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.

This week's report is a simple one. I am showcasing the new promotional Matchbox models that Mattel created for the latest Leipzig European Matchbox Convention.

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 sees me finish off my trek through the 8th batch of the Matchbox basic range for 2025.

Leipzig is incoming. The second major Matchbox convention of the year takes place in Leipzig the first weekend of October, after the US convention in July. As always, Dirk has auctions running in and out. This is what is up going in.

It is time to make a start on the Jurassic World Rebirth Matchbox models. There are 2 batches of basics for 2025, as well as a number of 5-packs. The first half of 5-packs have also been included at the end of this jumbo sized report.

This week I make a start on the 8th batch of the 2025 Matchbox basic range, as there were too many to do in one go again.

I am a little behind on the Collectors series for 2025. Matchbox has 4 batches, and we are well into the second half of the year as I finally bring us batch B.

Wow! Batch E of the 2025 Matchbox Moving Parts series is choc full of new castings. I was not expecting such a selection at the start of the second half. We often see a glut of new castings at the end. And, these are all great models.

Finishing off the rest of the 7th batch of Matchbox basic range models for 2025. Half of these are new castings as well.
