Matchbox Working Rigs batches are usually small. So, I decided to add a little extra to this batch of them. Mattel Creations have not exactly been doing a lot of Matchbox lately. So far in 2025, we have seen 1. And it's May! I am waiting patiently for the new Audi casting. It has to arrive eventually. In fact, as I write, I think it is about to arrive! Woohoo!
Hot Wheels has a sale, IXO goes to the Brickyard, Greenlight previews a new Corvette, DiecastTalk drops a futuristic Toyota, and more in this week's 5-Pack
The third batch of 2025 Matchbox Moving Parts brings us 1 new casting and a handful of new looks. It's still a fun batch.
With Hot Wheels' Lotus Cortina imminent, another Cortina is already on sale: Alex Winson takes a moment to look at the recently released Cortina GT from Australian brand Trax.
Hot Wheels sells some surplus RLC cars, Mini GT releases a not so mini set, Greenlight gets new lowriders, and more in this week's 5-Pack.
Back to the basics. I worked out, if I keep splitting Matchbox basic range batches in 2, then they will need to be showcased every 2–3 weeks to keep pace. I may even do 2 in a row. I haven't figured out that far ahead yet. But, for now, enjoy the first half of batch D.
Leipzig 2025 will be going ahead as normal this year, running alongside the Modell-Hobby-Spiel event at the start of October. Dirk is getting ready to open up registration shortly, so here are some tidbits for people, along with a registration auction.
New releases teased, future RLC drops, hobby exclusives previewed, and more in this week's 5-Pack.
And suddenly it's 2024 again! Bearded Mug Media releases his overdue Top Ten into the wild.
Matchbox has been adding a number of electric vehicles into their portfolio, as part of their overall mission to go greener by 2030.
