my first Matchbox Super Chase ever !!!
I agree that mb distribution is wonky, but it paid off today- that UPS truck is still floating around out there… I’ve found 3 of them as power grabs in the past week. I’ve also left that many as well for others…… good luck!
One of my favorite castings and in real life.
As the title says, they did a great job, this is probably the coolest matchbox collectors I've seen/have.
Went for birthday decorations..saw Unopened box at dollar tree. ... employee said it was OK if opened and pegged them. This is my First ever Super Chase!! ..I had actually pegged it..then saw the yellow stripe on the 77 Jag. Was hoping for a UPS truck .. but these are good. I like the 2015 Ridgeline too. Good Karma since earlier today I gave a friend a hotwheel STH and a few TH.
I left my area (and timezone) and benefited by inventory we do not have here. I finally got some skid steers for my planned train set equipment manufacturing plant, as well as several other nice pieces that were hard to find in my area.
I’m convinced this is money laundering. No way people are paying this much right?!
It’s a good week for my 70th anniversary collection. Finally got my hands on the collectors box set, and even found a 70th edition 5 pack.
Even though I’m biased toward Audi wagon castings, the Nismo might be the winner. Great details, livery, and gloss finish.
The GMC wrecker is a favorite from childhood. This is my first new version of the casting revisiting Matchbox as an adult.
As a 90% carded collector of die cast, I very seldom, buy the Matchbox power grabs in the small cardboard boxes. Reasoning for this being that you can't see the castings through the cardboard, and that was a disappointment. Also, because I often found the castings in the power grabs to be quite bland. However, that seems to have changed.
On my last hunting trip, I ran across some power grabs that I hadn't seen before and it peaked my curiosity so I bought a few and I have to say I am completely amazed at the quality and the detail of the castings that came out of those boxes. It has changed my opinion of them forever.
I am posting some pictures of some of the castings that I was able to get a hold of and would like to know what your opinion is.
These things just look fantastic and you can't find these sold as carded castings or in the five car multi packs.
Something else that I noticed on these is that many of them have moving parts like the auto wrecker lowers the boom so that it can actually haul cars and the '74 Ford F-100 has a bed with dumping action so it tilts back and it's just really cool.
I will certainly be paying more attention to the power grabs when I go out on my hunting trips from now on out I can say that much very impressed.
Been looking at Matchbox way more lately. Having better finds with them, and they seem to keep a rolling inventory much better than their market competition.
Been bulk buying from Diecast shops in my area a lot recently and this to me was one of my many steals in the last week. My total was about $250 before the Friendly Face discount 🤣 ended up paying about $4.35 for each casting. Finally got the Ferrari 5 packs and the Ferrari Team Transport 🎉
D.G. find. From last year but it's the first time I've seen it and I need it in my collection. Who else has one?
Was fortunate enough to hit a restock, and I couldn’t believe it when I found one, let alone two.
Was just sitting on a pile it looked like someone had sorted through
Was packing these away in my matchbox box and thought that looks odd..Now its going into a protector.
