2023 World Packs - Series 7
The initial wave of Series 7 World Packs includes 3 of 6 sets listed on the back of the cards in July. Sets 21, 24, and 25 surfaced in November 2023. No indication is present for this release for chase vehicles including the sticker typically found on the packs in earlier releases. The loose vehicles shown are pre-production for the later release sets 21, 24, and 25. Notice the placement of the black arrow-type design on the red corvette between pre-production and final production versions. It has shifted from the rear to the hood which is an obvious change compared to other changes that are far more subtle.

2023 World Packs - Series 7 - Pre-Production/Prototypes
In late 2021, loose vehicles appeared in China which appear to be pre-production/planning items for the eventual 2023 release, however, the numbering on the vehicles does not match nor most of the final chosen color schemes. Some vehicles are different as well. Assembled collections of vehicles believed to be possible 5-vehicle World Packs at the time are shown here; themed collections such as Exotics, Off-Road, and Corvettes with organized numbering. The red Range Rover and orange Bronco are not numbered on the bases since too early in pre-production. It is presumed they would go with the other 3 shown to make an "Off-Road" collection of five possibly. Based on the final release in 2023, the plans must have changed dramatically,
2023 Easter Egg - Italy Exclusive
A Micro Machines-related themed watch was released in Italy only in early 2023, and encased in chocolate wrapped in a colorful foil wrapper from Icam Cioccolatieri that includes the Micro Machines logo. The wrapper color and design was changed for 2023 vs. earlier releases. Very few of these egg items from Italy were obtained by collectors, so they are very sought after now and may increase in value and popularity far more in the future due to the regional rarity. All 3 eggs released are shown together for comparison reference.
