This is it. My final review of anything from 2024. As of next week, I will be fully focused on the 2025 Matchbox offerings.

I am almost done with Matchbox 2024. This week sees me tackling the last of the premium items, before I finish completely next week. Then it will be on to the 2025 stuff.

It's time to work my way through the last of the Matchbox 2024 Collectors series. This year has seen them come out all on time, and in order. Very nice.

As with the last batch of basics, I have split my Matchbox report into 2 halves. The final batch of 2024 begins now, with the latter half coming in a few weeks.

The last Matchbox Convoy batch of 2024 sees a few new castings. But, this year, it did arrive in time.

Oh wow! How many new Matchbox castings can you throw in a Moving Parts batch? All of them? Wait, one has to go to make way for a Super Chase? I'd rather have the new one. Ha ha!

It is time for me to bring out the rest of the Matchbox L batch of basics to complete the write-up on all 12 models that were released.

It is time for my Top 10 list for 2024. The Matchbox models that have floated my boat the best. There were a lot to choose from, so again I have made 3 lists.

With this being the Christmas week, I thought I would do another dive into my collection of older Matchbox models. Something a little different. Ho ho ho!

With the final batches of the Matchbox 2024 basic range being so large, I am splitting them in 2 for easier blogging (for me). Let's get into the first half of batch L

The final Matchbox Hitch & Haul batch of 2024 sees 2 new looks, as well as a new casting. Plus, we do see a couple of repeats.

This week, I decided to review all of the Matchbox 8-packs that arrived in 2024, as a follow-up to my last multipack blog.

Another batch of basics. Wow! I am working my way through these thick and fast at the moment. With the UK and USA being stuck for a while, the batches have been piling in. This is the 10th batch of the year. 2 more left.

This week, I look at the final Walmart exclusive Matchbox set of 2024. This is the one we get each year with a new casting. I do enjoy those batches.

This week sees me looking at batch J of the 2024 basic range, as well as a straggler that was around in batch H (albeit in small numbers, by the look of it).

This week sees me looking at a couple of the recent Mattel Creation issues, both of which have come from older castings. That means a larger dive back on them.

This week sees batch C of the 2024 Matchbox Working Rigs go under the Tilley microscope.

Time for batch H of the basic range. The 8th batch of the year sees a high count of new castings among the items.

This week sees me tackling the Matchbox items that were created for the latest Matchbox European Convention, in Leipzig, Germany.

This week sees me looking at the 2024 Collectors batch C, now available at Wheel Collectors. 5 models in the batch, and most have something in common.

I can't believe I am almost done with Moving Parts for 2024. There is only 1 more batch to go, and then it will be 2025 for this series.

With the Leipzig models arriving so late for Dirk, I never had a chance to get them before my next report was due. So, they will be up, all being well, next week. In the meantime, how about a dive back into some classic German vehicles?

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, I am looking at the latest European Streets batch of models, as I begin the journey to Leipzig 2024. And there is an auction keeping my company.
