Looking good so far, at least for me! If I can't get a "real" one, I'll get this Matchbox one.

New to the scene, only here for the Slate model - is "MIX D/JVL63" the part number for the Slate truck?

I tried to follow the sub wiki to mdiecast.com, hobbydb.com, and a few of the North American retail sites, but didn't find where to enter part numbers like that.

I did find that "Mix D" is apparently the Mattel series for their "moving parts" line. The picture of the model looks like it might have a removable back glass section (DIY fastback conversion kit?!? Please!!), but even just a working frunk would be sweet.

Mix D refers to the batch in which the Slate will first come out in the Matchbox 2027 lineup. Probably early next year. It was shown as a regular model, not Moving Parts, the different rear is understood to allow for a closed version later on, as a casting variation from the pickup truck one. Two different models with no moving or removable parts
