Matchbox Monday moves its way to the final Moving Parts of 2025

It's time to finish off the 2025 Moving Parts series, with my review of batch H. Plus, I was lucky that Wheel Collectors got the chase model in as well. Sometimes they luck out, sometimes they don't. It has a been a short while since they had a Moving Parts chase. And, the best part about this is that the batch contained 7 models. So, adding the Super Chase meant they simply took out the duplicate. Phew! No non-Super Chase chase. I am still waiting for them to up the case count on these. 2026 sees no change. Still plodding along with 8 per case, 50 in total plus 4 chases. So, with 8 models to roll through this week, I should get going. 

First up is the welcome return of the MB1374 '57 Ford Country Sedan. It takes the number 27 slot in the series in blue and white.

As many know, Abe Lugo was the person who created this casting. He had a really good subject to work from. He owns one! Hence adding it to the range. It debuted in the 2023 series, but was sadly missing from the 2024 series. Thankfully, it has made another outing. As was common at the time in the US car industry, many vehicles were offered with the option of 2-tone paint. Colonial White and Starmist Blue was a popular combination, and many Country Sedans were sold in that look. What Matchbox has done is pain the model white, and then used a lot of blue tampo to recreate the 2-tone look. However, I do think the end result is a little fuzzy. When the 2023 model debuted, they did it the same way, and the red felt like a solid red. However, this blue has much more of a rough look to it. I know that the tampo machine prints solidly, but ink jet printing leaves a fuzzier look. I wonder if they decided to do this one with the ink jet instead. Of course, at a distance, this looks awesome. But, when you have it in hand, you do notice the rough end result. Which is a huge shame. Because I really like this model, and am still extremely happy to have this addition. But, that is the only downside I see in this. After all, we are seeing a lot of tampo. Apart from the roof, sides and front.

We do get lights at the rear as well. 

And when you open the engine bay, you see the engine itself has been lovingly detailed. Honestly, if this were to be given a premium treatment, the only thing that could be added would be real riders. It is freaking awesome! I just felt the end result on the blue was a bit of a letdown. Which is why I am scoring it a 9 out of 10. But, I do want to see this continue. It is one of my favourites. 

But that debut in red in 2023 does look better. The end result has a solid red paint job, not a fuzzy one that the blue does. 

We did see the model last year. Everett Marshall chose for it to be the Annual Golf Tournament promotional model. This was the final year that he was able to go a Burns Foundation red and Breast Cancer Research in pink. As of 2025, he is back to a single model to cover both charities. 

There are plenty of great colour options to release this in. Colonial White over Cumberland Green? Perhaps Willow Green over Cumberland Green? Colonial White over Inca Gold? Perhaps Inca Gold over black. I could go on. I hope that the Matchbox team does. This model deserves plenty of outings. It is a wonderful casting. 

And now we move on to the first of 5 new castings for the batch. The MB1533 '24 Toyota Sequioia TRD PRO. It debuts in orange in the number 29 slot. 

Now, Matchbox has never done the Toyota Sequoia before. So what is it? If you do not live in either the USA, Canada, Mexico or Costa Rica, you might not know. The Sequoia is the largest SUV in the Toyota portfolio, but is only sold in those 4 countries. It is massive. It was named after the Giant Sequoia tree in California. They are the tallest trees on earth. Of course, Toyota did make a larger vehicle. Between 1995 and 2001, they made 3,000 Mega Cruiser vehicles, which was their answer to the Hummer. 133 were sold to civilians, while the rest were either military or police/fire department vehicles, and only in Japan. Mind you, a few have slipped out through grey imports into other countries. Back to the Sequoia, this first appeared for the 2001 model year, with a second generation replacing it for the 2008 model year. The third generation did not arrive until the 2023 model year, and production is at the Texas Toyota factory, in San Antonio. After all, this vehicle is just for the American market. It makes sense to build it there. Now, we move into the specifics. TRD PRO. The Toyota Racing Department (TRD) variants of models include upgrades for better off-road capabilities or sportier driving. The Sequoia comes in 6 trim levels. SR5, Limited and Platinum are the main ones. Each builds on the previous one for luxury levels. Then there is the 1794 Edition, which has certain retro features, and the ultra luxurious Capstone, which features just about every luxury item that they can cram in. But, the TRD PRO is slightly different, as this is built more ruggedly. It is the worker version, and the only one that has Toyota written across the front grille. All the others have the badge instead. 

Now, when it comes to the real vehicle, aside from the Capstone, all of them feature wheel arches that are shaped like this. They don't go all the way over the arch, but fall short either end. I thought about how that would have been possible if they had replicated it by making the wheel arches part of the interior section. They would not have been able to do it. They would have had to extend down to the bottom. Which would be wrong. So, they went with a tampo print for it. As you can see, it is not quite aligned, particularly on the rear wheel. I am also not sure if the mottled effect they have given it really works. Real ones look, well, solid black. I think it would have been better if they had done that in black, but I do think the tampo approach to the wheel arches was the better option. The alignment may just be my particular issue, so I don't dock points for that. The rest of the casting looks good. Comparing the model to pictures of the real one, I think they have captured the shape very well. And, as I said, the wheel arches really had to be done this way, so I am happy with the construction of the model. 

The TRD PRO does seem to sport this roof rack as standard equipment. You can option a variety of other items for the roof. What they have done is create it out of the window element, as the vehicle can sport a panoramic roof. It works, but could they have made that thicker, and then lightened up the window element a little? The windows are blacked out. I am not a huge fan of the way they did this. Maybe it could have been done by having it as an additional piece. Then it could have been slotted into the light smoke window section. 

After all, the model comes with 1 opening part. The engine is on display. A highly detailed engine bay. I am impressed. But, just imagine if they had done the roof rack as a unique piece that slots in. Some come just like this, but then the others come with a cargo box sitting on the roof rack. And then you would have to hunt down the 2 variants for it. I think it was a missed opportunity for a little fun in hunting down both variants of another model. 

When it comes to the design, this particular colour was a 2024 TRD PRO exclusive in real life. It was called Terra. Brilliant job replicating that. A perfect start. I already mentioned the engine bay getting detailed, but do you notice the edges are bleeding out under the hood? A bit of a sloppy finish, which I think will be pretty standard across the whole production, and not an alignment issue. They should have pulled the black edging in a little to ensure it doesn't bleed out the edges. The front is awesome! I cannot fault the front detail. But, it is sad that the TRD PRO logo on the opening hood is not detailed. Do you see it has 2 lumps at each far corner? These would be black with TRD PRO printed on them. It is a shame they omitted them. 

The rear gets the perfect detail. A little nod to it being the off road variant, and I wonder if the single star is because it is made in Texas. You know, the Lone Star State. 

And, as I already pointed out, it does get side printing. And, as part of it, the sides of the front and rear lights are very well depicted. Which means it does get 4 sides, plus engine, a total of 5 passes. Could they have done the hood print? I don't know how close to maximising the budget they were for this. But, if there is no interior inside (I cannot tell, the windows are black), I think there might have been scope for it. 

So, let's score this. Inclusion. I like that this is a model that has never been done by Matchbox before. I don't know whether it is popular with other brands of toy cars, as I don't really pay attention to anything outside of Matchbox, but I like to see a nice variety of models in the range. And I also like seeing models that are not worldwide releases. Sure, the majority tend to be of vehicles that may often be only seen in North America nowadays. But, I like this one. I am giving it a 10. Casting. Hmm! I think they missed an opportunity with the roof rack. And blacked out windows, possibly leading to a lack of interior? Not the best. I will give it an 8 here. Design. A mottled wheel arch? Weird. Missing the hood detail. Sad. Engine bay bleed. Annoying. That's 3 things. Only a 7. A total of 25 out of 30. I was impressed when I got it. But, the more I thought about it, the less impressed I got. It's good. But, it could have been better. A total of 25 out of 30 is still decent. 

A base shot, as this is a new casting. 

Next up is the MB1529 Tesla Cybertruck. Another new casting, this one debuting in the number 33 slot in zamac. 

I don't think I need to talk too much about the real vehicle. It's weird! It was first announced in 2019, but took until 2023 for Tesla to finally start producing it. Yes, it does stand out. But, it is a Marmite design. I am English, I am using Marmite as a verb here. Marmite is a yeast extract we sell in the UK. You spread it on bread or toast, mix it certain other foods for consumption. You either love it or hate it. Their advertising campaign actually used that tagline. They know the truth. Some people will not touch Marmite at all, where others (like me) will happily put it on many things. And this Tesla is a similar sort of thing. The unusual design is one that you will love or hate. In this case, I hate it. It is hideous. I have seen a few on my travels in the USA. My niece, who accompanies me, also feels the same way. We won't see it in the UK, or in Europe. It is illegal. Somebody imported one to the UK, and actually drove it on the road in Manchester earlier this year. They were immediately pulled over by the police and car impounded. It is not road legal in many countries, which is why it is only offered in the USA, Canada, Mexico, and South Korea. 

Garry Gopinath created this. And, well, he has done a great job in replicating it in miniature. I cannot deny him that. It is just as hideous in miniature as it is in real life. Ha ha! It is just as angular as that. the body does have a gap to the wrap around wheel arches. Now, you may notice that there are no wing mirrors. This was how the concept was unveiled in 2019. The only change made to the vehicle was they had to add them by law. But, certain states in the US do allow for them to be removed, and cameras taking their place. Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, and Montana can have them removed. Arizona and Arkansas can have them removed if you can see out the back of the vehicle. But, without the tonneau cover up, the rear view in this is like a mail box. Slide up the tonneau and you cannot see out the back. 

And the model has the tonneau going up the back. So, are we actually classifying this as a Tesla Cybertruck Concept? I think, to be honest, it would have been better to have had those wing mirrors added. 

The model comes with an opening frunk. And, well, there isn't much to the real opening frunk, but the Matchbox model makes it look worse. They have had to shrink down the actual area even more to hide the overly large hinges. I think this would have been better with opening doors. But, I would have had a little fun. Have the driver's door open, but on the passenger side, have the rear door open. Offset things. As the model is unpainted anyway, the raw zamac would always match. 

This model sees very little tampo printing. The front has just a tiny light section under the body. 

With the rear seeing lights depicted. However, the license plate area is on the base section, so is technically a second pass through the machine for the rear. And you may notice, the top has been tampo printed black. That does equate to 4 passes in total. Although this is a zamac unpainted model, I do believe they still treat it to stop it oxidising. It's like an invisible coating to stop the metal from tarnishing. 

So, let's put some scores on the board for this one. Inclusion. I hate it. I did not want it. But, as I said, this is Marmite. You either love it or hate it. To that end, trying to think of the broader picture, I would suggest that some people would actually love to see this in the range. So, I am splitting the difference. 5 out of 10. Casting. Omitting the wing mirrors I think was a mistake, as that really makes this the concept vehicle, not production one. Opening the frunk was a bit pointless. Doors would have been better. So 8 out of 10 here. Design. I can't fault that. The real vehicle is also unpainted. It is extremely plain. They nailed that perfectly. 10 out of 10. A total score of 23 out of 30. 

As I show the base of the new casting, I do wonder where they take it next? Real ones are left unpainted. If they do another, but paint it in something else, will it look good? I don't know. They do have wraps available for the Cybertruck, if you wanted one. Satin Rose Gold doesn't actually look too bad. Okay, if they do another, I will take it. 

New casting number 3. The MB1527 '24 VW ID Buzz. This one takes the number 34 slot in the series, and debuts in white over yellow.

I have to be honest, I remember asking Abe Lugo about making a model of this when they first launched it. After all, Matchbox has had a fantastic history of making models based on the Type 2. Way back, when the company first started, Volkswagen began by making a single vehicle. The "people's car", Or, as they say in German, Volkswagen. Yes, that was where the name came from. Dr Ferdinand Porsche came up with the design (which is why Porsches look like Beetles), and it was their only vehicle until 1949. When VW launched the Type 2, the original car was retroactively named Type 1. By the late 1960s, the Type 1 had often been nicknamed Beetle, and in the end VW went with it. Their first advert using the name Beetle appeared in 1968, effectively retro-actively naming it again. The Type 2 is known by many names, some dependant on body style. Vans or passenger vehicles. Kombi, Microbus, Bulli, Bus, Camper are some of the names it was known by. And Matchbox has had a good history of making models. The 34-a VW Microvan (another name) debuted in 1957. Since then we have seen the 34-c and 34-d Camper, MB23-A Camper/Dormobile, MB182 Transporter Ambulance, MB390 '67 Transporter, MB405 '67 Delivery Van, MB552 Microbus, MB734 '70 VW T2 Bus, MB1013/MB1070 Transporter Crew Cab and MB1145 '59 Microbus. I felt the new model was a perfect fit. This was back in 2022. It has taken a few years. But, I am happy. 

Garry was tasked with this one as well. He has done a fantastic job with the casting. They have gone with the passenger variant of the real vehicle. He has captured the shape perfectly. However, rather unusually, the side window pillars are actually flush with the window, but the model has them separate. But, I am forgiving him this, as I think he had to do it this way due to the amazing opening feature. 

As I show the base already, you might notice that there is a piece of the body that goes all the way down. And there is an indent there. This is genius work. I was so impressed with it. 

The model comes with an opening sliding door. You can slip your finger into the indent and pop the door open. It clicks as you do it. You can open it quite far. 

Although, to slide it back, you do need to ensure it is not too far out. Yes, making it flush with the body section. It is a pretty smooth slide as well, considering that this is only being done from a single element at the bottom. 

And you might notice something else with that door. 

It is a 2-piece build. There is a window section attached to the metal door. As i said, I was really impressed with this one. 

And the fact that the door clicks in and out of the base so soundly is also impressive. I can't really show it in picture just how smooth it all functions. But, believe me, it does. 

Sure, there is a small gap in there. But, I am okay with it. The picture does enhance that a little. As to the design, white over yellow. And no fuzziness in sight! Yes, a callback to the blue on the Ford Country Sedan. This is a yellow vehicle, and the white has been tampo printed over it. Of course, with some black touches here and there, we do have a couple of tiny spots that the tampo didn't quite get properly. You can see a couple of marks on the roof. It was inevitable. There was a large area to cover. But, this model is another that has received a lot of detail. Both sides are done. The door has a tampo hit as well. The roof is done.

The rear is detailed. 

And the front is detailed. For the price, this is a beauty. This is why the Moving Parts series is vastly superior to the basic range. This is technically a core range vehicle. Even with a sealed door, you would never have got them to do this much detail on a basic range version. It had to be a Moving Parts model. Many cars, SUVs and Pickup Trucks can cope with just a front and rear tampo print. But, some vehicles, like this, really needed a wrap. And it shows. It is so cool. 

So, let's score this one. Inclusion. Well, as I was bugging Abe about including it a few years back, you know I am not giving this a bad score. 10 out of 10. Casting. Fantastic. It gets a 10 here as well. Design. Candy White over Lime Yellow? A perfect choice to begin with. I cannot fault this at all. Another 10. A perfect score! I look forward to seeing many more over coming years. 

The 4th new casting in the batch is the MB1534 '25 Cadillac Escalade IQ. It takes the number 37 slot in the range, and debuts in white. 

I am happy to see another Escalade. Let's face it, the Escalade has become a bit of an icon, considering it has only been around since 1999. Well, August 1998 as a 1999 model. Matchbox came on board with the second generation as the MB567 2002 Escalade debuted in 2003 That was let down slightly because this casting always suffered with a rear droop. It always sagged down towards the rear. Such a shame. In 2018, they launched the 4th generation MB1096 '15 Cadillac Escalade in the basic range. It was small. It didn't look the part. Only 1 basic look and 1 5-pack look, with both reappearing as carry forwards. I have been wanting a really good Escalade for a while. And, it appears I might have it. This is the IQ. You guessed it, that means it is the electric version. It is an offshoot of the 5th generation Escalade, and started production in 2024 as a 2025 model. And this is what Matchbox have recreated. 

I honestly don't believe that kids will really care if it is the IQ or not. However, when it comes to the real vehicle, the lack of a large grille is not the only difference. The rear pillar section is completely redesigned on the IQ. You see here that the white goes up at an angle. Regular Escalades don't. In fact, when you look at the 2 vehicles side by side, you would find that there are quite a few differences between an Escalade with an ICE engine and one with an electric motor. Regular models are more vertical at the rear. The IQ has a nice curvaceous rear. In fact, I think I prefer the look of the IQ over the regular Escalade. The only minor flaw is something I remember seeing with the Maserati in a recent batch. The doors are a little too flat. They curve in more, than almost kin out at the lower edge, almost looking like there is a crease in the bodywork. That has not been replicated well in miniature. 

But the rear opening hatch is cool. It is a flush fit. And, you might notice the metal. 

Just like the VW ID Buzz, this one has also been given a 2-piece build. That is impressive. I remember the early days of Moving Parts, the Range Rover getting an all-plastic opening rear, and them trying to tampo print to match the body. I am very happy to see that they are getting more 2-part builds in. 

And, as I was showing the base almost, here it is in full. 

Now, this is another model that does have some compromise. The roof? Well, the front half is part of the window section. To be honest, I am not sure that really is nice. The rear half is a part of the body, which means the window is pretty dark to accommodate a thicker, almost black looking roof, which aligns with the rear half. Why couldn't they have done the front half as part of the body? Tampo printed the whole roof. Sure, the A-pillars would be wrong, but I would have preferred that. 

When it comes to tampo printing, the front end is faultless. As I said, being the electric version, there is no massive grille. Just the blacked out area as shown. 

And the rear gets detailed, as well as the roof. But, with the rear opening, we get a couple of passes through doing this. I still would have preferred a full roof being tampo printed. The half in half is not great. 

So, let's grade this one. Inclusion. A 10. I think it is worth getting a modern Escalade in the range. It is a modern icon, and is cool to have as a Matchbox. Casting. Hmm! I am not a fan of the roof. Point off. The lack of kink in the doors? Another point off. 8 out of 10. Design. Well, as they went that way with the roof, I cannot fault the design. 10 out of 10. I think white was a great starter for the casting, and am hoping that black is not too far off. 

On to number 43 in the series, and the only other repeated model in rotation. the MB1323 '75 Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste. It returns in red for 2025 after taking a year off. 

I was hoping to see this one again. It has not been given a lot of outings, and Abe Lugo made a lovely little model. This model looks stunning in Baja Red, as Mitsubishi called it at the time. And the lovely little side stripe is always nice to see on this casting. We also get front detailing. 

As well as rear detailing. the base is chrome, which I think works well, as it gives us those lovely chrome bumpers. 

And, as with previous examples, that engine looks fantastically detailed. Another outstanding issue. 

Plus, if you are like me, you must get 2. 

Because of the LHD or RHD variation that Abe threw in as a little Easter Egg. 

And, as you remember, the rear being smooth or ribbed inside simply corresponds with the LHD or RHD piece. There are only 2 variants. For me, this is an easy 10 for 2025. 

It's only the model's 3rd basic outing. It debuted in 2022 in yellow.

And in 2023, was changed to brown. 

We also had a Mattel Creations outing for the model in 2023 in blue. As I said, there was nothing in 2024. 

A victim of having so many castings and so few slots in Moving Parts. They could double the series now, and I would still be trying to get them all. There is scope. 

And, now we move to the final standard model in the set, as well as the final new casting. The MB1545 Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato. It takes the number 44 slot in the series, debuting in green.

So, what is a Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato? The Lamborghini Huracán was a vehicle that they made between 2014 and 2024. It took over the spot that the Gallardo was, in the Lamborghini portfolio. However, the Sterrato is a special variant, limited to just under 1400 examples, that was made between 2023 and 2024. Huracán is Spanish for hurricane, and sterrato is Italian for unpaved road. Yes, this might give you an idea of what this means. The Sterrato is raised, has flared wheel arches, sports wider wheels, and is designed for off-roading. 

Okay, it is tough to showcase a slightly higher level in miniature. But, this is not very low down. So I think Garry did a good job there. He also captured the flared wheel arches shape well, and the overall shape matches what I was checking out on the internet. I cannot fault it. 

The model sports an opening engine bay. Sadly, the engine is not detailed inside. That might be a limitation of the amount of passes that they can give this. After all, it is fully detailed all round, and over the roof. The opening rear is simply a matte black piece. 

It is easy enough to open and close, and sits flush in the closed position. I can't see any other way they could have made it better. I think opening the engine here was good choice. We have had a few Lambos with opening engine bays, and this does give us a sense of nostalgia. Especially for somebody like me who grew up with the MB27-B Lamborghini Countach in the 1970s. 

You can see in this shot how high the model sits. As an off-road variant of the Huracán, I honestly think Garry has got that piece just about right. It does look more off-road than a regular car. I think the wheel arches being tampo printed is along the same style as the Toyota I previewed earlier. Again, this is one that doesn't go all the way over, so making it a part of the interior would not have worked well. 

When it comes to the design, they have gone with Verde Gea Lucido. An official Lamborghini colour option. The 63 design has become somewhat synonymous with the Sterrato, as the concept used it, and many people have chosen to deck their vehicle with the same stripes and 63 design. Which does mean that this really does look realistic. Some 63 designs also include the Italian flag striping down the front. But, I think with 4 colours as a tampo machine capacity, the gold on the badge, as well as black, orange and white, maxed them out. But, that is fine. 

We also see detailing down the sides and at the rear. 

However, the front is actually the top print. So, this does mean it got 4 passes through the machine. It is a shame they didn't do the engine, but I wonder if that was also too difficult. If you think about it, it would have been printed before they added the cover. It would have been at the same time as the rest of the top print. Which means it is limited to the 4 colours they were already using. Perhaps the engine components might have needed different colours. They may have made the best choice. 

So, let's score this one. Inclusion. I can't see why this shouldn't have been done. The Sterrato is quite the unique variant and fits in with the Matchbox brand. So, I am giving it a 10. Casting. Well, I have not found a single thing that Garry could have done to improve it. 10. Design. I think the only thing letting it down is the fact that the tampo machine itself is limited to 4 colours. I can't fault the model for that, as it is the technology behind it. So, unless there are tampo machines out there now that use more than 4 colours in one go that Mattel can go and buy to replace the one(s) at the factory, I am going to give this a 10 as well. Which means a perfect 30 out of 30. Well done Lambo. 

A final base shot for the final new casting in the batch. 

And now it is on to the bonus. The MB1165 '65 Land Rover Gen II Pickup. It is the 4th and final Super Chase of the 2025 Moving Parts series, and was available at Wheel Collectors. Yes, they got this one in. It comes in dark orange with black doors.

Just like the Mitsubishi and Ford, this model was also not used in 2024. Are we at a stage where models are rotating around every few years? I wonder if some of those new castings will not appear in 2026? Again, another shameless leap into my rant about extending Moving Parts again. Too much cool stuff being ignored. It is easily the best range they have. It should get much better visibility. Anyway, this is another of Abe's castings. The oldest one in the batch. This one debuted in 2021. It returns for 2025 in this lovely dark orange hue. And I love that the black doors match the black stripes going down the sides. I also like the little corrugated look to the bonnet. The front plate has SC 1965 on it, but looks like the style that was used in the UK at the time. Silver on black plates were much more common in the 1960s. We moved to white (front) and yellow (rear) with black lettering, but the 1960s would see either being used. I do like that they pick up on certain little things like that. After all, there is a British style flag motif on the side as well. It is a British vehicle. It has right hand drive.

But, I still don't like the way the rear lights look. This is because, in reality, you would often see a thin silver piece down the edge. But, when they try and turn it into a piece on the model, it just looks like the paint at the top has dribbled down. It looks a mess, and honestly, they would be better off leaving that tiny feature off the tampo print. Just highlight the lights themselves. It would have been fine with just lights and a Land Rover badge. Although, if it was me, I would have tampo printed the tailgate piece black to match the doors. 

see how neat and tidy that front end looks? The rear could have looked this neat and tidy as well. The silver trim piece ruined it. It doesn't work when shrunk down to this size. 

I have to say, the real riders really look good on this one. Nice chunky wheels. They definitely suit the Land Rover. So, scoring this? A 9. That silver trim piece is way too sloppy. But, I love the rest of this, and the dark orange paint job looks fantastic. It reminds me of the G4 Challenge orange that Land Rover did in the past. 

Last dive back. As I said, this model debuted in 2021. It was a part of the Collectors series on debut, and came in a simple yellow look. Which I did get a shade on. 

Then, in 2022, it was actually put in the Moving Parts series twice! Once in maroon, featuring the standard 6-spoke wheels. The other, in a pale orange, was sporting the rarely used 8-dot utility wheel. 

And, for 2023, it was given a tan Jungle Safari themed look in Moving Parts. 

Which means it has actually had 5 outings in 5 years. But, it still feels underused to me. Maybe because basics get used in Collectors, 5-packs, 8-packs, store exclusive etc beyond just the basic range. A Moving Parts model may see a Collector outing if we are lucky. And occasional Moving Parts releases. 

And that is me done for another report. 5 new castings (I wonder how often we will see these?)

Along with 3 others that have returned for their first outing since 2023. And they only just scraped into the 2025 series. Because, that is it. The next Moving Parts batch is the first of 2026. 

But, I still have 2 more 2025 blogs to write up. Next week sees me return to the basic range for the last half of batch M. Until then, I hope everybody has a safe and happy week.
