Matchbox Collector

Well, 2012 is coming near an end, with only around 30 models left of the 125 lined-up for this year to be released. We must plow through some of these, well, lets be honest, not the greatest time for collectors. So, with high hopes for the last 2012 models and the 2013 ones to come (and hopefully a poster too..... ) which one are you looking forward to the most? Can't choose just one, it doesn't matter! You can post multiple models that really strike you!Without further ado, here's mine: ![]() The BMW 1 Series M Coupe. I could NOT believe that Matchbox slated this model as one of these new ones, because this was one I wished for. And that's never really happened to me before. This was a somewhat hard decision thought, because of this: ![]() THE most stylish Range Rover ever, the Evoque, designed by Mrs. Beckham. I was ecstatic and surprised when I found this would slide onto the pegs in 2013. But when I thought about it, I shouldn't have been surprised, considering Matchbox has done nearly ever Range Rover model ever. Here's the 2013 New Models list - which is your favorite? Licensed: '66 Dodge A100 Truck VW Karman Ghia Type 34 (UK version) Lamborghini Italian Police Renault Ambulance BMW M1 Sports Coupe Range Rover Evoque BMW R 1200 Motorcycle International Harvester Scout II (Off Road) International MXT Generic: Fire Tanker European Fire Truck Police Truck Fire Pumper Police Truck All Terrain Crane Grader Dump Truck Submarine Pickup Truck with opening parts Convertible Sports Sedan Coupe 4x4 Explorer |

The IH Scout, by a wide margin. For a $1 item, my hopes are kinda high for it. |

I know JL just did a very nice Scout, and Matchbox already has a lifted Bronco and Blazer both... but I have to give the nod to the International. I've always liked those and while it's a shame it's not going to be a stock ride height I have high hopes for it anyway! |

Yeah, i know. If you actually read my post, you would see the part that I typed says BMW 1 Series M Coupe, and the list of 2013 New Models says BMW M1 because I copied that from another site, cause I didn't feel like re-writing the whole list. I probably know my cars as much as any other enthusiast like myself..... |

So far, seems like the International Scout II, the 66 Dodge a100 Pick-up, and the BMW I series M Coupe are the most popular! Surprised no one else liked the Evoque... For some reason, it won't let me edit the original post. So, ***EDIT*** The International MXT was not added to the list. Edited by mbx64, Aug 25 2012, 02:39 PM.

I'd say the ones below are what I'd be interested in first. Not sure what the generic Sports Sedan, Coupe, and Convertible will be, so have to hold judgement. The A100 and Submarine capture my interest first. The Italian ambulance too,as I've been emergency vehicle buying of late. Fire trucks because I like them,too.

Edited in for you. There's an edit window of approximately 24 hours. We had some people abusing the edit function years ago so the feature was restricted to a one day limit. |

From what I've seen the A-100 is to be the pickup version. |

Hotwheels has an A100 van out in their Musician series now, Ozzie Osborne or Kiss or ? It's lowered, too, doesn't do a thing for me. Jerry |

I think the Renault Ambulance will end up being my favorite new casting for 2013. Not a real exciting year, for me, as far as new castings go, but plenty will see their way home with me, and I am sure the re-colors of existing castings will be enticing. |

I really hope that when are well recovered Matchbox for 2014, they finally can made a Ford Cortina Mk III, that is a car really wanted in that scale. Besides the very few brands who made that Cortina was decades ago and very toyish and very hard to find. We need urgently a well done easy to get Cortina Mk III ( 4 doors sedan of course) |

I am a bit of a BMW fan, and when I saw the real BMW 1M I knew I would have loved to see it in miniature. That is easily the biggest new casting for me in terms of anticipation. Of course, as with many generics, the final look of a model may want me to desire it more. Like the Cliff Hanger and Scrambulance that have been made recently, if the look is what I like I will want it more. |

As an emergency vehicle collector I am looking forward to the Renault Ambulance (hoping it will have Euro type graphics) and the other various emergency vehicles. I can live with the generics as long as they look like a real vehicle. |

I can almost assure you that it will. I know it will have European type graphics for several reasons. One being that we have the Ford E-350 Ambulance for American designs. Secondly, we've been seeing a lot more of European/foreign liveries on police cars. The 2013 Matchbox BMW Motorcycle from the ambassador report, the 2012 Matchbox Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Police, and the fact that the Subaru Impreza Police was brought back in the line. (Thank god those licensing issues were resolved! ) Also, I don't think Matchbox would be stupid enough (pardon my language) to bring in a European Spec Ambulance and only put on American designs. That would be ludicrous!!!

Wait! WHAT?!?!? They took an Australian Only car and put AMERICAN Police designs on it?!? Well, I do remember The Matchbox Team saying that there would be more foreign and European liveries on emergency vehicles, but now that I think about it, there hasn't even been ONE foreign/European Emergency Vehicle design for the 2012 line-up.
