Where's the next batch?; Batch J is the most recent case.....

Aren't we nearing the 'end' of the 'model year'? I realize batch J hasn't reached all parts of the retail world (let alone other earlier cases/batches), but it's been over a month since Batch J started showing up in retailers' stocks....and we still have 3 (?) batches to go before October/November.....at an expected rate of one batch/case per month (12 cases.....A-M with "I" being a non-case designator because it resembles--too much--the number "1" when printed.....)

Any of you 'early adopters' aware of a forthcoming case/batch release?

Not sure what the delay is these days, except the few stores I visit in my area anymore seldom restock even when they are about out of Matchbox.

The latest batch I'd seen was at Big Lots with the batch that contained the green VW Transporter pick up, I looked it up and it seems that is batch G. Haven't seen any of the batch H models yet, and I know I want the police pick up. I guess "J" figures out to be due in August, is that right, if you count batch A as being released in December of the previous year.

Walmarts in my area have already reset, moved the diecast section over a couple of aisles. Same old batch H or earlier models hanging on pegs. I found everything I wanted this year so far, up through batch J, so I'm one lucky collector, I know. But it's been some time since any word of new stocks (other than the camo set and the color changers)...and those have already appeared at TRU too.

Anyway, I guess I should take this lull to get outside and play more......

Mine reset recently as well, but just moved the diecast to the other side of the same aisle.

The store near me stalled at Batch E and has just recently restocked with Batches A and B. :o It was cool though as I found a couple models that I missed the first time around (the Hudson Hornet Police Car and Toyota Tacoma Camper).

My local Wally opened a case of Batch H for me from a pallet a couple nights ago. Last night I found Batch J at a local Meijer store, with one each of the non-licensed models still on the pegs. So I'm finally up to date!

Hey Blair...I am sort of out in your "neck of the woods". I am in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State so will have a chance to look at some Fred Meyers stores for Matchbox - as well as the occasional Wal-Mart and other stores I run across. :wave:
