And one called Town, it's different than the one called Matchbox City, it's a vinyl playcase like the others but has hard plastic buildings instead of vinyl, actually so does the military one, one day I'll try to photograph the Town one and post it.Leave a comment:

well go get it & post it in here!
Now that I think of it
IF one had ALL these plastic playcases
you'd need a entire warehouse just to make a City out of all of them!
Matchbox made a mall, airport, city, this one, military & lots & lots of others!Leave a comment:

my guess is & I can nearly confirm this
I think the house was sold & cleaned out cause later aluminum siding was put on it
I know cause I took ALL the scraps they threw out & recycled it all!
Plus a bunch of toys was thrown out including diecast cars
but nothing as old as what vehicles on the playcase
but I DO need the police station wagon as I have all the cars on it but that one!Leave a comment:

Great dumpster find, Congrats! Really surprised it's all complete, and in excellent condition for being in the trash, the kid must have never played with it when it was new.Leave a comment:

Very nice! I remember many of those playsets but passed on them partly because of their size and also had to have some limitations on what I added to my collection. Do you know about what time period this was issued?

Matchbox To The Rescue! Playcase 1975
this be the one found in a dumpster
it does take a "acre" of floor when set up
close up of buildings
ambulance for scale
fire station
bridge
police station
warehouse on fire
I heard this a difficult piece to find since its NOT attached to the play area
Don't believe it'd be hard to replicate since it does lay flat
I have all the cars & trucks on the front but the police station wagon!!
do we likes this?
What a great dumpster find!
