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.

The first batch of 2025 Working Rigs includes a brand new casting. As is often the case, we see a mix of new stuff and carry forwards in the batch.

The second half of the second batch of 2025 is up and (hopefully) in one piece. I think I will be doing a number of batch splits. Especially when they have extra additions, like this batch did.

As has been the case for a number of years, Matchbox is keeping the Moving Parts series at 50, and it is split into 8 batches through the year. This week is the first batch of 2025.
