After a torturous few weeks with almost no new Matchbox models to drool over, we finally saw a bunch of exciting recolors and even a couple new models! Not only did we get a parking lot full of sneaks from the Matchboxworld Instagram – we also saw the upcoming 2024 5 packs with a number... Continue Reading →
I’ve been able to resist it for so long. The Redline Club has always seemed like more of a pain than it’s worth to me, with limited edition drops that sell out in seconds and the rather offensive demand that you pay to even have the privilege of missing out on a drop. Add in... Continue Reading →
Without a doubt, this week’s biggest news is the redesign of the Moving Parts packaging, but we also saw a seemingly-finished version of the Collectors series Subaru BRZ and some new mainline recolors.

Another year and another Gathering has passed, which means a slew of new Matchbox models to get excited about! Overall, this year’s preview didn’t have quite as many exciting models as last year, but there’s definitely still some interesting cars here.

I missed last week’s news segment, so there’s a ton to cover from the world of Matchbox. Let’s jump right in! First up is a new Chevy Tahoe in the Moving Parts line. It’s wonderful to see an updated Tahoe in the lineup, and black is the perfect color to debut this model in. I... Continue Reading →
After over a month of no major Matchbox sneaks, the Matchbox team finally previewed some upcoming recolors and a couple new models! The sneak that I find most exciting is this Chevy Blazer EV. Of course, if you’d asked me whether I wanted a Blazer in the Matchbox line, I would have looked at you... Continue Reading →
Well what do you know, it seems Matchbox is planning a bit of a comeback for the Convoy line. After the line disappeared from both Walmart and Target in the US, I figured this line was done for, but the most recent sneaks on the Matchbox Instagram suggest there’s some great stuff in store! Technically,... Continue Reading →
Matchbox just dropped some amazing new sneaks in their Friday Instagram post, including quite a few recolors we’ve never seen before. Let’s jump right in!

There haven’t been too many new Matchbox sneaks in a while, but we finally saw a few new ones courtesy of the matchboxworld Instagram.

This post is based on the premium/car culture sneaks shown in a recent Lamley video, so if you haven’t watched that yet, go check it out. Let’s jump right in with my favorite model shown, the Cayman GT4! Given Porsche’s huge following among car and diecast enthusiasts, I’ve always been perplexed by the lack of... Continue Reading →
The final mix of 2022 hasn’t even hit stores yet, but that hasn’t stopped Matchbox from sneaking the first mix of 2023 on their Instagram, and it looks great! As the company has previously mentioned, they will be including carry-forward vehicles in each of their 13 mixes for 2023. Naturally, collectors have expressed concern that... Continue Reading →
Matchbox has started to release sneaks from the 2023 line, and they aren’t holding back! First up is Matchbox’s highly anticipated take on the Koenigsegg Gemera. Obviously, this is a casting that was already attempted by Hot Wheels, but I found the Hot Wheels version to be too narrow and tall. The result was a... Continue Reading →
As the dust begins to settle on this year’s Matchbox line preview, I’m left with a feeling of optimism for the future of the brand.

Matchbox sneaks and news have been fairly slow for the last few weeks, but enough information has slowly trickled out to justify another news update. Hopefully, our patience will be rewarded in just a few weeks at The Gathering 2022, when we should get a full preview of what models are coming for the 2023... Continue Reading →

Matchbox dropped some very exciting sneaks in the last couple weeks, so let’s jump right in. First up is the Cadillac... Continue Reading →
Matchbox’s new 5-packs have been spotted in the wild, and they look to be some of the best ones of 2022. First up is the “City Drivers” pack, which appears to feature all new decos, making it an obvious buy for Matchbox fans. It features a Chrysler 300C with a clean blue paint job, a...

The Hot Wheels Collector Nationals in Charlotte are this week, and perhaps the most exciting news so far is of the upcoming Car Culture mix.
