View Full Version : Finally found a green Bronco!!
tamiyatim 12-05-2007, 03:30 PM went to Target, there were about 20 cars left on the pegs...
Low and behold, the Green Bronco!! Right up in front!! Hooray!!!
I swear, every Treasure Hunt or great car I've found has always been at target, right on the first peg, just sitting there, staring at me..
I must have good timing or something....
WLRay 12-05-2007, 06:16 PM Found it today TRU....

JasonZ 12-05-2007, 09:55 PM I still have yet to find any of the green cars here
jedimario 12-05-2007, 10:10 PM Sweet, the paint really stands out in that pic.
montegogt 12-07-2007, 11:20 AM I'll probably find one in Feb.
JasonZ 12-07-2007, 08:14 PM I'll probably find one in Feb.
I wonder is MB will still be doing Green cars then
dockchecker 12-07-2007, 09:49 PM i found one today at target. very nice i think.
jimgallegos 12-08-2007, 09:07 PM The Green models will be just as easy to find as any other model. The numbers are the same and it is not a Treasure Hunt as some rumours have stated. They are just part of the standard runs.

They are standard runs, however the 'for profit' "collectors" have been scarfing them up in many areas and tricking people into believing these are ultra-rare matchbox chase pieces, and sadly it has been working. Much like many of the JL wheel variations have been misidentified by sellers as white lightnings. These people are just making the 55th anniversary cars that much harder to find.
On a side note, I did get my green bronco last night at Target
JasonZ 12-08-2007, 09:59 PM I think the collectors here MUST think they are rare... I went to stores on various occasions with FULL pegs and its missing 2 or 1 cars everytime. ( I'm guessing the green anniversary cars)
stlkikn 12-08-2007, 11:57 PM We still haven't gotten the blue issue up here!!
I think we are four waves behind the US....
Diecast Camaro Collector 12-09-2007, 09:59 PM Found 2 today, a austin mini van, and a lexus gs430...could of had a bronco a few days ago but didn't want to wait in the long lines so I hid it,but apparently not well enough.:mad:
MattGTO 12-09-2007, 10:43 PM found one at Target a couple days ago. I think the inexperienced collectors consider them GM's so that's why they get eaten up so fast.
markkaz 12-10-2007, 10:43 AM I finally found a green Bronco too. very nice!
matchboxtom 12-10-2007, 02:13 PM I went to Rite Aid for an RX. They had 4 MB on the pegs. I took the green bronco and mini home. Hurray!!
roys1659 12-11-2007, 12:26 AM had the same luck at target.....green bronco hanging right up frt...everything around it picked clean.....guess green isnt everyones color. :wave:
GO-GTO 12-16-2007, 03:21 PM Finally, after weeks of looking I found a green 55th Bronco last week at K-mart!!!!!!!
The pegs were overflowing with MB cars that day and after a careful search I uncovered it!
JasonZ 12-16-2007, 06:32 PM saw 4 green bronco today! Picked up 2
slythorne 12-17-2007, 05:32 AM I still have yet to see the greenies here in WA. I haven't seen the white hearse either! And I have hit a few stores where it looks like the cases were just put out. Found some 08's today including the power lift and '50s delivery. Left the rest.
JasonZ 12-17-2007, 06:51 PM They are coming by the boatload here!
slythorne 12-22-2007, 04:27 PM I finally got my first green bronco yesterday, and my first white hearse :) :) :)
I was there when the stockperson put out the case... kinda odd, only one hearse, two green bronco's, no other greens. I think there was three of the '68 Cougars tho.
montegogt 12-22-2007, 07:02 PM Found two Thursday at noon and left one on the pegs, saw four more today when I found the Cougar, the Charger, the 55 Ford Panel, the Magnum Sherrif patrol, and the Water Department Van. Also saw two more of the 55th anv. MB 747-400, but left them hanging for others.
Suprisingly I also found my second HW super TH of the year, an Evil Twin Caddy.
k-mart here has put out 4 cases in 2 days. 12 hearses. blue buses, all kinds of green 55th anniversary cars and broncos. all the cars and trucks is see on matchbox thread have been there.
rarew30 12-22-2007, 10:16 PM I too found a green Bronco at Target! never thought I would find one!
DiecastKrazy 12-22-2007, 10:29 PM Not meaning to sound against his awesome find and whatnot ... but ive seen plenty of these and dont get me wrong i DO collect the I-75 cars , but i dont see what all the big hype is about these ? They said they are NOT treausre hunts !! Please give me some info here , trust me im looking for some . Heck i dont know what to think about these !!!!!!!!!!
slythorne 12-23-2007, 04:46 AM The big hype for me is that everyone else got theirs a month or more ago... and I like Bronco's :P
77bronco_ed 01-25-2008, 11:00 PM I have extra green and blue's if any ones needs them... looking for purple.
