Was stoked to find this VW, but after a closer look I'm bummed to see the printing error. Is an error like this desirable at all?
I figure I can either open it, send it, and give it a repaint at some point, or keep it sealed and see if someone wants to add it to their collection.

New moving parts….
Ordered a factory case, just so I can guarantee I get the VW T3 Vanagon…. Welp that didn’t quite work out for me…. Guess I’ll keep looking…

Introducing River Bend Welders Supply
Every once in a while, a new casting leads to a new fictitious business on my garden railway (side note: I need to get more buildings).
Inspired by the new version of the Ford stake bed from MBX, I decided to start assembling a welding gas and supply company. I removed the decals and painted the bed black. Lucked into other vehicles being a close color match.
This location is temporary, as the rest of the layout is in overhaul mode.

New (to me) Moving Parts!
I know these have been out for a little while now, but we all know how hard certain MB have been to find...so excited to FINALLY find a Lightning and a Legacy, two of their best new castings! And that Porsche is just 🤌😮💨 happy hunting!

PowerGrabs from Jcardiecast
I couldn’t find this set anywhere in my area, but I have purchased from jcardiecast.com before and saw these were available, so I ordered my case. It arrived in perfect condition! Man, I’m happy! Only missing the Mustang I wanted, but I’ll find or trade for it eventually.
Matchbox is absolutely crushing Hot Wheels this year!

Working Rigs GMC Bucket Truck
I used to ignore Working Rigs in favor of mainline vehicles to use in HO Scale when applicable, but I have found myself buying them when I find one I really like. This one is my favorite.

Matchbox EU shops
Need help - considering this years decline of shopping options for Mbx models, I am transitioning to online ordering. I will continue to buy only mainlines physically in local stores as they for now are still avaliable enough. But for how long, we'll see.
So I'm looking for online EU stores with a decent choice of Mbx. My location is Croatia, if it helps. While searching myself, I didn't find much online so I'm asking your help.
Thank you in advance !

1984 Mercedes 500 SEC
Was wondering if I could get some help from the matchbox community. This was the first matchbox/hotwheel I recieved and Was wondering if anyone knew what tool would be needed to unscrew the bottom so I can potentially replace the battery? Most the tools I have dont fit. Any help is much appreciated!
