NO TH, These are showing up at Wal Mart in the latest batch. Another very nice design by Ryu Asada on the model and Michael Heralda on the paint scheme.

I stopped at WAL*MART the last couple of days, but didn't have any luck finding one.

I just found one tonight at Wally's. I also picked up the Black Citroen and orange VW Bus. Passed on a couple others like the new Dune Buggy. There was also one green Bronco I passed on since I already have it, but I still have yet to see the other 3 green cars :(

THere are only 2 other green cars. THe Austin Mini and the Lexus. The 55th Airplane is not green. The models you picked up are the latest castings and very attractive.

I was going to post about that gold Routemaster bus to get some info. I picked one up at a WM a couple of weeks ago - got it set aside for a fellow collector.
I also picked up that black Citroen DS - very nicely done, especially for a buck! :cool:

No gold, but I did find a BLUE one last night with 60s-style "MATCHBOX" lettering on the side - like the real ones Lesney used to transport employees to the plant at Lee Conservancy Road (Hackney Wick?)

I had been looking halfheartedly for several months, and finally I got one!
