2021 Matchbox

[HomerS]

There is some impressive stuff coming out next year.....Plymouth Savoy, Chevy Nova, Buick Skylark.....but one not listed shows up at the 40 minute mark!  That will be my holy grail!!

As much as I like them, I can't ever find anything new and good locally, so I've given up on buying MB.   I gave up on HW a while back - just not realistic enough.  I did buy a few AutoWorlds and Greenlights a couple weeks ago, but they have to come from the net too.  Glad they are still plugging away at new models.

Agreed!  Hot Wheels has gone with the weird designs to get around license fees with manufacturers....and when they do replicate a real car, it has the oversized rear wheels (COPO Camaro, Hellcat Challenger, etc).  Retail outlets have a poor selection of Matchboxes so I go kinda overboard at the quarterly toy show with a vendor out of TN.  Big fan of the Greenlight and M2's but the store employee exclusives (aka chase variants) ruin any chance of completing sets.

You can have all the chase cars I might ever find.   IT just ruins the car with white tires, all red, etc.   With my lack of luck and drive to beat the employee friends and employees, I may as well just order online and be done with it.
