Many were impossible to find if not non-existent. Too bad they don't do it any longer. It was somewhat fun to do. eyecandy 03-07-2007, 07:13 PM They had the 75 Challenge cars in 1999 was it? All gold paint and a box kinda like the superfasts, but they were randomly mixed in with regular cases. I have about 30 or so, sometime Id like to fill in the missing holes Pablodragon 03-07-2007, 10:00 PM I have a gaggle (translation: a few) of the Matchbox 2000 logo cars if anyone is interested...e or pm me... sschevyman1 03-08-2007, 03:13 PM They do now for the 2007 line. 2 of the matchbox designers went to the factory and autographed a bunch of the blister cards. The factory is shipping these right now,so these blisters will truly be collectables. eyecandy 03-08-2007, 07:14 PM They do now for the 2007 line. 2 of the matchbox designers went to the factory and autographed a bunch of the blister cards.

I wonder if all of the 2007 cars will have this or just the upcoming release. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a139/jimgallegos/Signaturecar2007-8.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a139/jimgallegos/Signaturecar2007-2.jpg sschevyman1 03-08-2007, 08:59 PM This will not be all the releases....... chriscobbs 03-08-2007, 10:13 PM This will not be all the releases.......

Pablodragon 03-09-2007, 05:08 PM well that sux...you cant even see the signature... ya supposed to open these or what?...why didn't they put it on top? eyecandy 03-09-2007, 07:32 PM well that sux...you cant even see the signature... ya supposed to open these or what?...why didn't they put it on top? I think its pretty smart...stays protected, and if it were at the top there'd be fakes wlpaul 03-11-2007, 10:35 AM Anybody found one of these yet. Are these out now? chriscobbs 03-11-2007, 10:56 AM I haven't seen any on e-pay yet, so I would assume they aren't out yet. tex 03-11-2007, 01:34 PM i think that is way cool! is it just the vw or will it be a few more? chriscobbs 03-11-2007, 01:49 PM The models to look for are: Pkg yr. # Vehicle Destination 2007 #6 Mini Cooper 4 each for the International Market 2007 #15 Nissan 350Z 3 each for the Domestic Market 2007 #25 Porsche Cayenne 5 for the International Market 2006/7 #1/#5 Golf GT (red/black) 6 Domestic/10 International Markets 2007 #20 Mercedes CLS500 3 each for the Domestic Market 2007 #54 Tractor 5 each for the Domestic Market 2007 #29 Volkswagen Beetle 4 each for the Domestic Market JLWFAN 03-11-2007, 05:42 PM also if it were on top scalpers would have field day!! those guys don't need anymore help!! DCPDGUY 03-14-2007, 10:55 PM Cool wish I could get out to try and find some of these. dockchecker 03-15-2007, 01:52 PM these are the ones that i found http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/dockchecker/100_0059.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/dockchecker/100_0058.jpg chriscobbs 03-15-2007, 02:08 PM What does that say on the windshield? MudSlinger 03-15-2007, 02:27 PM It says "Matchbox 2000" The logo was printed in different locations on different castings. Many on the windshield, but others had them on the trunks or back of the vehicle. I tried to get all of them in 2000 since my oldest son was born in 2000 and I wanted to save them for him along with his set of 2000 f/e hot wheels and 2000 hunts. I did get all the 2000 f/e hot wheels, but only found two hunts, and about half of the Matchbox 2000 cars. MBohn 03-18-2007, 10:25 AM Thank goodness MB hasn't done a TH-like series again. Mark accobra64 03-31-2007, 03:57 PM In 2000 and again in 2002, I looked through an enormous amount of MB castings on pegs in stores all over the place looking for the logo variations over a long period of time. I was still looking through 2002 stock in 2003, 2004, and 2005 for logo castings. And I actually found a couple in 2005 in different stores. The hunt was NOT very successful. It appeared that regions and even countries only obtained certain castings with logos. I think that it was exremely difficult to put together a set from either year unless you found a lot of trading partners or wanted to spend a vast amount of time searching on OFAS. We didn't get a lot of 2003 MB in Canada because of the over abundance of stock from 2002; so even trying to put together a regular set of 1 - 75 wasn't easy, never mind trying to find logo castings for that year. I still see 2002 castings and Ultra Heroes hanging in some stores. And I haven't seen much in the way of new MBs in stores since last fall. It has been a long dry spell. Cheers. Cobra wlpaul 04-07-2007, 12:32 AM If anyone needs any of the MB 2000 as well as the Gold Challenges for their sets,...PM me the #'s you need. Anyone find any of those autos yet? Lightningrick 04-07-2007, 09:17 AM great read lolaz28 04-07-2007, 11:21 AM yeah that is a wealth of information thanks guys lolaz28 kenpooro 04-07-2007, 08:51 PM The models to look for are: Pkg yr. # Vehicle Destination 2007 #6 Mini Cooper 4 each for the International Market 2007 #15 Nissan 350Z 3 each for the Domestic Market 2007 #25 Porsche Cayenne 5 for the International Market 2006/7 #1/#5 Golf GT (red/black) 6 Domestic/10 International Markets 2007 #20 Mercedes CLS500 3 each for the Domestic Market 2007 #54 Tractor 5 each for the Domestic Market 2007 #29 Volkswagen Beetle 4 each for the Domestic Market Do you mean by these quantities that there is a total of 40 signed cars overall? If so I guess the chances are quite slim... chriscobbs 04-08-2007, 09:06 AM Do you mean by these quantities that there is a total of 40 signed cars overall? If so I guess the chances are quite slim... Yes. I copied this information directly from one of the people that signed the cards. wlpaul 04-20-2007, 01:03 AM any found yet with autos? MoparWL 04-21-2007, 11:16 AM I've got a full set of the MB 2000 logo cars. After I finished the set, I found a lot of 60 on the bay for $45 shipped so I guess I am making a second set. Only need 25 or so to complete the second set. Its sort of nice collecting something thats sort of rare that no one else seems to want.

Only need 25 or so to complete the second set. I am still trying to finish my first set.
