  5. Thumbs down Things you don't like about the 2010 range?

    Everyone seems fairly positive and upbeat around here about the current releases except for maybe the availability of some models. Can I ask however, are there any things that you don't like about this year's ranges? For me there's a few. Not a big fan of Super Convoys. I prefered the regular...

  8. Thumbs up Things you like about the 2010 range?

    I think 2010 has been a great year for collecting Matchbox. Here are a few reasons about why I think this: 1. Distribution in Australia has significantly improved compared to how things were this time last year 2. The Holden Ute being part of the 2010 range. This is one model I'm eagerly...

  12. 2010 #9 Dodge Magnum Style Change

    Looks like the packaging got mixed up again at Mattel. I did not notice the error until I was boxing the car away, as I file by number. Wonder how many left the plant this way? Came from Batch J. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/Keith1950/2010MB100DodgeSkidster.jpg

    It was an absolute pleasure to meet Everett last month at the Gathering, and he was gracious enough to let me donate to his charity without destroying his event with my horrific golf game.

    Ok.....someone educate me. Understandably, the first batch is Batch A..... But I noticed in 2010, we used two letters--Batch J/Batch V.... Someone explain to me the point of calling out J and V. Why did we continue the letter sequence that began in 2009? Why not go Batch M and just start fresh...

    Like the Classic Car Tournament we did in May (won by the Cadillac Ambulance over the Vista Cruiser), it is time to look at the recent sports car castings. As before, 2010 is not included, and I am only using castings from the last 5 years. These are the cars that you would likely see on Top...
