  • The amazing new Matchbox Subaru SVX


    I've been looking forward to this one since I was surprised to hear Matchbox was actually going to do it. They did a truly wonderful job modeling this very quirky car.

    Outstanding detail on the overly-complicated window/roof structure. This was a labor of love for the designer. Bravo!

      Have you collectors found this in the wild or through an online channel? I am hoping to find one at the store but haven't seen this Matchbox wave released yet near me.

          I found this release (R?) at Target Wednesday evening after work. All of the release was there EXCEPT the 50th Anniversary Gold Cars, the 57 GMC truck and the yellow School Bus.

            Thanks, Rick! At the moment, Target seems to be the place to find Matchbox releases first.

              Found at Target Thursday night. I put all the finds up in the Showroom, including the Superfast cars. It looked like a freshly opened case on the pegs.

                What a model - everything a Matchbox should be. Matchbox pegs here have been pretty empty for the past few months; I'm hoping that the impending Christmas rush will bring in some new models (including this one).

                  Sweet looking Subaru - perhaps another non-emergency vehicle that will find its way home with me if I find one. Neat to see the gold Hudson and Seagrave - those are two of the gold ones I want to add to my collection. Somewhat amazed to hear you have found all these at Target - around my area the Matchbox pegs, if they have them, are basically empty and seem to stay that way.

                    Great stuff.....not much here on the pegs as well but I have a large amount of competition between all the other collectors and the scalpers which here there are many of the latter.

                      Nice! The Subaru looks great! Maybe I'll find one at Target this weekend.
                      I collect what I like, and I like what I collect.

                        Black and white color rendition reminds me on the Nissan Leaf released earlier this year.

                          Probably the best new Matchbox in ages. I found one (well two) at a suburban Chicago Target over the weeked while on vacation. Brilliant'y executed and perfectly detailed. Hats off to Matchbox on this effort. They've really listened to the collector community over the last several years and stepped their game up big time.

                            I found the Hudson, the Polaris Slingshot....at one Target yesterday (nothing else from that newest and last 2019 case R). Found the Backhoe and INC Drill Digger at the other Target Sunday. Guess that means I've got all I'm gonna get in stores unless Walmart and/or Fred Meyer step up to the plate and peg something newer than July's case...or the Q case which seems to have been restocked (did I mention this a day or two ago?) at every Walmart in town just in the last few days....every single WM store restocked and it was all the exact same case. So, Q is in quasi-abundance around here, and Target is already out of the newest batch R.
