Posted: 13 Aug 2015 04:21 PM PDT This batch should get a few of you excited. It has my attention. Of course, for me it all starts with the Toyota 2000GT Roadster. Not because it is a James Bond car, even though that is pretty cool, but because it is a new, and beautiful, Japanese car casting. A must-have for me, and I am sure for many of you. But this batch allows us to go full Hot Wheels classic as well, with the '67 Camaro making an appearance. I am really digging this version. Because the '67 gets used an awful lot, we rarely see a plain version like this one, and it looks fantastic. Finally, not one, but TWO versions of the Back to the Future Delorean. These are not my cup of tea, but I am in the massive minority here, considering how popular these are. Of course, Fast & Furious fans must be happy to have another Charger. I think. |

Just Unveiled: 2015 Matchbox Tesla Model S recolor in Midnight Blue... Posted: 13 Aug 2015 10:30 AM PDT It
has been fun reading all your guesses for my Top 5 Matchbox castings. I won't say at
this point if anyone got all five right - that comes next week with the Top 5
unveiling, but let's just say I am touched that so many of you actually read the
blog. It makes me want to keep writing, which I love to do. But keep those guesses coming. Soon too I want to see what your Top 5 Matchbox models are. And with such an active Matchbox Design Team over at Mattel watching this kind of stuff, I think we can tell them a lot about what models should make an appearance in future lines. Among those guesses, the Matchbox Tesla Model S has been mentioned a lot. And while I will neither confirm nor deny whether or not it is in my Top 5, I can say it would be no surprise if it is. The model is fantastic. And I think most collectors agree with me. The model has fetched high prices on eBay It is what Matchbox has always been, or should have always been about. Great car to replicate, perfectly designed and executed, and beautifully decorated in a realistic color and precise details. This doesn't need to be a chase model to be on everyone's want list. Well, we are happy to report we are going to see it again. The Tesla is being recolored in 2015, this time in dapper Midnight Blue. The Matchbox Team provided this pic for us to admire: It looks great, and might be even more sharp than the red version. We will have to wait and see. All I do know is it already has a place in the collection. Well, all versions of the Tesla will have a place in the collection... Your thoughts? Who is in on the Tesla? |
