I didn't expect to see this on a recent visit to Target: Yet another Jurassic World 5-pack from Matchbox, and two new castings. There is a motorcycle I am not familiar with, but I am more focused on the top model, which looked to be another Mercedes-Benz Unimog. So of course I bought the pack, …

Now THIS is a 5-pack! Maybe the most loaded 5-pack in the last 5-6 years from the orange brand. Not a weak one in the bunch. Better yet, some of the best. The SLR McLaren, for example, has never looked better. Matchbox has released the first two packs of 2019, Blue Highways and MBX Construction, …

The first Matchbox 5-pack for 2019 is out, and boy is it nice. Called Blue Highways, and found by collector @Diecast58, who posted it on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqTNbTVA40U/ Dang that's nice. I am particularly fond of the SLR McLaren with black 5-spokes, as well as that yellow Camaro. Heck they are all great.

Just came across this beauty at Target: https://www.instagram.com/p/Biw57BklvYH/?taken-by=thelamleygroup I have already sung the praises of the Car Meet 5-pack, and now here is another. Look for it at Target now, a million other places soon. I'll have a showcase shortly.
In the coming days, there will be a slew of Matchbox previews coming. 5-packs today, many more afterwards, in both video and photo form: https://www.instagram.com/p/BgtXV_mlWt-/?taken-by=thelamleygroup I have a photo preview hitting later today, and tonight I plan on taking photos of almost everything the Matchbox Team sent over to make sure those are ready as …

This was posted by collector @south_aussie_hwc15 yesterday on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BdOySSpgyva/?taken-by=south_aussie_hwc15 Shall we analyze? We start with the Honda CRX, looking gorgeous in blue, followed by the Honda CRX with some killer white MC5 rims. That is followed by the Honda CRX with retro-like deco, and the pack is rounded out by both a Honda CRX …
