Back at ya, Eddie!
Really enjoyed this interview. Thanks Jim, and nice job, Chuck and David!
Thanks so much! We really appreciate it.
Absolutely, awesome. Really enjoyed this episode as I am huge vintage matchbox fan.👍👍👍
Thanks so much! It means a lot that you liked it.
Great interview guys! Thanks Jim! ...it ain't no 1997 Toyota Paseo Convertible but it's pretty close... 👊❤
Haha! Thanks, Rico!
Had to listen as I was commuting home (and in the grocery store), but I really enjoyed this. I love what Matchbox has been releasing with the Collectors Editions or the Moving Parts cars even more than Hot Wheels. I hope before long I'll make the convention. Great interview! Thoroughly enjoyable!
Thanks so much, David! Hearing this made my day.
Well done on your interview with Jim. One of your best i have seen and very interesting. Keep up the good work guys. From Australia.
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Another awesome podcast! Thanks for all you do!
Thanks, Mike! Glad you enjoyed it
Hope Jim Gallegos be back at Diecast Media Network with more stories about his collection and Matchbox History. I wonder if he have the Matchbox advert with the first ever onscreen appereance of Leonardo DiCaprio. As DiCaprio said at an interview after receiving a award his first job as a actor was on a Matchbox advert. Cheers!
That's wild! I'll have to look for that one. Thanks for the comment!
It would be nice to see some of these event come north like New Hampshire or Vermont or any of these states up here even the legends tour.
I know what you mean. The closest any of these come to me is a five hour drive.
Awesone!
Thanks!
Another awesome interview 🔥👍
Thanks, Dane!
Great episode. Definitely calls for a part 2 on site to see Jim’s collection.
Have a safe 4th everyone! 🫵✌️👍🇺🇸
Thanks, Steve! Happy fourth!
