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.

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.

Matchbox has been adding a number of electric vehicles into their portfolio, as part of their overall mission to go greener by 2030.

This week, I return to the modern stuff, by finishing off the batch I started just before Easter. But, I added a little bonus model on the end.

Another break from the usual look at new Matchbox items. As I stopped doing my weekly dives, due to work commitments, I occasionally take a week to just pull out some older items for fun. I hope you enjoy my choices this time.

Another basic range batch, and another set of models I am only showing half of so far. The rest will come in a few weeks. This is the 2025 batch C first half of Matchbox.

Is it me, or are the 2025 Moving Parts batches coming out thick and fast? We only get 8 batches through the year (I wish it was more), and we appear to be getting a batch almost every month. This is the second of the batches for 2025, which I did need to do a little chasing.

It's about time I made a start on the Walmart exclusive items for 2025. The first set we saw was the Truck series, featuring only 5 models, but still we get 3 exclusives. I prefer this method with a higher percentage of exclusive content. Hopefully it means less peg warming.
