Popped into Smyths today, there's a new set out but only one that interested me

I also found these which I'd been hunting for

I’d love the black and red bug as a standard car 😎

I do have a spare monster bug that I intend to make or adapt a base onto to make it a normal car. Problem is the body is not shared with anything so it's not a straight swap.
Didn't stop me with the Dodge Charger though

One to look out for, not many details yet but should be in the mainline

Tesco have the latest Matchbox case in

This is the best one though, looks like a Campaign edition

Lexus, civic and mk1 are superb! I never see matchbox stuff here

 

[RubyRed]

Found these in ASDA today...

oh and i also never seem to find Matchbox stuff

 

[bunglebus]

Matchbox supply to Tesco is very patchy. I wish they'd open it up to more shops.

I did get this as well, FOC as I had Clubcard vouchers

I also bought a spare MK1 so I could wheel swap and detail it. Shame my tame 3D wheel guy doesn't do Pirelli P slots yet!

My sister stuck a scratchcard in my birthday card, I popped into the newsagents to collect my winnings on the way to the toy fair and they had just filled the pegs with new releases. This shop never has anything!

There are a lot...

Recolour of the Mighty K

Another recolour, Porsche 935 looks very JPS

Don't think the blue/orange works quite as well as the black did

New release, James Bond tie-in

This one hasn't been released for a while

Strong drift vibes MX-5

Another recolour. Mattel shied away from the actual name of the real car this is modeled on...

New casting

I've got a spare one of these in my customising box to play with

Hot Wheels Big-Air Bel-Air by RS, on Flickr

Another one modeled on a real car, owned by the designer. This is one of my favourite Hot Wheels castings

Lots of Chevies in the current lineup

I think this is a '71 Dodge Charger...

Another new casting, clearly a mid '60s Chevy but just named Layin' Lowrider

Like the gold chromework on La Troca

Another new casting, a generic but some strong 50s race car vibes from Glory Chaser. Another one going in the customising box

I do like a wagon

That new Matchbox Capri has been really hard to find - as far as I can tell Tesco never got the case with the silver one, I had to buy mine off AliExpress. The yellow one has made it into stores but it got snapped up in seconds (!). I got that one from another forum, guy found one in Scotland and posted it to me

Morrisons had a new case today of hotwheels in today. There was one silver capri card in the back of the shelf with an empty bubble.
Picked up the red variation of the tooned mk1 golf though.

This one's been a little hard to track down, I saw one weeks ago with a tatty card so I left it - found this one hiding behind some 5 packs in Smyths

Here are my purchases from the last couple of months. Really struggling to find anything good, but glad I found both the 55's.
