64Wheels, another excellent review video from you. You're right on the snow plow casting originally being a GMC. The plow was also articulated and could pivot left to right. Not exactly sure when it released but I had one around 1991. Kinda sucks how some of these castings have regressed over time rather than get better.
Thanks - and agree. The casting use to be much better, that’s how I remember it being too. I’m sure it’s to make the cars cheaper overall, but to even knock the brand off it when it’s clearly a GMC is a bit funny/disappointing.
Ugh, and the Lamborghini is the one im most excited for... It seems like mattel STRUGGLES unbelievably so with the Lamborghini scissor doors so much it might aswell just be released on the basics line without it and just be a simple model... Its honestly so infuriating they can't get it right when tomica has a lamborghini diablo sv which has both an active pop up light feature, and SMOOTH scissor doors.
Agree - I don’t know why moving parts in general seem to be a tougher task for Mattel. Even the moving parts on several RLC cars I’ve gotten in the last year had doors that didn’t line up correctly. The RLC Countach and Mercedes 300SL were just okay and still some of each model had closing issues. For this Lambo model in particular, they definitely should have done and opening rear engine bay that allowed the back piece to be totally plastic that could have had the spoiler modeled with a pass-through rather than being solid. Would have fixed the door issue and the rear issue in one move 😢
@@64Wheels Can't wait for you to try and import more tomica premiums sam, i promise you once you got your hands on those, you'd start to wonder why the U.S just couldn't get them things...
Awesome!!!! I have the Matchbox Moving Parts Dodge Ram Ambulance in Red which came on the carboard card with the oval blister. I have some of older GMC snow plow trucks that the plows were positional and were removeable. I've seen the light truck when it had first come out by it self. Also I have the Cat Farm set made by Matchbox that it had the tracked Cat farm tractor with the tracked trailer from 2000 and then later they had the same Cat tracked farm tractor in the Adult Collectable line that they made better with black paint on the cab around the windows and head / marker light tampos also black paint on the exhaust stack which I also got.
Great unboxing of the Matchbox Moving Parts and the Hitch N' Haul sets! Love the Ram Ambulance with full on deco this time and the '78 Bronco! The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is pretty nice to pair up with the '16 Alfa Romeo Gulia!
The Alfa is very good - Matchbox really nailed the dimensions and shape on it! It would be very cool to get an Alfa Dealership as a smaller playset too!
I’m anxious to see the moving parts Celica. What got me into the moving parts was the older Japanese cars they began doing. I have the older Mitsubishi Galant, Subaru Brat, Toyota FJ40 and several others. I agree they really need to rethink the packaging on these. I’m a collector as you know and I typically don’t open mine so I really think that they really need to rethink the packaging. I mean granted they’re only three dollar cars, but I don’t think you should force your customer basis into opening everything if they don’t want to. Like for example I have a lot of the collector sets that I won’t open as I liked the packaging.
The Lambo was definitely a rare Matchbox design fail. Not sure why it’s so bad but it flimsy doesn’t seem to be designed very well - I’m sure it could have been better at a higher price point, but the $3 car leaves a lot to be desired. And those JDM castings have been pretty great - I’m excited to see the convertible RX7 too. I was split on the packaging but after opening a few now, I don’t like them either. I like the box shape and card thickness, but they need a plastic bubble rather than the paper box. I understand the need to use environmentally friendly packaging, but not at the cost of the product…kind of defeats the whole purpose of packaging lol!
@@64Wheels yeah and I'm kind of curious as to how that keeps dust or anything coming in contact with the car considering there is nothing to protect the decals or any of the graphics on the car itself. I looked over two of those Ford broncos before I decided on which one to buy.
The plow truck used to have a removable plow. The salt box was always fixed in place. Furthermore, the original tooling had a salt spreader where the hitch is on the new tooling
5:46 you can push the wheels out at the back of the packaging I don’t know if you figure this out in the end of the video because I just got this part but I decided to comment anyways
the cars are easy to remove if you push on the exposed wheels from behind - and work it back and forth. I like the new packaging because I can re-use it to store the car in it
That works on some cars better than others I’ve found - the ones with the taller tires seem to be harder to release than some of the smaller wheeled vehicles. The ones that get packed too tight seem to be where the issues with the paint rubbing happen.
My favourites are the VW, Bronco and Javelin. In my opinion, I think they should have gone a few steps more and had chrome bumpers on the VW with narrower wheels and smaller diameter wheels on the Javelin and done the headlights and signals. And the Bronco also needed thee headlight done. Just me being picky. I think the could charge a bit extra for those features.
I don’t disagree there - I can enjoy them still without the headlight tampos, but there are several that really need it. I’d be interested in hearing how much two light headlight tampos add to the production cost of the car.
Only two gripes with the farm set. Needed more fence, and I the tractor should've either been the plainer regular generic or the retro 1940's casting-- one they used just doesn't quite look right.
A retro tractor casting would have been cool. I’m still not sure what’s going on with the steer and that little fence other than it being just a hitching post basically.
Some moving parts cars have extra thick paint around the hood joints that make them a little difficult to open, so it’s probably that. I personally haven’t come across one with a broken joint per-say, but some are hard to open for that reason.
If I compare the matchbox moving parts Lamborghini to my Gone In 60 Seconds greenlight collectors edition 1971 Plymouth hemi cuda pink, I would say the Cuda is better
Greenlight cars are definitely more detailed and have more parts than these Matchbox Moving Parts. These are a level underneath full premium so I wouldn’t expect them to be better, but Greenlight is I still much better than Matchbox’s retail Collectors line!!
Hopefully it's just the particular Lamborghini he got, Matchbox released a couple of Centenarios and the doors and paint were perfect.🙂 I'm keeping my fingers crossed for whoever gets them! 🤞
I have most of the new opening part's Bronco 🐎 definitely my favourite why don't you do a DNA test on hair follicle🤣🤣 Great point on quality Matchbox aren't cheap to buy I remember my 70s Matchbox most always have opening part's for no extra cost your right package is ridiculous because I don't open anything dust will get into vehicles 👎🤠🦅⭐⭐
I agree with the packaging hate. Now that I’ve opened a few, it’s just bad. It’s packaging that’s bad at its only job, which is being a protective package for the product. The cars are still worth buying but they need a pretty thorough inspection before buying 😣
I’ve ran into that same issue of the hood/hatch doors not opening but a small bit, rendering them basically useless. Remember when regular cars were metal on metal, rubber tires, and/or moving parts?! Imagine that now they’d be $10 a piece lol.
They do not look if they were made at a matchbox factory I have seen this alott wen you biye matchbox cars trucks are allways blacked out biye plastick
@64Wheels I remembered there was a matchbox, cant remeber the name it was orange with purple windows a crappy orange paint job,and two engines, it was brand new! Took it home excited i invested a piece of my allowance, opened it up, one of the engines fell off! Took it back, got another one told the store man to send it back with a terrible note of poor workmanship, know what he did? He glued it back, and put it in the box 😡
Matchbox needs to lose that red crap!! I hope they wont say covid has something to do with it! You pay good $ for what? Crap! Take the lambo back to where you got it!

One of those trailers came in a farm five pack years back, the blue part was red with mud splatter detailing.

Yeah the foam packaging seems to get stuck on the inner lip of the wheels sometimes too but pushing out the back seems to be the way to go most times.
Those are pretty cool, the new castings are a great addition. Have a great rest of your weekend! 😁👍
I'm very excited for the Lamborghini and the Alfa Romeo

Bro the lanbogini is fire
My 1970 Javelin “sorry if i misspelled it” hardly opens the hood, do i have to press hard or is it a faulty one?
Some moving parts cars have extra thick paint around the hood joints that make them a little difficult to open, so it’s probably that. I personally haven’t come across one with a broken joint per-say, but some are hard to open for that reason.
No bumper problem on my Javelin.
