Sorry for the 3 items as I just couldn't make it to 2.

1. The blistercard at the bottom left corner. A rare Japanese blistercard from the Superfast era in late 70s. I think it completes the collection, the 6 different Japanese designs.

2. The orange model at the top right corner, '70 Nissan Skyline 2000 GTX by Mattel Matchbox. Limited edition of 50 made for the 2018 JCCS (Japanese Classic Car Show) held at Long Beach, California. It came with a special black box numbered J-20, a similar design to the old Japanese black box J-1 to J-9 from late 70s.

3. A pre-production of Mercedes Benz CLS 500 by Mattel Matchbox. As you can see the Matchbox logo was mirrored. Such a rookie error the factory made. Unbelievable!
