MATCHBOX 1962 VW BEETLE NO4 1/64

I am understandably ecstatic that after being behind for so long ASDA have reset their first case of Matchbox for 2018 at D meaning we are only one batch behind the U.S. The downside of course is that we have missed B and C and more tellingly so far I have only found this new batch in just ONE of the many of their stores I visit. This suggests they still arn't managing their exclusive deal with Matchbox very well annoying collectors down the land and charging a hefty premium too!

The one store I did visit looked as though they had literally just emptied out a full 72 count case which meant I came away with a few of these gorgeous blue 1962 VW Beetles. Retooled for 2018 the only noticeable difference is the one piece metal roof which is now cast into the body, the chrome disc wheels and delicate tampo detailing remain. Mint and boxed.
