DAR1988 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Been lots of neat matchbox the last couple years. I buy a few year but not as many as I would like. There are some nice convention/toy fair pieces out there of matchbox. We don't see metal chassis Matchbox on store shelves like we do Hot Wheels. Would be neat to see a club similar to RLC that could showcase such models? Would there be enough interest?? Thoughts.. Quote
BUSTILLOS Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Would be nice but I don`t think it would be allowed on this site. Quote

RABBIT15 Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 I'd like to see a premium Matchbox line similar to car culture (metal/metal, real riders) at retail. A club would be cool too but I'm sure that the "fanbase" is there. The level of enthusiasm of Hot Wheels collectors is unmatched (at least in the USA). 2 Quote
Tasmanian Devil Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Nice idea, but I don't think it'll happen. There used to be a Matchbox collectors website similar to HWC but Matchbox closed it down due to lack of participation. 1 Quote sELECTIONs addict ... if you don't vote, don't complain about the result
BUSTILLOS Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Yes HOTWHEL COLLECTORS out number MATCHBOX COLLECTORS but Matchbox does have some cool castings mostly work related , especially older castings. Quote

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like collecting has grown since I first started 5 years ago. Plus matchbox has really changed in the last five years.? Quote

I would love a premium set like car culture. They have made some strides with opening features line and they have their version of haulers. But still plastic bases. There are several Matchbox pieces I would love to see in metal/metal. 1 Quote
