In what has become somewhat of a tradition, Hot Wheels showed off a lot of rather underwhelming and uninteresting models during their sneak preview slideshow at the Convention last Saturday, leaving me with a feeling of disappointment. Then, as seems to happen every year, pictures of the prototype boards started to appear online about an... Continue Reading →
While there isn’t a ton of new information in this week’s sneaks from the @matchboxworld Instagram, there was one model significant enough to warrant a news post all on its own: the 1990 Honda Accord.

If you’re anything like me, the annual Matchbox line preview is the highlight of your diecast year. I was happy to see 3 more of the cars from my Matchbox wishlist were checked off this year! This preview had a noticeable shift back toward construction and emergency vehicles, but there were still some cool performance... Continue Reading →

With little diecast to be found in stores, it's nice to see some new sneaks of what's coming soon to... Continue Reading →

It’s easy to get a bit bored during this time, so I’m glad Matchbox dropped some heat for us to get excited over! The most exciting car in these sneaks... 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 →
