Good to hear confirmation that they will have a premium line back up and running for the next model year. Think if they can keep the prices in the $4 or under range with good features they can compete. |

All info for 2012 will be announced on Sat Nite 7/21 at The Gathering in ABQ N Mex . Until then , only rumors are usually generated. Only 2 weeks more to be patient! Remember the rumors that flew around about the remainder of 2012 issues a few months ago; until Shabbir finally received the true info from MB? Not saying this new enhanced line is a rumor- but 2 weeks more and all will be confirmed! I recognize the extremes MB personnel go to protect info from being released early; having shared a room with 2 different Ambassadors over the years. As they say " Patience is a virtue". |

If tsarlitto says it, I believe him. He's privvy to some things the rest of us aren't thanks to being an online dealer. And this is great news! About time Matchbox got some love! |

This is exciting, especially since Hot Wheels and Matchbox seem to be the same scale now, so they don't look funny next to each other. |

If the enhanced line comes to fruition, I certainly hope there are plenty of "real" cars for the majority of the MBX collectors, but personally I'm holding out hope for an anniversary "enhanced" Cosmic Blues. |

Crazy Matchbox guy

I am hoping this news is something related to dealer sheets being sent out. Often they are privvy to some upcoming releases as their printouts are giving them details of things they can pre-order. This will be good news, as I have been hearing that Mattel are planning something for the 60th Anniversary in 2013. This is likely what that news will be, and there will undoubtedly be more information about the series at the Gathering in a week or so. |

Hi to everyone I read some weeks about about some models could be launched for Matchbox for the next years. There will be for instance several SUV that makes to remember when Matchbox did the Jeep Liberty or BMW X5 some of the models announced for 2013 are: * Hyundai Genesis coupe * BMW M3 * ´74 AMC Gremlin * ´53 Corvette * ´89 Honda Civic CRX * Ford Edge sport * Jeep Compass ( production model) * Ford Escape XLT * Nissan Titan Trophy truck * ´84 Rover 3500 Vitesse I really hope that Matchbox could make those models, will be the renewing and a nice surprise ![]() |

There's been no specifics released as to what exact castings will be used in 2013. We do know their will be a non $1 collector line. Specifics will be announced in about a week for the meeting in New Mexico. I think Dave Weber, Just David and others from the Garage will be in attendance this year. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
If the list is anywhere accurate, there are a few interesting ones worth seeking! On the other side, there are a few I'd trade in for just one classic Euro car. I'd like to see that type selection come back in the mix. |

Without knowing the source of the casting information I'd be extremely hesitant to say that's accurate. It looks more like someone's wish list (actually, between the Gremlin and the Rover...it looks like my wishlist!). It's one thing for an online dealer to post a series in advance- they do get updates direct from the manufacturer long before the general public does. But there's no reason why anyone at Mattel would leak the real list of castings before the Gathering. Now if it came from the T-Hunted blog I'd be tempted to believe it. Normally an accurate source of information (albeit unofficial and not perfect). |
