This week, my Matchbox Monday article showcases the first Walmart exclusive (in the USA, other countries may have them in other stores). For 2026, Matchbox appears to have really stepped up their exclusives game.

The second half of the first batch of 2026 basic range models is the subject of this week's Matchbox blog. And this includes all the new castings that debuted in this batch.

I think that the first batch of the Matchbox 2026 Moving Parts series is possibly my favourite batch of the year. So much good stuff in it. I can't wait to see if they can prove me wrong.

Yes, it's time to make a start on the 2026 Matchbox model year. As I tend to do, I will begin with some basic range models. Only half, as there was a lot in the batch.

This is it. The final Matchbox blog report for 2025 items. Next week I begin the 2026 items. I finish with the last Working Rigs batch of 2025, along with the final Mattel Creations release of the year.

This week sees me finish off the 2025 Matchbox basic range, along with a little bonus model to finish things off.

This week sees me running through the final batch of 2025 Moving Parts from the Matchbox brand, which I was lucky to have the Super Chase from Wheel Collectors as well.

Time for me to split the final batch of Matchbox 2025 basic range models in 2 and work my way through the first half. I am edging closer to finishing off the 2025 year.

This week, my Matchbox blog focuses on the final batch of the 2025 Collectors series, which sees us getting the last 6 castings, 2 new, 2 old, 2 Porsche!

In this week's Matchbox blog, I take a look at the second batch of Matchbox Candy for 2025. This batch is made up of half new and half carry forward items.

This week sees me tackle the last half of the penultimate Matchbox basic range batch of the year. Batch L, part 2.

Batch G of the Matchbox 2025 Moving Parts series sees 5 out of the 6 models as new castings. That is a very high percentage.

This week, I begin my trek through the penultimate batch of Matchbox basic range models. Batch L has quite a few new castings as well.

This week's article has me taking a look at what Matchbox did to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Mattel company.

The 2nd half of batch K gets the Tilley treatment this week, which includes both the chase models. Super Chase for around the world, or Target Red for a certain store in the USA.

This week sees me running through the final 2025 Walmart exclusive series of models. This is a really cool batch, as it is the one with the new casting. We get one each year.

Batch K of the basic range is a fun one. It features a chase and a Target Red. Both will appear in the second half, when I do that in a few weeks, as this is a larger assortment again. This means it has been split into 2.

This week sees me running through the 6th batch of Moving Parts for 2025. There are some great models in this batch, including a Super Chase which I did need to chase down.

This week sees me returning to the Matchbox basic range assortment. This time out, the assortment is small enough for me to go through in 1 report.

This week sees me turn my attention to the rest of the Jurassic World Rebirth releases from Matchbox.

This week, my Matchbox report is split into 2 halves. To begin with, the usual report, where I run through another Collectors batch. But, as Leipzig was last weekend, I was unable to get photos in time to add to the Leipzig model report. So, I added those at the end.
