Yes, it's the Sentra. I've now corrected my message.



I've got the Gladiator in lime green, in red and now in black. Not a big seller over here, even in bright colors. I wonder why.

It's interesting that licensed side by side ATVs have become a theme at Matchbox. Polaris, Yamaha, Kawasaki... I'm warming to them.



We never got the 2022 batches with the yellow & white Kadett. I only found one in Germany. The orange one is new, from batches made in February. I don't know if you know the batch codes system at Mattel, but there's one printed on the base of each model, with a letter (year) and two numerals (week). Right now, the most recent batch we have is S07, the seventh week of 2023, so mid-February.

Are you sure they are Versa and not Sentra ? Or maybe they're offering both ?
I can't wait to get my hands on a Sentra ( i can't believe they did the model either... )

I got the 3000GT in black , the Gladiator in some lime green metallic but missed the Polaris ( i saw it, mixed it with the RZR then when i went back it was gone ) . I also got that road roller but in yellow ( looks more like " official " construction vehicle.. ) i i just want the local Walmart to get rid of the green ones, there is way too much of them in the boxes, shelves..

Also got the Matchbox's version of the Mustang Mach-E , just looks so much better than its Hot Wheels counterpart ..

got the Kadett too but mine is yellow/white ( i have to check if i got the orange too ) and a Renault Megane ( i linked the offer instead of the pic to illustrate how liars internet sellers can be, there is a box at my local Walmart where i can pull out a bunch of these in less than two minutes so they're not that rare.. )

Here's my latest Matchbox haul.

There should have been others, including an orange Opel Kadett coupé, but they were probably already gone when I visited Action (the dutch discount giant is THE place to get new Matchbox at good prices). However, that new batch included more of the slow selling Nissan Sentra, among others. But it could be worse. Some branches are stuck with these...

i'm going in the opposite lane.. I want that Pontiac !

I bought another one tonight at a different Target, this time a gold 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix From Auto World:

I haven't seen that AMC Eagle wagon or the Lincoln Mark V. I think I need those too!

I know it makes no sense but i still buy them ( but now limited to road vehicles only , concept and occasional race cars have to come from a real manufacturer , even if i let a few Matchbox designs slip away ) .

I'm running out of place , i know i should have stopped a long time ago but then i remember the 10-12 years hiatus when i did not brought back a single one and how i feel about the ones i missed during those times..

I think i'm more a hoarder than a collector now ..

Nice indeed
I'm always hesitating when I see these matchbox models (or majorette also here), but as I mostly collect 1:43, onlytthese are displayed, the smaller scales are stored in boxes so buying more of theses make no sense.

These are awesome, Baube!

Finally got my hands on the 1980 AMC Eagle .. . I've been checking over and over at Walmart since i saw they came out , only to get them at the dollar store ..

Also got my first ever Tucker , i wanted one for a long time....

Another make that i'm happy to find, classic NYC taxi

I don't have many AMC so apart of the Eagle, i got maybe one of the most popular Pacer

Probably the strangest Aston Martin i can think of..

Have a Hot Wheels one but i just couldn't resist that Chevelle

Just realize they're called 340 Special .. i wonder what was the Special, i paid full price ! ..

I don't have much Lincoln either ( a 1985-1987 Town Car , Matchbox and a Navigator , honestly i have to dig to find it if i have one ) so i wanted this one or this one but ended up with another one ..

Got also Cooter's tow truck and my first ever unmarked General Lee ( still looks strange without all the markings.. )

Missed my shot on a non-General Lee Charger .. maybe next time..

I got really close to buy the Impala but it was a blue one with white top, now that i know it is of the lowrider series it will stay there . I also wanted a metallic green 1967 Chevelle but i was already having more than i should buy in my hands ( including a 1984 Dodge Caravan , they are supposed to have its Plymouth twin around this summer )
