In this Matchbox case unboxing video, the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe makes it's debut and the International CXT returns after a long absense.
Bonus content!
I showed a couple colors from the history of the Matchbox International CXT. While that model has returned, it had a cost-reducing casting change a few years ago.
I showed three colors of Bay Brigade and it does have a metal roof. That's it. OK, the axles too =P
In USA Walmart stores (and in some other countries), there was a special Chevrolet Trucks, 100 Years set. I showed all six models including the '47 Chevy AD 3100, '70 Chevy El Camino, Chevy K1500, '14 Chevy Silverado, '02 Chevy Avalanche, '75 Chevy Stepside. Since the Avalanche was in that set, I showed a few previous colors including pink, pewter, green and muddy. Hot Wheels had an Avalanche as well and it was in the Blings series.
I opened up these:
'75 Chevy Stepside and showed how the casting has changed compared to a previous green "the garage" release. Mattel seems to have taken a graphics cue from Jon's truck from the CHiP's TV show!
ARV-01 is apparently a new name for Armored Recon Vehicle. It was called Armored Police Truck in the past as well. It has a moving feature! Did the newest version lose that feature?
Badlander makes it's first appearance in the Matchbox singles assortment! I showed a Power Grabs version as well. Previously, it was only used with playsets or 5-packs.
Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is brand new to Matchbox. I opened it up and also showed the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
Motorcycles! There's a brand new Matchbox bike to the line-up, the Yamaha SCR 950. While it's a cool model, realistic and accurate, it doesn't have a necessary 'toy' feature that is found in the BMW R1200 RT-P Police, BMW R1200 GS nor the Hot Wheels Honda Monkey Z50.
Base Code: L07 (produced 7th week of 2018)
There were 16 licensed models in this 24-count factory sealed case. Matchbox continues their assortment of adventuristic models and fans of Matchbox models still enjoy the play value as they create their own adventures with these fun toys. The non-licensed models, known as Matchbox Originals, are focused on "realism" and are "realistic" for fantasy and imaginative play time. There are many Matchbox cars, trucks and other vehicles to enjoy.
