Welcome Bunnrock! Sounds like a question for David Tilley. You can check Davids release schedule that is pinned near the top of the Matchbox Bay here, but it doesn't look like he's added any update for 2015 since December. Personally, I've only seen up to 2014 batch N so far in my area, it looks like batch P and maybe Q are left for me to find for 2014. |

Tilly's list is indeed due for an update....but I found everything on this list today at a local Fred Meyer store. Pics to follow as soon as I can edit them. There was an additional new casting on the pegs with this batch: the "Mountain Mover", a low-profile (underground mining) dump truck thingee that I remember was discussed some time back but for the life of me I can't remember what the actual vehicles are called right at this moment.... |

Okay, after some issues with photobucket (rush hour?), I finally managed to make these somewhat presentable.![]() What I found today (there were some other "new" colors of other vehicles there, but I didn't want them....) Tilly's partial list for Batch A has a few of these mentioned, so I guess this is 2015 Batch A (is that also the same as 2014 Batch Q, as Tilly's posts seem to indicate?). Still no batch P locally....so I'm missing one or two "new" castings or colors from 2014.... A few more detailed photos: ![]() The off-road additions I brought home.... ![]() The "commercial" rigs in the batch ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I like how they incorporated the Matchbox logo into the dump canopy.... ![]() Looks like it means business... ![]() Of course, my main raison d'etre.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And it seems like only a few weeks ago I found this in blue (it was....only a few weeks ago) ![]() ![]()

Did this seem a little bit boastful, to you? I couldn't help it. I was so surprised to find these, especially since it was Fred Meyer....not Walmart, Kmart, Target, Shopko, etc. Still full pegs of older batches behind these in the store....but I only stopped into that store because it was on the way to different store. It was fate....I'm sure of it!

That red Silverado is a surprise. I hope to find this one instead of the blue one. One of the Dollar Generals in my area (this one was the smallest one, but likely the busiest in my area) still has the batch containing the Drill Dozer and the F-350 stake bed that everyone has been stocking since Christmas. |

Boastful? Not really, in my opinion. We all do that here sometimes! As you have said, Fred Meyer usually stocks some older stuff. Occasionally I have found some new stuff there, but I stop by if I'm missing a few models from a certain batch that has been released a little while ago. |

Crazy Matchbox guy

Yeah sorry about that. I started updating on Wednesday at work, and then.... errr.... work got in the way. I got sidetracked for the rest of the day and then plum forgot. Anyway, I have finally updated my list with batch B. There were 4 models in batch A and 11 in batch B (15 have been released so far). |

Thanks for the pics Blair! And thanks for the updates David! Guess I'll be finally buying one of those ALL Terrain Cranes after all, since this one is in the INC paint scheme. Edited by Douglas, Jan 25 2015, 07:32 PM.

Thanks David....I was aware that there are folks who still work for a living (like you) so I am just happy you were able to complete those updates. I now see what I found must be Batch B......with it's expected few 'stragglers' or fillers from previous batches.... One good thing about my finds....I have what I want from Batch A and B.....so one trip filled both batches in my collection. Now to find 2014 Batch P and/or Q....though there are only a couple of models in either of those I want. |

Jerry, unless there's been an announcement I missed, I have no knowledge that MB is doing a Gremlin this year. Here's 18 of the 25 new castings which were announced last July. http://lamleydlm.blogspot.com/2014/07/july-22-matchbox-ambassador-report-by.html |

Got bored yesterday and went on my old rounds (about a 50 mile round trip) to visit some towns west of me. Went to 8 stores (2 Walmarts, Target, Shopko, Kmart, Winco Foods, Hastings (book/video store that carries limited diecast), and Fred Meyer). Found a couple 2015 HW (Ford F-150 and red Lotus Esprit) at the first store--WM #1; nothing anywhere else until the last store--Fred Meyer, where I found 2014 Batch P Matchbox. So, as seems to be my undeserved good fortune, I have filled all my collecting objectives for 2014 and have gotten off to a good start on 2015. I truly hope the rest of you find everything you want. |

Yikes! I found a Walmart with lots of Matchbox on the pegs - now they were not the current or more recent releases but they were from lasts year - it was the batch with the Marshall police car.
