Model: Matchbox MB004 (or MB04-D) ’57 Chevy Release: 1980 (& 1981) basic range eBay link: Matchbox ‘57 Chevy Why is it in the collection: Childhood memories I was born in the UK in 1972. Growing up I was addicted to toy cars, as I just loved the real things. I still remember in 1980 when […]

So, things are still a little unusual and people are not being able to go anywhere far. I thought why not go on a virtual tour through Matchbox. I have not had anything new from Wheel Collectors as yet, so I thought I would dive into the Across America series. But first a disclaimer. This […]

Model: Matchbox MB504 Jeep Liberty Release: 2001 North American International Auto Show eBay link: Matchbox Jeep Liberty Why is it in the collection: It was my first eBay win It’s always great when a major vehicle manufacturer teams up with a toy company to produce models of their new vehicle right from the word go. […]

Well you probably know the drill. Sadly still nothing new from Wheel Collectors, so this week’s deep dive looks at all the times the Matchbox 5-packs have hooked up. With social distancing being a bit of a thing now, I thought well it only applies to humans. So it’s time for the Matchbox collection to […]

This week for Matchbox Monday another dive into my collection. I think this is the oldest dive so far since I started doing these earlier this year. Sadly there is still no new items coming from Wheel Collectors but I choose to find another item to focus on in the meantime. The year was 1994. […]

Model: Matchbox MB759 Dodge Challenger Release: 2012 10-pack eBay link: You need to search Matchbox Dodge Challenger SRT8, but this specific one doesn’t pop up often Why is in the collection: It’s rather unusual exclusivity Sometimes it pays to go nuts for the larger packs. I know a lot of people who collect Matchbox are […]

So, I hope people had a safe and clean Easter. I checked and sadly Wheel Collectors still have nothing new to send me. But they are safe and sound and raring to go as soon as things do pop up. So today, for my dive back, I thought I would check out some of the […]

In the days before roads, and mud was everywhere, we had dinosaurs. Through various eras in earth’s history there have been creatures no longer seen today. But with TV shows and films with time travel elements, we had the ability to go back and see these creatures (at least in our minds). But there were […]

Well, we could be in for a short period of no new items to showcase on the Matchbox front, although Wheel Collectors will be sending me items over as soon as they get any in. So what to do in the meantime? Each week I will try and come up with something a bit different. […]

Well this is the last group of Matchbox models from the recent batch that arrived a few weeks back. As always I want to give a big shout out to Wheel Collectors, as they were instrumental in getting the batch over to me super quick. Due to there being 17 models in the batch, I […]

Well it’s that time of week again. I split my review into batch C of the 2020 basic range into 3 parts, with this being the middle part. One more next Monday. As ever, I am thankful to Wheel Collectors who sent me over this batch to review. As mentioned last week, I did a […]

Well it’s that time of week again. Luckily for me, Wheel Collectors have been awesome to me. They got the new “U” case of basics in at the end of February, and rushed through a set directly to me in the UK. Luckily it arrived by the weekend and I was able to make a […]

Well, this week for Matchbox Monday, I am currently waiting on a package to arrive from Wheel Collectors with new items, so I needed to come up with something different. I have done a little dive into my collection and thought I would come up with something a little unusual. I am not sure if […]
