CODE 1: Models that have been manufactured in their entirety by Matchbox and have been distributed for sale to the general public through retail outlets, or by mail order.
CODE 2: Models that were originally of a Code 1 status, but whose livery, or decorations, have been altered, removed, or replaced by a third party with the full agreement of Matchbox; OR where a Code I model has not been made available to the general public through normal retail outlets or by mail order.
CODE 3: Models that were originally of Code I status, but whose livery or decorations have been altered, removed, or replaced by a third party without the agreement and acknowledgement of Matchbox.
These models fall outside the control of the owner of the Models of Yesteryear brand and so are no longer classified as Models of Yesteryear.
CODE 4: Presentation, commemorative or one-off models which have been produced on Matchbox premises, under Matchbox management supervision and which were never intended to be released to the general public or collectors market.
