Matchbox Premiere Gift Set

After purchasing the Matchbox Premiere cars from the USA, I turned my attention to New Zealand and checked out Trademe to see if anyone had any listings. One seller had a Corvette giftset listed, so I placed it on the watchlist and when the time came to bid, I did so. Sadly the seller had a reserve which I did not meet and a few days later I received an email advising of relisting which included a reasonable instant purchase price and so purchased.

When purchasing cars for the Matchbox Premiere collection, I decided mostly to ignore American cars as I had plenty of them from Greenlight and M2 in the collection - being a Corvette gift set, I was breaking the rule very fast .. but these things happen and rules are supposed to be broken right :-)

Sadly the packaging was damaged on arrival (and not from postage), but it will make the opening of this set a lot easier. What I love about the set is that they included some really nice real car bio's of the cars included  - check out and pause the YouTube video to read those if interested.
