Matchbox: An Old Case From The Pile

[@racegrooves]

That's why I like to show some old stuff too. It is like a trip down memory lane for many viewers.

[@DeaKen002]

I remember a few of those from my childhood. Looks like majorette are being sold in the UK again. Had to pick up the all metal Renault Twingo, Renault senic with opening boot, Fiat panda and 500 and a toyota hilux with tow bar, most of them have suspension, the same design as the redlines, speaking of which ive just added the Merc 280sl to my torero and splitting image. Thanks Mark for sparking my interest in this fantastic hobby, my little sister is having a blast too.

[@racegrooves]

Yes, some MB's can go into Power Tower as well.

[@racegrooves]

Thank for letting me know that they are lights on the Power Truck.

[@racegrooves]

I have been collecting since 1998 but I definitely slowed down in the early 2000's as well. I don't buy every release anymore of any brand. The cases that you see me buy, I normally wouldn't be doing that but because of the success of the Channel, I can afford them and I can let my viewers know about new cars coming soon.

[@racegrooves]

Thanks Dave!

[@racegrooves]

Thanks! I'm going to have to look to see if I have a loose one already and check out the Mack Power Truck and the rotating lights on top =)

[@racegrooves]

Yes, the Ferrari has very smooth lines. Quite a nice piece!

[@racegrooves]

Thanks!

[@racegrooves]

@pfstories I have them stored at home. I built an addition for them.

[@racegrooves]

That's nice that you're finding Majorette's again in the UK! It is an affordable hobby and it is nice to hear that you and your sister are having fun =)

[@racegrooves]

It is widely believed that yellowing blisters is caused by a bad batch of plastic. There were a lot of them around 2002 or so in the Hot Wheels line. It's strange though because you can have the same two models and one of them will have a bad blister and the other will be perfect.

[@racegrooves]

Thankx4Watching!!!

[@racegrooves]

Oh, there you are!

[@racegrooves]

I just checked eBay for Matchbox Troop Carrier (because that is the name on the base 5:31) and a couple of other colors are on eBay and they look familiar so I may have more than just this one Trouble Tracker/Troop Carrier.

[@racegrooves]

The Trouble Tracker 5:31 is a pretty cool model! I checked eBay and there were at least two colors released.

[@racegrooves]

5:53 correct, the features can be pulled up and even rotated. I did a follow-up video called Matchbox Shout-Outs, Orange Hot Cases Follow-Up and showed how the features work. I also posted a comment right now so if you check my Feed, you may find the video easier.

[@racegrooves]

Yeah, the tanks are pretty cool =)

[@tortoisetom1]

I love the King Tow at 8:50.Matchbox has some pretty cool models and some of the stuff that is out now is pretty nice too.Thanks for another great video.

[@pajerofan22]

i lovvvvvve old matchbox

[@GrimGunRenegade]

Awesome models, tanks are best!

[@racegrooves]

That's cool that you have the Cement Truck! 6:34

[@racegrooves]

Me too =)

[@racegrooves]

I checked eBay and it looks like the Robot Truck 8:00 is often packed facing to the right. All the ones like this release plus another release, all facing to the right. I didn't go back and look at the Ferrari though.

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for watching =)

[@racegrooves]

Yes, I have at least six. Four on the card, two came in the playset. The playset contained the 3-Window '34 and the Delivery Truck. Search eBay for the carded ones. Just use Hot Wheels Snap-0n for your keywords.

[@racegrooves]

As always, Thanks for watching =)

[@ucwepn]

I went through my collection a few months back and I found lots of cars i forgot about, I was heavily collecting from about 2000-2004 then stopped for a few years so it was very interesting to have a look back, found a final run dodge daytona but they brought that back this year haha, good video

[@racegrooves]

I read all comments but I didn't notice that a viewer had told me that the spotlights pop up and down. Now I have to go into my Jammers and check out an older one that I have loose =)

[@TheMrMooMooCow]

awesome racegrooves!

[@racegrooves]

Thanks Dave! The Hot Cases are a pretty bright orange! They look cool next to my green and my blue ones =)

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for watching!

[@racegrooves]

I checked eBay and it looks like the Robot Truck 8:00 is often packed facing to the right. All the ones like this release plus another release, all facing to the right.

[@racegrooves]

Me too! After I did the video, I went to eBay to see what other King Tow Trucks were released 8:50 The Sellers want some bucks for those!

[@racegrooves]

You're going to have to decide if you want to collect them anymore. You could always pay to have them shipped to you but that could get expensive.

[@pajerofan22]

I like the dodge viper. I just picked up the new yellow and black matchbox one from walmart yesterday

[@lsfer012]

Interesting models, I liked the ford coupe and did not know those tanks! I hope soon to get some

[@racegrooves]

Thanks =)

[@hashrulsubzero]

Thanks for the historic car show

[@racegrooves]

4:16 It has an opening hood! Thanks for the explanation of the lights on the Power truck.

[@racegrooves]

When you asked, they do pop open and also you can lift the stick up, I am not sure what you mean. Leave a time marker if you are talking about something in the video. As an example, if something is at the 1:00 mark that you want me to see, put 1:00 in your comment.

[@racegrooves]

No, MB does not have Treasure Hunts. I talks about it in my Matchbox Skidster And Matchbox Treasure Hunts video. You can search for that video or you can check my Feed. I just posted a comment on it so it should be in my Feed.

[@racegrooves]

MB should soon be returning to more collector-friendly offerings such as real cars!

[@btracing]

Absolutely love the 456 GT (I'm a Ferrari nut), beautiful detail!

[@1014Siebert]

The silver things on the Mack Auxillary Power Truck are spotlights and they move up and down and side to side!!

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for pointing out to MartinTheMan16 that the package said Moving Parts =)

[@TheHeathersphere]

they do pop open and also you can lift the stick up

[@racegrooves]

You get them from the HotCases website =)

[@racegrooves]

Yeah, the tanks are pretty cool ;) 8:25

[@racegrooves]

We all get busy from time to time =)

[@hotwheels878]

Ok. Thank you!

[@racegrooves]

The dunebuggy is so that you can drive on the sandy beach =)

[@racegrooves]

Correct. I have people asking for free cars and I have to tell them to not ask for free cars. I make entertaining videos for the viewer's enjoyment. People also want to trade or buy my cars. I do not sell or trade. I should be spending my time making videos and responding to comments. These cars are from my collection. They may also be used in future videos. If I have any extras I donate them to charity in my area (Los Angeles, California). Thanks for asking =)

[@finnAndrei]

I've got that Police Trouble Tracker too but i don't have the pop-off part anymore

[@wert13d]

I love the Matchbox cars you shown. Very NICE!!!! :)

[@tavewadon]

the Auxiliary Power Truck on the roof are search lights that fold up

[@racegrooves]

I store all of my cars at home.

[@racegrooves]

You're welcome. =)

[@SuperMAC0608]

They do have Matchbox RESCUE 911 vehicles from the classic tv show RESCUE 911, which used to come on CBS.

[@hornbyman4474]

[@epictheepicguy]

[@yinyinkong2559]

cattle truck is very nice

[@smallsnipe]

Those are amazing!! You Should try customizing the London taxi's with the Olympics logo and maybe put an American flag on the top. That would be soo cool!

[@MedigoFlameX]

Nice video, thanks for sharing more of your collection. Picked up one of those Ferrari 456 GTs at a flea market, wish they made one of the rare versions of the real life car. (Which would be the wagon and sedan body style, which are rare one-off versions of the 456) If those were made in diecast form, I'd love to buy those! Especially the wagon. ;)

[@BoardFrogZero]

Top vid. Great MB stuff. Wow you really have some nice stuff racegrooves. Thanx for sharing.

[@dragbusdave]

Hey Mark awesome video! I am glad to see the NEW orange MB style hot cases! I had heard about them but haven't seen them til you showed this one. All the older MB were fun to check out and I think I like the cow truck complete with 2 cows LOL the best. Thanks for sharing some of your old matchbox.

[@tavewadon]

the robot truck when the side door opens is there a tracked robot vehicle inside

[@racegrooves]

tavewadon Yeah, I found that out this year when I opened one up. He's in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4iclGyCj7iZpa8

[@racegrooves]

The website is called HotCases, you know, dot, you know...

[@AKFilmsStopmotion]

because of the opening door

[@martintheman16]

Where did you get that orange case. The car at 4:16. Does it have an opening hood? The power truck is a mack light truck. Those are lights that are used on calls for fire fighters to light and area up. Nice cars. Thanks for showing them.

[@CrackerJaxx70]

ENJOYED!!! Thanx4Sharing!!!

[@1Liltemp]

Very nice, love the vids of cars I know I will never have...Lol

[@martintheman16]

[@LEGOStudios9083]

I love vw beetles!

[@Siim.K]

wohooo!!!!

[@racegrooves]

OOPS! Sorry, I didn't see that I had thanked you already =)

[@SteveBrandon]

Oh, I wish I could find that Volkswagen New Beetle at a Value Village thrift store. I'm assembling a case of cars with large manufacturer tampos but I still need a VW. (Well, I have that yellow Hot Wheels Speed Machines Scirocco 24 with the VW tampo on the roof but I have that one in a hatchback case with its green Speed Machines R-Line tampo Scirocco 24 brother & I'd hate to separate them.) I think I do have that particular Ferrari 456... I miss the days when Mattel still made 1/64 Ferraris under the Matchbox label, though they might not even be able to do Ferraris under the Hot Wheels label anymore unless they're going to get a Ferrari sublicense through May Cheong.

[@thatkidonyoutube4290]

Will you ever do a video of the hero city 20 pack
