Hey friends, Just a heads up that info is starting to roll in for the next Ambassador Report. I have the full list of 24(+1) models in the upcoming 60th Anniversary line, and look for sneak peaks of some of those models as well. Hopefully it keeps you satisfied is we close out 2012 and jump into 2013... One other note. If you have any questions for the Mattel team regarding anything Matchbox related, please send your questions to me. My job is to serve as the liaison between collectors and the Matchbox team, and I promise to forward those questions on. The team does not have time to answer each collector individually, and that is why the Ambassador position was created. That goes for all kinds of topics, including product mixes and weightings. If Mattel can answer the question, they will through the Ambassador. There are many ways to contact me. Through PM here, through the Lamley Group blog and FB page, or by email at lamleygroup@gmail.com. I am shooting for late Monday/early Tuesday Mountain Standard Time. See you then... |

I got some of the images tonight, and a few more tomorrow. That means it will be a few days to put the whole thing together. But note, this report will be brought to you by the number 60:![]() ![]() ![]()

Uh-oh. Big 60th anniversary tampos on the cars themselves? As "collector pieces"? I see shelfwarming Mopar anniversary M2s in every Walmart I visit. I predicted it, and was chastised for it. I hope the same will not be the case with these. Mattel already has a bad enough reputation of cancelling series prematurely, and I would hate to see slow sales kill these off before they are all released. |

or as Scooby would say, "Ruh-Row" Maybe the anniversary tampo is only on a few cars, or maybe on the chase cars? We'll learn soon enough. |

Well they look like a load of old rubbish if they have a 60th on them.They are not getting a penny out of me with a load of dross. For kiddies,stop putting silly tampos on them.

Matchbox Collector

IT IS!!!! And I can tell quite easily that the bottom picture is of the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO Police. FULL TAMPOES BABY!!!! Oh, and the picture second from the bottom is a Cadillac. If you look closely, in the signature Cadillac cursive, you can see the word 'Cadillac' in cursive in silver under the 60th Anniversary logo. Wonder if it's the CTS Coupe or Wagon, or the DeVille......(Hope it's the Coupe! )

When I said 'IT IS!!!!!' I was referring to when he said 'It looks like a '69 Camaro.' I was NOT referring to the fact that it would be a 'chase' model. there will be only one chase model in the entire 60th Anniversary Collector Line. |

Because it builds anticipation. In an age of instant gratification I actually prefer the teasers and the secrets. There was a time fifteen years ago I walked into a store and was surprised to see the latest releases. I had no idea what castings I would find waiting for me when I got to the pegs. Nowadays I know precisely what's coming out months ahead of time whether it be Matchbox, Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, M2, GreenLight, or almost any other brand. But I was the guy who always ended book reports in school with 'But if you want to find out how it ends, you'll have to read the book.' |
