This week's Matchbox blog report sees me returning to the USA Walmart exclusives (which can be found in other stores in other countries), for the 3rd batch of the year. Super Cars!

This week's Matchbox report makes a start on the 7th basic range batch of 2026, which means we are now over half the way through the model year.

With a certain movie coming out in the next few months, Matchbox have been putting out a range of movie related models. These are the first ones I will review, being the Moving Parts sub-set of models.

As I have mentioned a few times, the batches for the 2026 Matchbox basic range have gone slightly out of alignment. We are now up to the 6th batch of 2026, which is actually designated as batch G on outer packaging. It is not the biggest of batches, so I am able to run through the entire set in one go.

This week's Matchbox blog report sees me running through the third Moving Parts batch of 2026. A small group of only 5 models. But, still a joy to get. I am a big Moving Parts fan.

This week sees me finishing the large batch of 15 models that made up the 5th mix of the 2026 Matchbox basic range. 9 appeared under the E moniker, but then the other 6 were swiftly added, and they altered the packaging to say F.

This week's Matchbox blog report takes us on a journey through the second batch of Working Rigs for 2026. With only 5 models, and not much to dive back, I added in another mini dive of classic models.

This week's Matchbox blog report brings us the first half of a large 5th batch of 2026 basic range models. Is it batch E?

Batch B of the Matchbox 2026 Moving Parts series is supposed to have a Super Chase. It was scheduled. However, it has proven to be almost impossible to find. Nobody seems to have it. It took me a while to hunt down a single example, the only one I have seen. Which means, I am able to run through the entire batch.

This week's Matchbox report continues on with the second half of the 4th batch of 2026 basic range models, including the latest Super Chase. Still no Target Red. Hmm! I added a little bonus dive as it was short.

This week's Matchbox report sees me running through the second batch of the 2026 Collectors series. This is a heavy batch.

This week sees me make a start on the 4th batch of the 2026 Matchbox basic range. It is just 5 models long, as the batch consists of 10 in total.

Registration for the 2026 Matchbox European Convention is about to commence.

This week's Matchbox blog article sees me checking out the 2nd of 6 planned Walmart exclusive sets. MBX Rally III features 5 new looks, no carry forwards. I am loving 2026!

The second half of batch C of the 2026 basic range is not very long. So I had a little nose into my Matchbox collection and pulled out a classic to run through in addition to the new items.

This week's Matchbox blog is showcasing the first batch of 2026 Candy models. However, with yet another small report, I went the extra mile this week, and dived deep back.

This week's Matchbox blog is a fairly short one, as I have a look at the first half of batch C of the 2026 basic range.

In this week's Matchbox blog, I have a look at the first batch of 2026 Working Rigs. But, as it was so short, I dug out a few classics to pad my report out.

It is time to run down the second half of batch B of the 2026 Matchbox basic range. Except for a lack of a Target model. They have been a little slow in coming.

This week, I return to the items that Wheel Collectors sent over. This time, it is the first batch of the 2026 Collectors series, which does include a surprise.

This week sees me tackle the first half of the second batch of Matchbox basic range models. There were 10 in the batch, so it just went over my limit for doing them all in one go. It makes for a shorter report. But, as last week was shorter as well, it sort of fits in.

This week, my Matchbox Monday article showcases the first Walmart exclusive (in the USA, other countries may have them in other stores). For 2026, Matchbox appears to have really stepped up their exclusives game.

The second half of the first batch of 2026 basic range models is the subject of this week's Matchbox blog. And this includes all the new castings that debuted in this batch.

I think that the first batch of the Matchbox 2026 Moving Parts series is possibly my favourite batch of the year. So much good stuff in it. I can't wait to see if they can prove me wrong.
