I Finally Completed my 2018 Matchbox Collection

  Last year the distribution for Matchbox was terrible in my area. I mean really bad. I was barely able to find the new models that I needed to complete the set. 2 models have eluded me for one whole year. Those models were the 15 Cadillac Escalade and the Oshkosh M-ATV in tan. I never saw that wave at retail like ever. A few years ago Matchbox released an Oshkosh M-ATV in tan but I passed on it when I saw it in Dollar General like an idiot. Oh well. I'm still kicking myself for not buying the Hot Wheels Retro Entertainment Ferrari 250 GTO California when I saw it at Toys R Us. That one I will never get over not buying when I had the chance.

2018 is complete

  No where was I going with this again? Oh yeah, how I got the 2 Matchbox cars I was looking for. Well I acquired them in a trade. This is where buying doubles of cars has sometimes paid off. You see years ago, I started a habit of buying 2 of every Hot Wheels car that was from a movie. I didn't always buy 2, it only started a few years prior. There were several Batmobile's that I never bought 2 of. Anyway, I love the Hot Wheels Isuzu VehiCROSS. I love it so much, that I bought all 3 different ones in silver, yellow and red. I bought 2 of each. One was to open and one was to keep carded. So I had acquired a silver first edition VehiCROSS, Aston Martin DB10 and green Panoz LMP. The person who I traded with couldn't find them in his area, and I couldn't find the Escalade and M-ATV in my area. He also had a Forza AMC Rebel Machine that I wanted. I am a sucker for American Motors cars. So that's how I ended up completing my 2018 Matchbox collection.
