Actually, they are not chase models. Right now they are short packed, but they are regular releases, not chase models.

The 3 emerald green 55th Anniversay models are all standard issue models. The 2007 series is made up of 75 models, with 25 of these receiving 2 different color schemes during their run. The 1965 Austin Mini Van and Lexus GS430 were released in the latest batch, and a 1972 Ford Bronco will join them in the next batch released. however, all 3 of these models are 100% guaranteed to be just as widely produced as all the other models in the basic range. Expect the 1965 Austin Mini Van to be included in all the rest of the batches released in 2007, with the Ford Bronco finishing in batches in early 2008.

These are not hunt/chase vehicles in any sense of the word. Matchbox simply decided to show tribute to the fact that it is 55 years since the first Matchbox model was made.

Havent found any either, full pegs but no 55th Aniv. I think guys are thinking they can make a quick buck with these and grabbing everyone they find.

I found both of these early on, but after mistaken listings on epay that these were MB chase cars I haven't seen one on the pegs since. Makes me think the scalper hoarders are snarfing them all up along with their 100's of T-hunts.
