is this considered the mainline stuff or a separte product like the super fasts. Thanks in advance Earle

Matchbox 1-75 is used most often to describe the regular 1 dollar cars.

But in 2008 there will be 100 models.

100 models but isn't it actually 75 with 25 receiving a second paint job?

wow 75 new models..cool...

makes sense now, thanks earle

According to the Ambassador report, there will be 100 models for 2008.

Enough new castings to keep everyone happy. I'm glad someone(mfg) stepped up to the plate after JL went south with some great diecast at even better prices.

WOOHOO! More doubledeckers!

Impreza Police sounds pretty interesting!

Great numver of VWs! And 3 new ones to boot! I'm stoked! I would have loved to see the Honda Element make a comeback too.

Have to wait and see if that Chevy Stepside is just borrowed from Hot Wheels or not... But the F-100 Delivery, '69 Caddy, and THING are going to be must-haves :) Maybe the Mazda 2 and Citroen as well.

Have to wait and see if that Chevy Stepside is just borrowed from Hot Wheels or not...

It's Not.

I'm glad to see that my Avalanche will appear again in the basic lineup.

Matchbox and HW do not share tools now or ever. This is due to HW's not being up to MB's standards.

What I meant was in the style of, similar overall 'customized' 'lowrider' look, or if it would look like a real unaltered workhorse truck.

the list sounds great... did miss it or is the bucket truck on the list or is it gone?

....it would look like a real unaltered workhorse truck.

It does.
