Neue Funktionalität

Added a new search criterion to the Search Models page (a request from one of our members).

Search by Models First Produced in a Year let's you enter a year (from 1953 on) and provides a list of all of the models that were first released that year by Matchbox. You can then click on any of the results to drill down and see the versions, variations etc. Try it now.

10-12-2016

Please note: Regular wheels models should now be in correct order by release and catalog no.

05-12-2016

Please note: Regular wheels models should now be in correct order by release and catalog no.

23-11-2016

Please note: I discovered that I have a number of the regular wheels models out of order with respect to release year. I am correcting those year by year as I go, so you will see the LR #'s change for models.

Sobald Sie Versionen, Variationen und Releases für ein Modell sehen, ist es in der richtigen Reihenfolge und fertig.

Fix: Corrected a problem with the back arrow on many browsers.
