Matchbox Police Cars

[crownvic765]

planning on opening the play set yet?

[racegrooves]

@crownvic765 The Matchbox Cops And Robbers playset is still in my - to do - stack. Thanks for asking.

[ricofojas2011]

do they still make the old matchbox police cars?.

[racegrooves]

@ricofojas2011 I don't keep track of which Police models are still in use or if they are retired. Sorry, I just don't know.

[TruckerDevin97]

I like the 78 dodge because it reminds me of the dukes and hazards police cars that they used in the show and the gold police car reminds me of smokey and the band it

[Planelover9]

Nice video!

[racegrooves]

@Planelover9 Thanks =)

[DunnRightVideos]

nice collection.i have a little bit of one because i love law enforcement! In my small town, the cops drive Ford SUVs, the sheriffs drive brand new 2011 Chevy pickups and tahoes (SUVs), In the larger neighboring town the cops drive the new Ford Police Interceptors, Dodge Chargers and Crown Victorias, and the state troopers drive Crown Victorias, Dodge Chargers, Ford SUVs and brand new Chevy SUVs. State trooper vehicles may vary in some areas, they also have an airplane.

[racegrooves]

@DunnRightVideos Yes, definitely different police vehicles than we use in Los Angeles!

[diecastcars10]

can any person go to there warehouse in CA to get older models or is it just a factory?

[racegrooves]

@diecastcars10 Yes, the Mattel Toy Stores are open to the public.

[diecastcars10]

wow i love police cars from MB to greenlight your collection is awesome



[HWcollector707]

I love having police cars in my collection. Are they good on tracks and stuff??

[racegrooves]

@HWcollector707 Some MB's can be good in the boosters and downhill racing too!

[DaPoptarts]

i wish i have 2 dodge monaco to custom and in box

[epictheepicguy]

you know what you should do to put the Interceptor at the end of your video,put it beside the Monaco.By the way,when are you going to review the police toy set or something at the back?

[racegrooves]

@epictheepicguy I am still working on the huge HW Police Headquarters set. When I can get to it, I will do this MB Police set too.

[racegrooves]

@FireFighterEMT034 The Ford Interceptor is currently hitting the pegs =)

[johnisaok66]

Would like to see mattel turn the 67 camaro into a police car with real riders

[roman15481]

Are you gonna review the one in the back

[IMMUNEORNOT]

i want some new poilce cars but they dnt seem to sell them in single packs no more only in 5 packs

[racegrooves]

@IMMUNEORNOT Matchbox? The first three that I showed in the video are found in the single BP's. They are popular though and may be gone before you get there.

[bioniclemoc]

racegroove can u review hot wheels police car and nice mitsubishi which i cannot find one.

[racegrooves]

@bioniclemoc I have far too many to do a complete video but I can gather up some models for a future video.

[drunkvaderaz]

on the crown vics its 2 different model years the first one you showed (open piller) were used from 1993-97 the other were used from 1998-2010. the ford police interceptor(2011 ford taurus) replaces the out dated crown vics.

[ctw100s]

The ford interceptor is NEW! Great you found it!!

[racegrooves]

@ctw100s It is an other cool little model. Besides, it has a cool light bar and a push bar too. I had to find one and add it to the pile!

[betoyvette]

the monaco had a 440 Hemi, the new interceptor is ford's replacement for the crown vic(just like GM dumped the caprice) the astra is brittish, the polizei model is germany's,the crown vic ltd first came out in black n white. if you don't have one, i'll send you some,thanks for sharing you always come thru.

[racegrooves]

@betoyvette Thanks for the info! I'm pretty sure that I have the white Crown Vic. I might have missed it going through my Hot Cases. When I put these police cars away, I found others that I had missed too, namely those that were released by MB in the late 90's that came with the little cardboard boxes. I think they were branded 'Premium' and they have rubber wheels.

[martintheman16]

There is a police department near me that had 3 dodge magnum 1-3 years ago, i am unsure how many they have now. where is the toy fair held? why did you open the box for the older ford cop car?

[racegrooves]

@martintheman16 The package was pretty smooshed and I still have a couple others still in the package.

[martintheman16]

@racegrooves ok, as long as you have more

[thehogan911]

I love police cars I got a few of them but the dodge monaco is my favourtie.

[megacomicbooknerd]

LOL police 911 thehogan911 good mix.

[killkill120]

I just received the first car I ever owned brand new in the box! It is a Match box Big Pete cement truck no.3. It is weird and cool.

[MatchboxCollector22]

ps the crown vics are not the same model

[MatchboxCollector22]

can u make a diorama soon

[racegrooves]

@MatchboxCollector22 I have no immediate plans to do the diorama. I have other project that I will be filming first but you never know...

[OSKARIUKS]

[tyrus244]

[racegrooves]

@tyrus244 What cars do they use for your local police force?

[jameel989]

[Lionferrari777]

nice video do you have the hot wheels speed machines lambogini gallardo police car???

[racegrooves]

@Lionferrari777 Yes, the Speed Machines Police Lambo was blue, correct? I didn't buy that many Speed Machines but I did buy that one.

[Lionferrari777]

@racegrooves its a bit sad that thay dont sell speed machines in the uk i wold get most of the cars in the line :(

[juiced2death]

the monaco has a shotgun on the front right seat

[racegrooves]

@juiced2death That sounds like another subject for an Inside Story video!

[juiced2death]

@racegrooves DO it pls!

[tyrus244]

very cool

[matchboxfireEMS]

Ya no problem

[matchboxfireEMS]

Ya no problem

[lllllll5s]

Very cool! Love the Magnum!

[dreadnok320]

Dodge Monaco all the way. I own 25 so far. I buy them every time i see them. I have 2 of the old LTD police cars that would be my 2nd favorite police car. I want to get the Gold and Blue Monacos from 2010

[racegrooves]

@dreadnok320 It was awesome that the Monaco was two per case!

[ThePepper3344]

do you you have the 2000 radar truck?

[racegrooves]

@ThePepper3344 I have a Radar truck but I don't know which release.

[MatchboxCollector22]

the interceptor cause its awsome

[racegrooves]

@MatchboxCollector22 I look forward to future paint decorations.

[matchboxfireEMS]

Ya. Also a little piece of interesting facts. Ford made the crown victoria until 2008 in 2008 ford only released the crown Victoria only for police use but not to the general public. 2011 is the last year of the crown Victoria for police and then ford discontinues the crown Victoria. So ford takes the new Taurus which is what the ford police incepter is that you show in this video and throws a police package on it like ford did to the crown Victoria years ago. So now the Taurus is now fords new

[racegrooves]

@matchboxfireEMS Good information - Thanks!

[matchboxfireEMS]

As you know I'm a fire/ems guy but I might pick up the monaco and a few of the ford police incepter but leave the evo.

[racegrooves]

@matchboxfireEMS That makes perfect sense for what you do!

[largejason333]

i like that evo x alot

[001lightyear]

oh the chevy blazer is sooo sweet hehe

[racegrooves]

@001lightyear The Blazer is pretty cool. It has a big antennae on it too!

[Trikenut012]

I like Cop cars, to collect them, I don't like to see them in my rearview especially when they flash their lights lol jk I only been pulled over like 3 times once for speeding once was a green neon licence plate frame and once was a regular check stop.

[racegrooves]

@Trikenut012 No more speeding tickets for me! I had enough!

[KamenRiderJosh]

what about Hotwheels Police car

[racegrooves]

@KamenRiderJosh It was fairly easy for me to go through my Matchbox cases and pull out the Police cars. I have far too many Hot Wheels cases to go through them all and make a video for that brand.

[MongooseBikeRacer]

i have the doge manaco and my fave of matchbox

[racegrooves]

@MongooseBikeRacer Oh, I love that Monaco!

[MongooseBikeRacer]

@racegrooves yeah it's one of the faves police cars

[TripleZ89]

Love the internationals! :P

[racegrooves]

@TripleZ89 Me too! Those are called "ROW" because they are available to the "Rest Of the World".

[cilveringz]

Make a diorama! Please? :D

[racegrooves]

@cilveringz Some day LOL! I have lots of video projects to do!

[helpmemeetkatyperry]

[heathkinn]

now this i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...th­e police cars...awesome and informative  to me...thankyou markkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk....nice­eeeeeeeeeeeee

[racegrooves]

@heathkinn I know you wanted one before =) I could do this with the Matchbox because I only have about 12 cases of Matchbox LOL! Of course, when I put these back away after the video, I noticed that I missed some MB's that were packed in the little boxes instead of the blister. Oh well, maybe a follow-up video = )

[Mattecarshop]

Man I love Matchbox now, thanks to you. I think I like opening better than Hotwheels. Is there something special about pink Matchbox cars?

[racegrooves]

@Mattecarshop Nope, nothing 'special' about MB pink cars. If you like them, then they are great! And if you want to share your hobby with little girls, they are the perfect ones to get them into the hobby as well =)

[Mattecarshop]

@racegrooves Ok, thanks!
