Synopsis
It's all here! Pictured and listed in this massive volume, now in its fourth edition, are fifty-four years' worth of toys produced between Matchbox's founding in 1947, and 2001, including their popular diecast vehicles, playsets, dolls, plastic kits, robots, and ephemera. The international scope of Matchbox toys is illustrated in catalogs and on boxes and labels printed in a dozen languages. Certain toys have been made for sale in specific countries or to promote specific companies or products. In 1982 the international numbering system on miniatures changed. The result of all these variables is a fascinating and infinite variety of Matchbox toys. In the largest volume about Matchbox Toys ever published, 2,447 color photos illustrate nearly all of Matchbox's vast line. Helpful captions and a price guide make this an essential part of every collector's library.

  • Mainly pictures

    There are many pictures of all different types of the models. All in full colour. Nicely done. However, there is no description on the different models, At the end of the book there is in very small print a dry listing of several variations with price indication. A combination of the pictures and the text concerning these models on the same page would already be an improvement.

  • Matchbox "Dictionary" Is Helpful Info.

    I needed a revised copy of this book, as I'd used the first edition of it so much it fell apart! Very good information, though due to the time span release of all the items there is only room for one photo of each. As a longtime collector, I appreciate having a copy again at my fingertips to refer to when listing already-collected or adding new versions. I really bought this for the "what" - the listed versions, not the estimated values given here.
