View Full Version : Casting Suggestions for MB
craftymore 11-12-2007, 12:45 PM Seems the only thing really missing from this forum would be a continually running thread of castings that we the MB collectors want. The JL board here on HT has had several threads about this topic and so has the HW forum.
Suggestions can be of any car, truck, van, SUV or industrial vehicles you can think of. New or old, all suggestions are welcome. I'll start with what I think would make some killer Matchboxes for 2008.
2009 Nissan GT R
2008 Mini Traveller
BMW Concept CS Concept
These are only a few of what I believe would make killer Matchbox castings.
I look forward to everyones suggestions. ;)
jedimario 11-12-2007, 01:25 PM 2005 Honda Civic Si, but I'm a bit biased.

I actually think they're doing a great job right now, and can't really think of any glaring omissions from the lineup. None that they can help anyway.
New Mustang would be neat, but plenty of companies have it covered already.
There's a few Ferraris I'd like to see, but only HW gets those.
Things like Evos and WRXs and Skylines would be cool, but I imagine there wouldn't be much demand for those in stock form.
Actually, just thought of one. Honda S2000. I don't know of one in 1:64, it'd be great if MB did one.
And while they're doing the Bentley thing, and Arnage T would be cool.

Jason,
SuperFast has your GT-40 Mk. I. Look for the 350Z in the current 1-75/1-100.
No Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW!
Quantum 11-13-2007, 02:59 PM Some Acura stuff - the new RDX and MDX are cool. And I'd like to see a TSX with a body package... :dude:
slythorne 11-13-2007, 03:47 PM VWs are always popular.. but neither Hot Wheels or Matchbox has made the squareback yet.. that would be cool. I don't like Jada's Urban styled ones. I also want to see a 90s Ford Econoline raised-top style camper van as no one has done them yet and they are cool.
I really like the retro cars that Matchbox has been putting out this year like the old school bronco, the hearse, the alfa's, and the Autins. I just want them to keep coming out with more old school really.
Lpgeoteacher 11-14-2007, 08:10 AM VWs are always popular.. but neither Hot Wheels or Matchbox has made the squareback yet.
Or a Notchback, or how about a hebmuller! Heck bring back the Fastback casting!
toyparknyc 11-14-2007, 07:21 PM hevy rescue, and i am not sure what it called evry were else but the nypd esu mack truck,a crown vic taxi,crown vic reg. dont need a new casting just dont put a light bar on it,a ferry ship,temrnal,ford panel police van,updated snow plow truck with the plow.
Diecast Camaro Collector 11-14-2007, 08:05 PM Camaro concept or any camaro for that matter.Besides the superfasts I haven't found one in a bp in 3 years.
tamiyatim 11-15-2007, 03:26 PM How bout a 70 or a 68 charger... hadn't seen any of those... or a '71 Chevelle hardtop.
AMC Javelin, AMX, or Rebel Machine??
A 70 Buick GS?

What colour is the 350z in? Will MB ever do Ferraris?
Lummox 11-15-2007, 08:37 PM How about a flower car to go with the hearse?

jedimario 11-26-2007, 08:53 PM They make a GT-40, was in the first NSF series and subsequent ones as well I think. I know there was a Streaker at some point.
JasonZ 11-26-2007, 10:15 PM There is but I don't like the colour of it and it doesn't show up around my area
jedimario 11-26-2007, 10:51 PM White with blue stripes or the other thing?
JasonZ 11-26-2007, 11:02 PM The other thing. Is there a white w/blue stripes GT?
jedimario 11-26-2007, 11:45 PM Yep, in the first NSF series.
JasonZ 11-27-2007, 06:53 PM I don't think i saw one b4

JasonZ 11-28-2007, 10:39 PM Was there any Lamborghinis for Matchbox?
Lummox 11-28-2007, 11:09 PM Yup, they did a Countach back around 1975 or so. Number 27 was it?
It was pretty nice!
Of course the coolest one imo was the #33 Miura. Released in '69 I think
and was origonally yellow with regular type wheels. It was quickly changed to
Superfast wheels and the color changed to a dark goldish. It was awesome.
The first Superfasts in '69 was the last of the great Matcbox cars in my opinion.
R.I.P., Lesney!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
jedimario 11-28-2007, 11:24 PM Was there any Lamborghinis for Matchbox?
I think they did a Diablo in the early/mid 90s, but I'm not sure. Also, I think they have a newer version of the Countach as well.

craftymore 11-30-2007, 10:13 PM It would be awesome to see that Pontiac and a Ford Falcon ute made in Australia be made by MB. Really cool casting suggestions from all of you guys here on HT. Keep them up! ;)
