Lamley Unboxing: Matchbox Power Grabs 2018 Mix M

[@edubachi]

Wonderful! It reminds me the Matchbox I bought when I was a kid in the 70's.

[@acen2000]

Mattel distribution of Matchbox and Hot Wheels to the UK is terrible in general. We miss out on so much you guys get regular. If your reading this Mattel, there are thousands of collectors in England. We are fed up continuous empty pegs, shelves and no Hot Wheels dump bins. On a lighter note, great video as usual thank you👍

[@luisrecabarren8899]

I have most of the original lesneys and some of the superfast models. My parents started buying them for me in 1967. The new ones are awesome.

[@victorvance2573]

You´re collecting since 1967? You must have a huge collection by now (if you still do it).

[@AFigmentOfYourImaginationseses]

I will always appreciate these as an alternate method to display diecast. I've only ever seen one Hudson Hornet for sale in NC and it was in a Toys R Us low on a shelf in one of these boxes tucked back behind a few others in the case. It was one of my best finds in the wild.

[@notsry1905]

probaly one of the best 2018 power grabs

[@diecasttvchannel]

I really like the new artwork on the MBX Power Grab boxes (and on the cards). The stores here tend to charge $1 extra for Power Grabs compared to regular blister cards, but sometimes you only see a vehicle in one of the packaging types so you have to buy whichever form you can find ; )

[@hellisio]

I wish Matchbox would switch to their old school boxes, or the Tomica ones. The fact that these can't be closed back on their own is a real bummer for me.

[@Anth230]

I agree. I have no idea why they won't make them like that. I stay away from them for this exact reason.

[@MeenakshiDutta-cu5vi]

I mean they'll actually resemble a matchbox... You know..m

[@lewishancock3526]

I'm guessing the boxes in the Best of Matchbox and Globe Trotters lines don't close on their own either?🤔

[@Anth230]

@@lewishancock3526 No they close I believe.

[@lewishancock3526]

@@Anth230 I meant *fully* closed, as in the model not falling out when the box is being moved and/or shaken about.

[@charleswhims1478]

These are nice in the boxes. The pallet scalpers will get all the good ones in my area.

[@carcrasher88YT]

You mention cutting open the tape, but I find it easier to just peel the tape on one side of the corner and then keep it there to reseal afterwards. The tape peels off rather easily. I've got over a dozen Power Grab boxes that have intact tape holding them shut, even without the cars in them. The cars that were in them...are currently on display.

[@acalthu]

You can peel back the tape very carefully and reseal it. That's what I've done with all my powergrabs, it just takes 5 more seconds of patience to open it.

[@carcrasher88YT]

Same here. I have a nice neat stack of re-sealed empty boxes, since I displayed the models inside.

[@JohnSTF72]

Never seen a Matchbox case of "Power Grabs" before (these are not sold in my country). These little boxes look nice with the new artwork and If they were re-sealable as well, they'd be ideal recreations of Matchbox's past. BTW the outside case box mentions that it has 48 pieces in total. Thanks for the presentation.

[@ericmcginnis2097]

I nees that carded '63 austin healy roadster that u showed briefly!

[@christtking894]

Is there a difference between these boxes and the cards with blisters? Are they the same models? I've heard that the boxes are for the European market and the card ones for the North American market. I find both versions here in the US

[@bodarville7860]

I have actually found most of my new release matchbox cars at Dollar Tree this year.

[@quincyq-radio6300]

Amazing Matchbox 👍💖

[@ascars5588]

Super thanks for this 😉👍

[@ecf766]

I've been thinking about ordering from A&J TOYS. They have the one prior to this. With Xterra nissan, and others included. Any thoughts?

[@dragbusdave]

Saw these in a super Kroger the other day but unfortunately the Audi was goners but I did p/u several carded RS6's at the next stop which just happened to be a Walmart. Really wish it had been the 1994 but yeah I know stuff happens.. did you ever hear if a 94 could be in our future? Oh when are we gonna get a preview on those C-case assortment team transports? That mix is bonkers!

[@chunlenglim6086]

Lamely group how you get all THIS!!!!😱😱😱😱😱so COOOOOOOOOOOL

[@jeep2003]

Very nice I still havnt found the Austin in stores. Would be cool to see a premium version of that someday.

[@michaelrzeszuto777]

Awesome! Could you please let me know what stores the bigger Matchbox's (roll back,fire truck) are sold? I live in the Albany NY area and haven't seen them around. Thank you. Big fan.

[@carcrasher88YT]

Working Rigs? They've shown up at Walmarts around and have gone just about as fast as they've shown up. Trying to remember which one I saw them in most recently.

[@michaelrzeszuto777]

carcrasher88YT thank you, living on fixed income can only get to the stores once a month if I'm lucky. But still enjoy collecting when I can.

[@briandubbeld5665]

My area is hit and miss . With these are some of hardest to find .

[@stevedingman3753]

Nice they sent these to you, would be better to see them sent to retailers. Everything here is a year old at best...

[@scholesysscaleschematics2445]

Can I have the other case please John, we never see power grabs in the U.K.

[@puppykieron8826]

SCAR - Scholesy yeah we never get any good matchboxes. That new case we won't get until feburary

[@puppykieron8826]

True yeah that's a good point

[@lewishancock3526]

You may find the odd Power Grab on Ebay sometimes for slightly than reasonable prices.

[@kylerawks10]

I haven’t been getting the latest mbx lately. I’ve only been ordering them on ebay

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

Walmart Canada has definitely been bringing these into their stores instead of ordering more cars that are in plastic blisters

[@618trex]

Do you sell any of the cars provided to you from Mattel? I've been on the hunt for the Austin healey roadster, the ranchero and Junior pickup!

[@Hondapilot333]

I would prefer the diamond t pickup and the mgb coupe

[@AccaAcca]

why the matchbox models are not sold in Italy? :-(

[@filmcarsmodelth]

*Matchbox has a king of america toys ever*

[@fernandomurray1404]

One of my friends bought a power grab matchbox GULF FORD RAPTOR，but it turns out，it is not GULF！but rather a lamley`s leaks tire service with theblue body，orange chassis，and white wheels. What`s that?

[@handywijaya3689]

Looks like an American version of Tomica but way more complicated.Doesn't like opening that plastic stuff,hate to tear it up before enjoying the fun inside the box.Sad it doesn't sold here in Indonesia remembering we are the highest market in the world for 1/60 diecast.We've even bring Jun Imai to us all the way from US last week on November 3-4 to a local toy expo in Jakarta.Mattel and other diecast brand such as NOREV and Welly to sold their products here faster before they fail to catch up with local resellers

[@Hondapilot333]

As for the 1994 Audi Avant RS2, you couldn't tell the difference if its a rs6 or an rs2

[@jessicalatex2539]

Kmart in australia does not stock any matchbox cars or products only hot wheels.. Some supermarkets stock both matchbox and hot wheels cars.. Target does stock some but not as many pegs as hot wheels gets... Big W which is a little like a walmart has a certain amount of matchbox mainlines and multipacks.. Toy shops are really the only stores that stock the boxed matchbox cars.. and a lot of old school toy stores have gone by the wayside because of online shopping and big department stores..

[@jrsdiecastcars1595]

Nice I will have to keep my eyes open for them

[@notsry1905]

i'm not a huge fan of matchbox but these are some great models

[@gilval808]

I haven't even seen the older boxes yet. I Know it ain't Mattel that's doing that it's the stinking scalpers again .

[@notsry1905]

you have a great youtube channel

[@danbi2000]

So far i only seen the older power grabs in singapore but we will get more soon

[@lcdcars5528]

Hoping to find some of these!

[@chunlenglim6086]

I wish i got the boxes pack like you lamely group.............i like the boxes model

[@TheMasterNo6]

I never see Matchbox in UK shops thesedays. Distribution is shit. I blame Asda in the UK taking exclusive distribution of them. Why do they call the line "Power Grabs?" Are they blind bagged/boxed?

[@ecf766]

I am so confused. 1 months ago I called Matchbox people , them some HR lady answered the phone. Well, next thing I heard, it was that power grabs are not supposed to be FOR sale in the United States. I told her I found at Kmart in York and Walmart in Connecticut. Bottom line is: "They" have no idea what they talking about. I know more about then they do. This video only proves that I'm right ! Power grabs are for sale in the United States for sure!🇺🇸

[@davevallettasr.9443]

I'd like to find some. I live in Ct also

[@abbiravindhran8424]

we have them in Canada, really nice... (but with old artwork)

[@ericmcginnis2097]

Bumber i still need the austin healey and the red ranchero
