Happy New Year! It is now officially 2026. However, I am still 5 reports away from finishing up all the Matchbox 2025 items. Wheel Collectors are getting 2026 items in, and I have received early batches of stuff, photographed them and am ready to start writing up about them in February. But, I wanted to make sure the last of the 2025 stuff was written up before I dive into the 2026 items. I do work a few months behind when things get released. Well, I have to make sure they get out to me, I photograph them and write them up. It doesn’t happen overnight. This is the final Collectors batch of the 2025 year, finishing off the entire set of 20. I do believe that, save for the odd Target Red, we have barely missed anything from Matchbox in 2025. Most years end up with odd models missing. So, time to get into the report. Click here if you want to check out all of Matchbox Monday reports on their website. I hope you enjoy it.
I found this batch in Home Bargains for £3.50 each just before Christmas. 👍
Lucky you. I checked a bunch of Home Bargains stores and never saw any trace of them.
Home bargains are very random to say the least. There are three local ones and only one stocked. I wish they stocked Matchbox all the time and at good/fair prices. Happy new year 👍
