Well dollar tree came through again. WalMart has been getting new cases but the matchbox g case was skipped. But some where I read that dollar tree was getting them. So I went and looked. Scored. I found them at several stores and got my white alfo 's. Now I'm caught up. So if your looking for new matchbox here is another source.

Yep, I've found that G batch at a couple of DTs this week that seemed to have skipped it while others got it a week or two ago.

Still waiting to see if any local stores get batch H in stock. Think I have everything I want from that batch except the VW Transporter with cargo/tools in the back....and I've never seen the red Food Truck or the Dirtstroyer. Funny how I often find myself wanting to see an OLDER CASE show up in stores....but every year I believe at least ONE case never makes it to local stores. (I gather, from reading these forums the past couple years, some of you miss MORE than ONE case a year....I do empathize with you and wish everyone who collects this brand would be able to find everything they want every year!)

I'm trying to stop whining about not finding things I want......especially seeing how many of us rarely find new stock in their stores.

Almost any time I post about lack of product I soon find everything up to that date in some local store. I hope that some of my posts about certain branches of chains having empty pegs for literally months are helpful if any of the Matchbox team still reads this forum (what with instagram and their other chosen platforms).

I still get surprised that certain models aren't as difficult to find on pegs around here, as I expected them to be. Case in point: I thought the Dodge Ram police in the "National Parks" livery would be a quick seller....but I've seen several of them in stores in the past few days. (Perhaps if it was in a licensed livery--US Forest Service or US National Park Service--it would sell faster?) (I assume it will appear in licensed police departments in the future.....it think it has a long potential life in the line.)

The VW Transporter? Not so much. I expected the VW to be hard to find, and so far that's coming true. But then, Batch H is still 'missing' from here, and J only showed up at one Walmart and the other WMs are already almost sold out of K.

It is nice to see more and more current models showing up at places like Dollar Tree and Wal Mart. It has been fun to walk in a store and actually find new items on the pegs to buy and bring home. :D

FWIW, in general its about time for Christmas stock to start appearing, so things *should* pick up everywhere.

My opinion, your mileage may vary.
