Oh wow! How many new Matchbox castings can you throw in a Moving Parts batch? All of them? Wait, one has to go to make way for a Super Chase? I'd rather have the new one. Ha ha!

It is time for me to bring out the rest of the Matchbox L batch of basics to complete the write-up on all 12 models that were released.

It is time for my Top 10 list for 2024. The Matchbox models that have floated my boat the best. There were a lot to choose from, so again I have made 3 lists.

With this being the Christmas week, I thought I would do another dive into my collection of older Matchbox models. Something a little different. Ho ho ho!

With the final batches of the Matchbox 2024 basic range being so large, I am splitting them in 2 for easier blogging (for me). Let's get into the first half of batch L

The final Matchbox Hitch & Haul batch of 2024 sees 2 new looks, as well as a new casting. Plus, we do see a couple of repeats.

This week, I decided to review all of the Matchbox 8-packs that arrived in 2024, as a follow-up to my last multipack blog.

Another batch of basics. Wow! I am working my way through these thick and fast at the moment. With the UK and USA being stuck for a while, the batches have been piling in. This is the 10th batch of the year. 2 more left.

This week, I look at the final Walmart exclusive Matchbox set of 2024. This is the one we get each year with a new casting. I do enjoy those batches.

This week sees me looking at batch J of the 2024 basic range, as well as a straggler that was around in batch H (albeit in small numbers, by the look of it).

This week sees me looking at a couple of the recent Mattel Creation issues, both of which have come from older castings. That means a larger dive back on them.

This week sees batch C of the 2024 Matchbox Working Rigs go under the Tilley microscope.

Time for batch H of the basic range. The 8th batch of the year sees a high count of new castings among the items.

This week sees me tackling the Matchbox items that were created for the latest Matchbox European Convention, in Leipzig, Germany.

This week sees me looking at the 2024 Collectors batch C, now available at Wheel Collectors. 5 models in the batch, and most have something in common.

I can't believe I am almost done with Moving Parts for 2024. There is only 1 more batch to go, and then it will be 2025 for this series.

With the Leipzig models arriving so late for Dirk, I never had a chance to get them before my next report was due. So, they will be up, all being well, next week. In the meantime, how about a dive back into some classic German vehicles?

Another year, another Leipzig Matchbox Convention has happened. If you have been with us for a number of years, you will know exactly what is happening here.

This week, I am looking at the latest European Streets batch of models, as I begin the journey to Leipzig 2024. And there is an auction keeping my company.

Another year, another Leipzig Matchbox Convention is looming. If you have been with us for a number of years, you will know exactly what is happening here.

Yes, I am back immediately with another batch of basic range models. Batch G contains another 8 releases, plus, if you are lucky, you may find a chase.

This week's Matchbox blog finds me looking through batch F of the Moving Parts series for 2024. Including new castings and a chase.

This week I am back in the basic range stuff. For some reason, a number of countries (the USA and UK being 2) arrived in good time with batch E, and then got stuck. I have no idea why? The USA is finally moving forward again, and so I have new stuff to showcase.

This week sees me rattle my way through some more of the Mattel Creations items. However, I also went nuts, and purchased some larger playsets.
