Matchbox Collectors 1970 Datsun 510 Rally - Sale Date Thursday August 15 (Tentative) - All Purpose Topic

I don't like how the plastic block between the wheels is so prominent.  I wish is was darker to help hide it.

Other than that I think it looks really good.

Like most, I would like to see more metal down the line due to the price point but I have to say that this looks amazing.  Paint, decos, detail, really really nice. 

The BMW E30 exceeded my expectations and I think this will also for lovers of Datsun and Matchbox cars 😀

Hey, all!

We're just under an hour out from this sale. Who's planning on adding this MBX vehicle to their collection? 🤩

[Davidstingray]

I scored one.  Fastest check out ever!

I got my 1970 Datsun 510 Rally Team 😎🏁 fastest time ever!

[Deacono]

Had to get one. I have a few of the mainline versions. It looks to cool to pass up 👍

I will get one eventually if still available. Trying to double up on orders to save shipping cost.   Get rid of the box and go to clam shells to lower price please.

The casting details are horrible, and the packaging / display case is even worse.  No rally car would ever have that massive white (plastic) chassis scraping the ground.  Either the photos are low-res, or the decos are terribly pixelated.  I bought the Sapporo a/k/a Plymouth Arrow; the casting was just okay, but the display was awful.  Matchbox is Mattel's B-team.  Sad.

It's terrible.  What even is that?  Look at the back.  Are those supposed to be mud flaps?
