- Matchbox Kingsize Models - a walk through the many models - October 16th, 2015. Take a look at most of the Matchbox King Size models made by Lesney in the 1960's. This video should bring back childhood memories if you had these as a kid back in the 60's and early 70's. I still love them all today 50 years later.
Fabulous, 30 min adventure it makes my collection look so amateurish but i still love the thrill of the chase
What a fantastic collection! I had about a dozen or more of the king size models when I was a kid. Of course I ran the tires off of them. This really brings back memories!
The artwork on the boxes was special.
At 7 years old, I began collecting Matchbox 1-75's. That was in '65 or '66- keeping them in their boxes. I managed to get all 75, plus a few variations. Then, I started in major packs, king size & yesteryears. When I went to high school, I was still collecting "ANYTHING" Matchbox I didn't have. One of my teachers invited me to a 'toy meet'- what is a TOY MEET?? I was 14 & OMG- I never saw so many discontinued Matchbox items I was missing!! I brought $50.00 with me, & ended up with 6 pieces only, but mint in the boxes! After that, I went to every toy meet I could, plus buying new items from Toys-Are-Us, Kay-Bee Hobby, K-Mart & any other store that carried Matchbox!
Fast forward to the early 1990's - with SO many variations & most items only on blister cards, I just gave up! Plus the fact that I was married for 2 years & had a 1 year old daughter. Not much $$ left for Matchbox :-(
Do you know how many variations on the superfast #38 Ford Model A truck there are? Literally thousands! And now they are doing the same with the #60 Ford Transit Van. I've sold all my 1-75's, superfasts & major packs on eBay. I'm putting up all my yesteryears (over 100) on July 15. Then I'll hit the kings & superkings.
If interested, check out marklinho4ever on eBay tomorrow night starting at 6:00 pm EDT. Every bid starts at .99 cents. if you're the only bidder, you get the item for less than a buck (plus shipping) I'm very fair with shipping- I have over 1300 positive feedbacks & NEVER a neg!!
I feel much better now........ thank you!
Wow, Dave! You are right...a big toy store in the 1960's didn't even have as many Kings as you do! I haven't been buying too much lately, but still enjoy looking at your website from time to time. Great stuff!
Great collection!!
THESE TOYS ARE FANTASTIC I HAVE SOME GAVE TO MY KIDS THEY STILL HAVE THEM
But is it in bad shape or not in bad shape
I like the artwork on the photo boxes best, but my favorite King was introduced in a window box in 1969 - the K-4 Leyland Tipper. And ha-ha, another comment from me two years ago just below! Also commented on the bottom re: King picture vs. window ("slide" vs. "clear") boxes.
MATCHBOX ARE THE BEST!!
Some kids would love to play with it already 😇
I have a few of these older matchbox models.The Scammell dump truck( K-19) I have is an unboxed 1971 example that my mum bought me from a charity shop in the 80s when I was a kid.Recently I bought a battered Scammell 6x6 tractor for £1 (seen at 24:39 2nd row 2nd from the left) Although I grew up with 1980s matchbox cars,lorries etc and liked them, nowadays I really think 1960s matchbox vehicles were far better and possess a lot more charm
Фильм,кружовник
what a collection 😳
wow what a super nice collection brother, so cool ! ive started collecting the old matchbox lesney moko, i love em all ! I think i have diecast madness ! lol.
Most enjoyable! Thanks Dave.
Thanks to you I have a new respect for Matchbox cars. I was just in the Hot Wheels, but Matchbox covers a lot of stuff.
I can only assume all the models are in the states-hard to find in UK! They look like they have been stored from new! 60 years !
I had a lot of these when I was very young and wrecked them all. I’m collecting Speed Kings and Super Kings now.
@KRAZEEIZATION I'm listing my Yesteryears on Wed, July 15. on eBay. There are about 100 of them, 99% in their boxes. I'll be putting up my Kings & Superkings soon, again most boxed. Check out marklinho@aol.com on eBay on Wednesday night if you wish to see the Ys.
Sorry- I goofed- it's marklinho4ever on eBay
Awesome collection TY for sharing
Oh...my...God...I'm jealous of what you have. For example You have 3 x M 9, Im dreaming about 1. And others. You covered my mouth. Congrats so big and lovely collection of those matchboxes :O
I love matchbox, special regular wheels
Hi , in a further video I wrote to you you should make a museum for Matchbox. Now in this video I see you have already a museum !
F A N T A S T I C show !!!!
Zabawki mego dzieciństwa
excellent video.thank you
Had the Hoveringham tipper,l recall the paintwork on it was very good,l couldn't recall who made it-now l know!
Good collection 🤠
It was a great collection but sadly most of them have been sold. So hard to find nice king size and shipping them safely is a real challenge.
My grandparents are very lucky because they have 2 whole boxes of tootsie toys and matchbox cars from 50s to 70s. Maybe older
If they ever want to sell them hit me up. I love Matchbox but they do need to be beautiful!!!
Wow!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Awesome
I love the super king's I had a lot of them in the 70s 💙

Super collection!
Nice video nice collection weld on my favorite of those gift sets I've been looking for empty boxes so that I can put my Matchbox Us in the gift sets and I think it'll make him worth a lot more I think I have over 350 regular Wheels maybe about 40 or 50 king size I do have a whole bunch of red lines but I'm not giving those up
The K8 also comes in a Turquoise truck with yellow trailer.
I would also like to know why the value of these declined so much. In the 90s they were extremely more expensive
Pretty obvious when you consider that all those little boys who played with these toys in the 50s and 60s were 40-50yrs old in the 90s...They were able to buy the childhood memories and even share that with their own kids...I'm 70yrs old and I can remember spending 29cents up to 49cents for these things back in the day...At this age, we have little interest in toys...Many of those old men who might be interested in buying these toys are now dead or dying, toys no longer interest us...You may see Hot Wheels (an inferior product) surpass matchbox in price soon enough, merely because the little boys who played with them have now reached an age where money is less of an object to what we want...The "Man Cave" has a place for the display of our childhood treasures...
@@grantkruse1812 my dad and I collected these together in the 90s . At that time we had to go to antique stores and booths to locate them. He past away 5 years ago and I inherited his collection. Most of the ones he had were since he was a kid. He didn’t make great money so we could only purchase what he could afford. I’m 35 and been purchasing them heavy in the last few years. I feel like it’s stupid to inherit a collection and not keep the collection going. My favorite ones to purchase is blister packs. I noticed recently people on eBay are really paying extreme prices. I bought them much cheaper last year and the years past. The thing I like about blister packs is thinking to myself why this toy been in the package for 70 years. Why did a child receive this cool toy and never opened it. I find it very odd
Didn't see any K-16 Dodge/Fruehauf double dump trailer..
Love the Cooper-Jarret tandem trailer always one of my favorites I had like 4 of them when I was a kid.
I like the Original Matchbox King Size models, Never cared for Superfast, Super Kings or Speed Kings myself. Just my opinion.
I got the breakdown truck at 13:28 for going to school on my first day in 1963. It wasn't a good deal, as I hated school for the next 13 years.
@Bordrelands They should have bought you a different Matchbox EVERY week- you'd have had them ALL when school was over! LOL
I love the k-7 race car carrier.. I always wondered why the window of the yellow one comes in two varieties. Some have the window frame, like the white Martini k-7, some have a clear view window all around. Any one have some info on this?
@Jeroen Stobbe Those 'differences' are variations. You can go broke buying all (or many) of them, especially in mint condition WITH their boxes.
Handle the boxes and toys a bit gentler, it devalues the product! to the viewers .... your collection is very nice and valuable and you treat it like plastic crap .....just saying
@Bill Weir Yes TREAT THEM LIKE GOLD!!! Those boxes become brittle & the glue on the window boxes tends to let go sometimes. I've repaired probably 20 recently.
Let's remain fair, if you have so many of these, it's not (just) because you love them, but because it simply is an investment. As far as I remember, that's not a "dirty" word, is it ? So let's name a cat just "cat", shall we, for clarity's sake, in stead of just wiggling around the hot oatmeal....
Bs Tardes, UD vendería algunos de eso Matchbox ?
No hago envios a mexico en este momento
👍
Also why do some have slide boxes and why do some have clear boxes ?
Picture boxes were used for King Size models up until about 1966. Then Lesney decided as a marketing move to switch all their Kings to window boxes so the actual model could be viewed in its package. Same thing happened with all Models Of Yesteryear about a year later.
Sometimes nice things happen in collecting. When I purchased a K-6 Mercedes Ambulance from a dealer a few years ago, he sent me TWO patients on stretchers with their snap-on red blankets. Great because I'd just bought a Super King of the same model missing the stretcher. A neat surprise!😊
would you be willing to sell 1 of the green car transporter with the BP sticker with the box? how much would it cost me?Thank you!
Take a look at my site www.toycarcollector.com I have tons of mint in box Matchbox Yesteryears.
+ToyCarCollector.com I did, I am on your page every day looking at your awesome hot wheels, but yet I did not see that green Matchbox Race Car Transporter. PS. I like your videos
I wonder what that blue charger Super Kings cost
Can someone tell me the price of these when they were sold in the 60s?
Well, I don't know if it this will help, but they used to sell some of these models in Bulgaria up till the very late 90's. As far as I remember a set of two pieces from the Kingaized models (they obviously weren't called like that in Bulgaria back then) was about 10 BGN and that's roughly 4.50 GBP adjusted to inflation and in modern currency. Back in the day when some of the 1st models were introduced, they were probably cheaper.My uncle used to collect the Bulgarian Made Superfast series back in the day(mid 70's to early 80's) and he said they used to cost about 1.50 BGN which is about 60p. Now these can't be evaluated really. Matchbox cars and sets from Socialist Bulgaria or Hungary are extremely rare and they were aimed at the Eastern Block market
Ivan Enchev I finally found the answer. I was able to purchase one in a blister pack from the 60s and it says 59 cents , and one original sticker said 3 for $1. I found it very strange that people bought these cars in the 60s and didn’t even take it out of package.
The problem with King size is the red wheel hubs shrink over time and the tyres fall off.
@Moo01100 Just make sure you don't lose them. I'll be selling more on eBay & I mention "tires loose" on those items so no one is surprised or disappointed!
I own a lot of these king-size there really are nice I have some there were 30 40 50 or $60 but they're worth a lot more to me I'd rather have the toy I've even overpriced them at flea markets and people still buy them now I miss him ain't that a b**** good video though
Muito legal a coleção
cuanto cuesta el matchbox garage ?
The Hubs Don't shrink on the king-size I think the tires grow bigger or stretch hey missing tires on the little regular Wheels go to Ace Hardware and get some what do you call them little bastards all Rings yeah you got all kinds of different sizes for like 3 bucks
And what are you videos she she can find a matchbox with 55 police car in the 1950s
Hover not Hoover
How about you make a giveaway!! :):):);)
