Love you to join us all Tyrone be awesome even just showing Aussie cars, as I know you got some beauties, as all welcome builders as well as collectors, cheers AMBs (KC) 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🇦🇺😎🙂👍✌🏁
Your definitely not wrong, 2005-2010 is the best era of matchbox! It’s astonishing to me that they created all those metal chaises and never used them again. I have to say, matchbox is in another golden age right now!
I'm 60 and love looking at these great diecasts. I definitely collected Matchbox,Hot Wheels,Corgi and other toy vehicles. I had a Corgi Whizzwheels car of a model I'd never heard of. It had three letters,like BMW. I forget the letters. I think it also came with a key, but I never figured out what to do with it. I also had a Corgi that came with a clear plastic garage. Great memories.
While the latest releases are more detailed, my favourite era would be the 1970's - Superfast wheels, opening parts, suspension and metal bases and my favourite was always No.27 Mercedes-Benz 230SL.
Nice choice! I remember the older Superfast castings. They were also some of my top castings made. The suspension made them more "real" and more interesting to race. There have been some hideous castings made, but as odd as some Matchbox were, I still love the look, the wheels, all of it.
We all have that one casting that pulls the heart strings, Richard. It makes us completely addicted to this wonderful hobby, my friend. Yeah, and they didn’t even shout about the opening parts back then…they just gave them to us. 🤷♂️🤭
Greetings Tyrone, more eye candy than I think we deserve so early in the new year 😆 I picked up that Sierra today in a local fleamarket in Milnerton, a local market overlooking Table mountain. Unfortunately today it gave a good view of our buildings of parliament on fire, the home of our democracy. This comes days after the beloved Archbishop Desmond Tutu passed away, leaving a whole city in mourning. The Sierra will now always remind of him👍❤🇿🇦
Rikus, your city is not having a good run of it! Archbishop Desmond Tutu is synonymous with freedom and human dignity. Australians would refer to him as ‘a great bloke.’ The Sierra could do a lot worse than be forever linked to him. 🤷♂️🍻🦘👍
Great selection of cars, T. Good to see some fire engines in this grouping. A hearse ? That's something you don't see in diecast much. My favourite MB era ? Probably the 70s & 80s. Thanks T. 👍🇦🇺 👨🚒
Beautiful selection of even more beautiful mbx cars. Love the yellow Karmann Ghia, the Chevelle convertible, the Caddys... And I gotta get me a Jungle Crawler. I have seen a real one, that was used as a promotion car for Red Bull a couple of years back. Loved it.
The Jungle Crawler would have been fun to see! I visited the Red Bull museum in Salzburg (unbelievably) almost 12 years ago. The vehicles they had even back then were really impressive. 😍
Nice, nice vid!! Choices and memories. Lime Jag, XJK Jag, GMC stepside, 1st fire truck, and the Zephyr, are my favorites here. I have 90's matchbox cars in a stash that I really need to review. Thanks a bunch!!
Every video I watch that you post, your likes or the castings you feature are cars I love. When you presented your "perfect" cars, @ about 1:30 or so you NAILED them! But while I agree 99.99% the red Jaguar you showed right before you started your favorites is my top casting. I had an old Corgi I think it was a Corgi. It was a odd color, like a shiny light red or even pink? But it had great suspension and a crazy look. Again I can't remember if it was a Corgi, I was like 7yrs old. I've since lost all my toys from my childhood. Many were given away, lost, or just tossed. Two things I wish I still had, my 1977 Star Wars and my die-cast collections. So many crazy Matchbox models. They may not have all been as "fast" as Hot Wheels, but they were a treat to have and to play with as a kid. Even now I love seeing the classic look of my Matchbox race down my 6-lane Raceway. One thing, the gold Trans-Am or Firebird you showed again around the 1:35 mark that is also a tip 5 casting. I would love to look at your entire collection, and hear your thoughts on them. Your views, opinions, and thoughts on die-cast, especially Matchbox is perfect. Your dedication to the hobby is always a welcome view. Thanks again sir. Happy New Year! Maybe 2022 my stores will start stocking Matchbox again. Hopefully!
The Corgi you seek is out there, Edster III. That’s the thing that drives us forward in this hobby. I received a gift today of old Majorette castings that simply floored me. 40 year old memories flooding back like I’m a kid again. There is something incredibly healing in these little cars.
Incredible collection of fantastic models. One thing I believe is that Matchbox has really upped it's game. The Fire Truck and the Military Trucks are really great 👍 A Very Happy New Year to you and your family Bro, God Bless You All Always 🙏
9:47 "stunning" You took the words right out of my mouth but that also goes for many of these. Thank you for showing off to us, T 😜 Much appreciated 👍 Happy 2022
Lots of beautiful looking models there Tyrone I like all the ages of Matchbox I'm like you wish they did more metal bases but for me my favourite time period of Matchbox which I think is the best is the 1970s 👍👍👍
IMHO the sweet spot series in the modern era of matchbox. Full simple detailing , the heft that only a metal base can provide and good looking wheels choices. Yes I know they’re plastic but they suit the castings to a T. Besides matchbox ‘ real riders’ wheels are atrocious. So many coveted models here, some that are hard to find n some that are really pricey. Anyway thanks for the showcase n happy collecting in 2022 !
Great show Tyrone! I was salivating with all these great castings. My MBX collection is miniscule by comparison, but I do love the Lesney Editions and the new "Collectors" series as well. I think for models targeting the adult collector they should return to the metal bases and price them accordingly. The "Collectors" series should strive to be on the level of Auto World or at least Johnny Lightning. That Cougar at 10:34 is awesome! So many great castings!
And here he is again, the die-cast crazy old man with the crutch from the North Sea. Too late, as usual...😜😁 Here on the North Sea shore it's now five o'clock in the morning and I've just woken up. What else can you do when the rain is beating on your window? 🤔😁 Well... Which era is the best? Good question... I'm excited about the classics, but to be honest, today's models are a lot more detailed and actually already no longer toys, but collectors' items. My personal favourite is and remains of course the ALVIS STALWART (no matter in which version). Oh yes... Thanks for zooming in on the KINGSWOOD UTE with the motorbikes. I'd have to lie if I said it wasn't as much of a favourite as the STALWART. So it's hard to decide between the 60s/70s and today. Sports cars, military vehicles, off-roaders, UTEs/pick-ups, trucks, every single one of today's MB models is a little work of art. (It's a good thing that such beauties didn't exist when I was a child. I would be furious if I thought about how we played with them in the sandbox back then...😱😁) Great show T, I'm thrilled. A great start to the new die-cast year...😎👍🏼 Definitely a thumbs up from me 👍🏼 Thank you so much for sharing. Stay safe and sound and keep up the good work mate 😁🤣 Greetings from the first cup of coffee.... Uhh nah wait a minute.... From the rainy North Sea shore. 😎👍🏼☘️🇦🇺✌🏼🇩🇪☘️👍🏼🤠☕
Oh, to be sure…the things we did to our poor little cars when we first had them! 🤭 If I want to hear the beautiful sound of rain on my window, I need to ask the wife to stand out there with the garden hose. 😂 Mid 30s here today but warming up for the rest of the week. 😎 🍻🦘👍🇦🇺😎☀️🏖
Wasn't there a full-metal Porsche 914 in one of those series? I remember Lamely showing it off when there was a similar plastic chassis version in a later Special Edition series. I never saw that series in stores in Ottawa. If we're talking about my favourite era of Matchbox that I like to find at thrift stores/charity shops, I'm kind of split between early Superfast, and even pre-Superfast, for the vintage look (I prefer the Superfast wheels) and the 1980s, not as vintage but still largely full-metal and with proper tampo treatment that usually isn't "loud" like some of those mid-top-late 1970s cars from when Matchbox just started putting tampos on the cars.
I like most of the effort that Matchbox is putting forth but I don't like those wide modern wheels that they're putting on the cars I'd like to see them go back to the narrow Wheels like the older ones had
Thx enjoyed some of those models again! I am a bit older than you, and my pick for the best Matchbox car (mainline, cheapo) would be the Rolls Royce Super Shadow from the 60s with the boot as moving part. The Cabrio version of that is also beautiful. Take care subscribed!

Brings back memories as I collected some of these over the years. Thank you!!!
Love the way some toy's bring back floods of memories. Have an awesome day! From HWFAH (home of the Monster Truck Front Flip)

Good points, well made MM! 🦘👍🍻
What a trip down memory lane. I had a few of them as a kid back in the 1980s. I hope they are still around somewhere. Maybe in a box in the basement.
Thanks for sharing Tyrone, some fantastic castings there from all eras
Thanks, Karl. 🦘👍

Thanks, Toni. I’m glad this video hit the spot. 🦘👍
Excellent choices all. I was not aware of the Lesney Editions until now, they are amazing. My old time favorite is the RR at the beginning.
I’m afraid I may have just made your wish list even longer, deepcutdr. Sorry, my friend! 😂🦘👍
Great selection of cars, T.
