen in a handful of UK Matalan and The Entertainer stores. The red Fiesta Mk2’s secondary market value is still astronomically high due to the scarcity of the vehicle.
