MATCHBOX - A great addition for 2015 is the 2013 Ford Cargo, unusual and perfectly modelled.


It has been a while since we had a Euro specific tractor unit and again 2015 was the year that we had it, based on the 2013 Ford Cargo, this model is a great addition, and can be used to transport trailers from older versions, which is a nice touch, and a great extra for those that will either play with them or use them for display purposes.

The Six models i have here will be added too over time, as i am sure that Matchbox will release versions with various logo's on the side, or full colour schemes, the wheel choice too is great, as they look the right size for this model.


MATCHBOX - The Porsche Cayman is the start of things to come for the brand, with lots of decent new models.


Over the years, matchbox has slipped in quality and decent product launches, the generic models that they launched became dire, with stupid looking wheeled animals, or buses with a huge wheel set up, awful, just awful, but then, things started to change, very very slowly until last year, when a change at Mattel meant that there would be a new department to deal specifically with matchbox.

I currently have four of these in my collection, and look forward to collecting many more in all the colour schemes that appear over the coming months and years, and i really hope that this is not just a one horse pony trick, and we see it in the one colour only.

This was a master-stroke, the guys in this area, knew what would make matchbox a force to be reckoned with once again, and for 2015 we saw some stunning releases, yes there were some generic models, but the less said about those the better, but we were treated to some amazing cars, This, the Porsche Cayman is one of them, the 2015 model year car, has been models to near perfection, and with the five spoke dark wheels, makes this car stand out as one of the highlights of the year, and there are a lot of those this year.
