Neat selection of Matchbox planes you have there. I only have eight of them and only one in the picture above. Shame they discontinued the series because they are pretty nice models.

My diecast addiction started with Matchbox models, but I sold my entire collection (I had them all) in one fell swoop about two years ago. To be honest, however nice they were, I don’t miss ‘em. It boiled down to their landing gear (lack of). I just happen to prefer extended struts.

Still, Matchbox made some real honeys.

Nice looking collection of MB Epapazian.

MB really did think about what they were doing when they put out this line of diecast. I'm sure a bunch of collectors cut their teeth on these inexpensive models from Target stores.

Passed up a few at Target thinking that they would continue to be produced. I wish I had picked up more when they were still cheap and sitting on the shelf at Target.

The big one is an old master bedroom about 15' x 12". Here are some pics.

Now that is a fine looking display room!
