Hi, I assume that some of you are also interested in old Matchbox cars so you may enjoy what I just found at the bottom of a box. Its an old catalog from 82-83 which came out in Denmark, Sweden and Norway but is a mix of UK labeled items and some swedish text on a few pages. I have just scanned a few pages as a little treat
If I can find the time later this year I may try to take some photos of my huge matchbox collection but I warn you they are not mint but well-played with so dont be to exited

I am not really into collecting Matchbox, but I couldn't resist buying a few MIB when I was in Prague a few years ago.

Love Matchbox, I've still got a few from my youth..but sadly my much played with Race 'n' Chase set expired many years ago
I can still remember the ad' appearing on the telly & pestering my folks for one as a christmas present...how many time did that Police car catch the Stingray on the teeter tot-her bridge I wonder?

That's cool. I'm pretty sure my old Kenworth, trailer and all, is in my sons room along with about a dozen other Matchbox toys. Did you catch James Mays Top Toys, stkhlmdk? Dinkey and Matchbox both got a mention.

Nope, I only saw his Lego adventure with the brick house and we are very proud of our beloved danish invention being used like that
