Walter, I’m with you! I know a lot of folks that just collect hot wheels, but Matchbox is awesome. You still get a $1.00 car but lots of offerings that you don’t get from Hot Wheels. I don’t collect all their stuff because the scale is sometimes off. But the Porsches, McLarens, old pickups, Chargers etc are 🔥! Don’t skip the Matchbox guys. Plus moving parts are awesome!
1:32 scale diecast collector here, what a coincidence just yesterday I decided to look up the history of matchbox and here you are making a video about matchbox, you rock!!!
I totally love that you are featuring Matchbox because I recently just picked up some of these and they are so sweet! For the longest time I was just strictly Hot Wheels but Matchbox has really stepped up their game in the last couple years and I just can't seem to leave them sitting on the pegs LOL
I found the old Matchbox Lesney Mercedes 230 SL number 27 at the Yogi toy show. It was released from 1966 with regular wheels till 1972 with super fast wheels. Just had to buy it so Lesney and Mattel Mercedes 230 could hang out together And maybe go for a short cruise too. Great video 🎉😂😊
Great show Walter. I show Matchbox love all the time. I just picked up a set of six convertibles at Walmart last weekend. There all American made cars from over the years. Then I picked up #8 & #10 in the Matchbox Collectors series at my local grocery store. Now I need to pick up some more storage cases. I’ve been weeding out all the fantasy cars from my cases to make room for the realistic cars until I get more to put them in. Collectors problems. No worries. Thanks for sharing and have a good day sir.
i love how understated they are. loving the ford fiesta, can't wait for the m2. found 3 superchase audi r8 just as they restocked at tesco this week so super happy :)
Appreciate ya Walter. New to channel and new to collecting as of may 2024. The content is on point , informal , and encouraging. Thanks again for giving us a place to get real authentic information 🤜🏼🤛🏻🫡
I agree about the super chase needing to be celebrated more than super treasure hunts. I RARELY see them. I haven’t seen one since February. Matchbox usually impresses me more than hotwheels with their basic line. Your channel actually got me paying attention to matchbox. Good video, my dude. Take care.
Hey Hey Walter, Killer MB finds and MB info today ! I'm a Diecast fan and don't really show any brand favoritism . I see something I like ? I buy and if I can get two, so I can open one I will. Today I was lucky and found a MB moving parts Boone County Sheriff 2018 dodge durango with the K9 in the back. I really dig the easter eggs in diecast, just can't get enough. 😂 I have never seen a Matchbox Super chase in the wild, never knew they existed until a couple years ago a fellow collector told me about them. I also found a second HW #103 Boulevard Porsche 964 in that teal color so I can finally open one up. Love that casting with the white stripes and rims. As always thanks for letting me ride along and have a good one ! 🤘✌
Oso's entrance today was fantastic lol I'm mostly a Hot Wheels collector but I definitely pick up a few matchbox I picked up a few today actually. Man I love your tank and Bradley LOL I actually like the Gemera better in matchbox than Hot Wheels. Although I still like hot wheels wheels and tires better. Matchbox definitely stepping up their card art. I actually drooled a little bit when you showed that matchbox Chase Porsche. I'm not against your idea of the super chases being a little nicer than the super treasures definitely like that lineup they have. That's my philosophy in the hobby I'm a loose collector if I keep it on car that means it's for sale. Has a Hot Wheels collector thanks for giving matchbox some love I really been enjoying them this past year and a half definitely making me stretch my boundaries. Thanks for all the info Walter great show and production.
Thanks Snoop! Great video Walter, good insights and knowledge delivered in a laid back and relaxing style. Love these Matchbox castings as much as you do and mine certainly gets opened. Dig your wild animals. Respect brother 🏁🇿🇦
Walter, You are the "Matchbox Man"! Matchbox is coming of age!!! Hot Wheels has always been Cool! Now Matchbox is just as Cool!!! 😎 "Matchbox Moving Forward"!!! 👍👍👍
I buy MB cases online. In the Boston area the waves usually show up much later and in small quantities. I collect all kinds of diecast, but MB was where I started
I only really get em at dollar tree, and Publix oddly enough tends to get a lot of the different 5 packs in. I've found the Ford GT Super Chase, but really I just like em because even though the cases are small, there's often some really nice and interesting /unique cars in there that give me some fun in the downtimes between Hot Wheels. One seemingly basic one that is so beautiful in person that I found, was the Infiniti QX80. It's just a big dumb SUV... but you see that thing in person, with the really glittery paint and the clear windows and brown interior, with so much detail in the tampos, and it's actually impressive how nice it is. Another in the same case, the Morgan Plus Four is really pretty and a kind of car you rarely see in Hot Wheels. I'm excited for the 2025 cases to start dropping because the card art is such a huge improvement and I'm mostly a carded collector.
I found so many of the Bronco and Corvette, but the Black & Orange ones were really hard to find. Only found the 32 Ford Pickup and a couple of Porsche 911
@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 You know it! Side bar, I went in today and purchased the RLC sELECTIONs R34 today, and I was like “HOW IS THIS NOT SOLD OUT? I got it!” After purchase I see it’s December of 2025 for delivery! That means my wife and I could conceive our next child tonight, and even after it was born I would still have to wait another 3 months for that delivery. Smh
I have to get that AMC Eagle wagon! Brings back memories. First crash was in my dad's silver 83 AMC eagle wagon, second crash was in my dad's gold 86 AMC eagle wagon, third crash was in my dad's mid 80's dark blue AMC eagle wagon, fourth crash was in my red and black 81 AMC eagle SX/4.
I need that Moving parts Century! It’s sick. I picked up that Porsche 911 SuperChase, when it came out. That BMW CSL looked like it had a SC stamp on it… it may be a new Chase as well. I appreciate the finish of the Matchbox cars. Thanks as always!
Glad to see your collection of matchboxes I too collect matchboxes and they have some nice ones coming out they are stepping up and better than hot wheels. Thanks for showing your collection
Great Video as always & I think matchbox super chases are underrated & I'm grabbing up as many as I can afford because there's definitely less super chases made than the super treasure hunt......
Matchbox typically is more "ti scale" & typically closer to actual cars you can see in real life. Hot Wheels have some radical designs that would never see any public road.
Your average MBX for details and the tampos we *really* want, those are gonna outshine the average HW every day. I don't believe the MBX wheels themselves get enough recognition in the hobby as we immediately at this scale get a better sense of the sidewall of the tyres even the sport or luxury rims. On the classic rims, the sidewall is totally there, no doubts. Ever since the blackwall era of HW ended, it's like every street car is rolling on extreme lo-pros, which gets old no matter how many new wheel types they produce. Maybe if HW would shave off a millimeter from the rims, let us see or at least sense, emotionally, a little more rubber Oh, and that Festiva, that's the car I learned manual shifting in. . .yeah, I gotta little age on me
Yea, I think theres some really nice mb wheels that outshine hw mainlines. I dont collect as much mb because theres less that appeal to me. But I love the classic mb wheels like on the old 30s-60s cars, the ones that look like they have a chrome hub cap. Also recently I was looking at the new 2023 white supra with the bronze wheels, man those are sweet! Just look at them and you can see there a huge step above a hw mainline wheel. Mb has came a long way since the 90s as far as details like that. Although I really miss the "superfast" wheels and the exaggerated muscle cars they came on.
@@Chris_Hood 😄 That's funny, crazy how the timing in life is sometimes. I happen to have that supra on my desk in my diecast room currently😅. Been there a week since I opened it.
I've been trying to collect all the Super Chase cars. Some have I have found some and some are hard to find. That MP Grand Pix is expensive on the ebay. I was lucky to find two of the Range Rovers at my Walmart.
The Art Work for 2025 Matchbox is So Good, So Glad They Went Back To The Better Art Work On The Card Art, Reminiscent to the 2019-2020. The 2023-2024 Art Work Just Wasnt Doing it For Me at all in my opinion.
Hate how some of my friends hate matchbox cuz it’s not hot wheels, me personally, idc the brand, jsut want what I like. Not a fan of Jada cuz I think they are usually a little off, but matchbox, hot wheels, pink slips I think it’s call, we got options boys
@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 ...yeah I can fill up every room in the house depending on how many rooms I have. Hahaha 👀 😆 ... I'm thinking of building more rooms and paying for storage 🤔 & Refy the house. Time to fill my truck with $100 bucks worth of gas to look for every toy car ever made. Just be careful not to go broke. FYI...yi yi yi.
Matchbox blows the Hotwheels models away - much better detail DollarTree and 5&below are loaded with MB’s - they even have short carded ones at DollarTree
MB 230SL is just a rehash of orig #27 matchbox 230sl, seems a bit lazy TBH. Mattel having center posts in their cars seems REALLY CHEAP like some Maisto level stuff. vintage era HW + MB never had big posts in the interior of their diecast cars. sub-par execution. refuse to buy any that are so equipped.

Definitely gotta give matchbox some play. They're earning it

I show Matchbox love regularly. They definitely have my respect. Also, I love how Oso says hello in your videos, what a good pal
Definitely my dude. 🐕
Dude, I love your animals! The detail on that Fiesta is incredible.
Thank you, and agreed on mk2
Appreciate the Matchbox love. That first Mercedes was sweet. Thank you sir!

I feel like they care differently
I think one of the things I love most about Matchbox is the moving parts line.
They also are more realistic in the details for basic cars.
They absolutely are. The wheels are always open to discussion though

There's an appeal to matchbox that other brands don't have

The OG of diecast
Hot wheels owns matchbox
Incorrect. Mattel owns Matchbox, they also own Hot Wheels.
I only really get em at dollar tree, and Publix oddly enough tends to get a lot of the different 5 packs in.

Lucky to find the Porsches. Nice!
I collect both myself , Mattel finally has stepped up the Matchbox Game !!
They sure have. Plenty to get excited about.
Thanks Walter for letting us know about that Century, so VIP. Had a more difficult time finding mbx I wanted this year..
Matchbox is ascending to greatness
Those Matchbox Super Chase are uber hard to find... 💯💯💯
I know the feeling. I've been on the hunt!

Walter nice video yes matchbox is starting to hit it out of the park with their car. Keep up the amazing videos 👍
Thanks, Chris! Appreciate ya
Matchbox is where its at in terms of beautiful realistic car castings. Some vintage Lensley love.
Agreed!
Just got my first Matchbox cars in many years a few days ago, the BMW Police Bike and a Tootsie Roll deco H2 for my mom lol.
Nice! The candy series is pretty cool
Great Video as always & I think matchbox super chases are underrated & I'm grabbing up as many as I can afford because there's definitely less super chases made than the super treasure hunt......

Options. 😊
I would argue MBX Super Chases are even harder to find than the Hotwheels Super Treasure Hunts!
I absolutely think they are harder to find.
How much money should I spend everyday & for how long? Kinda makes no sense if we are extreme collectors.
Idk. Whatever is in your budget, I guess

The wheels have been thenissue for sometime now
What’s good Walter . Great show !

Matchbox are the best in mainline compare to hotwheels, much mots mature
