Hard to believe, but that is only 6 months away, and as always, we will be there, along with Mattel and a whole slew of Matchbox and other diecast collectors. And if you have debated whether to go, we promise you won't be disappointed. And if there is even more doubt, just come for the models. Those that returned home with the event exclusive Toyota Tacoma and Dodge Charger Police were not disappointed:
For those of you planning on attending, registration begins at Midnight, Mountain Standard Time, on December 31st. This is significant, as the first 75 registrants become eligible to receive the rare 1 of 75 variant on the Dinner Model, which last year was the white-hood Toyota.
All the details have been released below, along with a link to the registration form:

It's Almost Time!
Registration time for the 13th Annual Matchbox Collectors (MC) International Gathering of Friends Convention and Toy Show is almost here. Come join the top collectors from around the world at this world class event. Come meet the Mattel Designers and Marketing Team. This event is coordinated with the Mattel Matchbox Team from El Segundo, California. It will include 3 + days of trading, learning, buying, selling and most of all fun meeting the top collectors in the hobby. There will be informational presentations, charity auction, dinner, toy show/sale, first responder display and the ever expanding in-room trading. If it was ever made, it probably will be available here.
There will also be beautiful, specially made Code 1 Dinner and dealer models made in very limited numbers. The 1st 75 (Paid) registrations received for dinner will receive a 75 piece run dinner model and may purchase the 2nd variation as well. Every dealer can purchase 1 dealer model per table purchased.
