Mine would have to be the 72' FORD BRONCO, The HEARSE, and the HIWAY HAULER :thumbsup:

The Alfa, hearse, and the Austin van in that order.
Otherwize it's 38 year old or older MBs for me! :thumbsup:

I like your bus pic, Tone!

Anybody found the new double decker bus in blue? Or the hearse in White? What about the Bently coupe? These should be real beauty's when they show up!

Theres a blue doubledecker?

I will answer this question once the MB3 Porsche 911GT3 is released in the last batch of the year. I have seen the preproduction of this one and it is a gorgeous looking machine. The older 911 Turbo from recent years is my current favorite casting by Mattel, but this new one has surpassed that one.

:) :D :p

I found the blue one ---- AND ONLY ONE!! It is done nice ---- It has Matchbox toys on the side

I just found the Alfa and the 72 Bronco today at Wal-mart .

nice find

I'd go with the Alfa myself. It is so hard to pick since MB has really turned things around in the last two years.

the alfa is one of my favs this year too

Bentley coupe?!
Is it a model of an oldie or some modern thing?

The new Bronco casting get my vote!

It is the current Bentley Continental GT. Matchbox spent over 2 years working with Bentley in getting the model just how Bentley wanted it to be. Bentley have never given a licence to any other toy manufacturer for a model of one of their current road vehicles in this scale before, so this is really big for Matchbox. Believe me, Matchbox had to work hard to get this one. I was at Mattel in El Segundo in February 2006 at the 2006 line preview looking at some of the failed attempts to get the Bentley licence. Bentley are sticklers for making the model look as perfect as possible.

:) :D :p

Thats gonna be a good one I hope

i will be the hearse if i get one & the austin mini van

the alfa
the jag
the 70's van
the not-yet released sand buggy
the plowmaster 6000 (if it had a plow :(

Thanks - I wish all manufacturers were that strict.
Although we'll see when it comes out - I can't imagine it looking that great with any of the wheels MB offers. The wheels make the car after all as they say! :thumbsup:

I picked up Two Bentley GT's yesterday, Opened one. Its one of the models and didnt know it was out, So kinda caught me off gaurd :thumbsup:

Also the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA is very nice :cool:
