Er zullen zeker enige presentatie's gehouden worden, maar welke dat houden we nog even geheim. Matchbox will celebrate at 28 October their 10 year jubilee! We will have special code 2 MB75 and code 2 Convoy models for the members. Furthermore you can lay your hand on a MOY cap! Come and see us at the show! Although the main goal of the day is to meet each other we will invite a limited number of large dealers. We will also have some presentations on Matchbox subjects.

10/30-11/2: Las Vegas.
2007 Sema Show at
Las Vegas Convention Center.
is the premier automotive aftermarket trade event and this year Hot Wheels® takes center stage! Teaming up with SEMA, Hot Wheels® has a leading role to play in The Entertainment Capital of the World – imagine life-sized Hot Wheels® cars, collectibles, banquets, awards and the legendary Hot Wheels® logo on all 2007 show-related materials from t-shirts to show programs!
"The theme of 'Fueling the Passion for Hot Wheels' captures the influence the automotive industry has had on the Hot Wheels brand over the years, as well as our influence and inspiration on the industry." At this year's show, Hot Wheels® and SEMA will introduce the "Hot Wheels® Design Award" presented to four original customized vehicles that capture the core attributes of speed, power, performance and attitude synonymous with the Hot Wheels® brand. Other awards new to the show this year include "Best Custom Car" and "Best Custom Truck", to be announced at the annual SEMA New Products Awards Breakfast! You know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! "Having a celebrated brand like Hot Wheels play such a large role in our show, gets us, and our show participants, revved up for this year's convention," said Peter MacGillivray of SEMA. We couldn't agree more! Of special interest to serious Hot Wheels® collectors will be the limited run of commemorative Hot Wheels® die-cast vehicles available by attending the much-anticipated 2007 Specialty Equipment Marketing Association (SEMA) show! For starters, the Bone Shaker® is packed out and branded with the 40th Hot Wheels® anniversary stamp and the SEMA 2007 Show logo! It's been chopped, channeled and placed on a zed frame in all its glory, the ultimate expression of hot rodding and yours if you can attend! That's just a preview we have to save something for the big event!
For forty years, Hot Wheels® has been defining all that is cool about cars, inspiring car enthusiasts to keep experimenting, keep having fun and keep raising the bar, making the Hot Wheels®/SEMA collaboration not only a winning alliance but perfect timing coinciding as it does with our 40th anniversary!
