Released in 2000, here's the special 'logo' version.

It did get a Blues Clues deco in a 5-pack

I also have a black version that came in a little Haunted Castle adventure set.

But MBXForum has a metallic green one listed. It sure seems familiar but I can't place it. Anybody got a pic?

Well, this model finally got another deco. It is in a Spongebob 5-pack.

I wish they would use it in a single pack again so that I won't have
to strip all of these for a cutsoms project!

The green one was a part of the Coal Cars packs in 2006.

I do not have an individual shot of it, but I had this one that I took in November 2006 for my MICA report at the time. It shows the exclusives that were found inside.

:) :D :p

Ahhhhh..... Thank you! I knew I had one, not sure where it is at the moment, but I definitely have it because it's the only one that I HAD TO HAVE from that holiday offering.

Really cool thread. . . . Really wish MB would do another stock version of this one. Here's one from 2000 that I have.

Excellent casting from MB that's going on nearly 10 years old now.

Being a Postal Worker (Mailhandler), I really wanted that piece. I could never find it. I went with my friend to Mexico to check out his house. We went to a department store and of course, I had to check out the diecast. Apparently, the USPS Postal Truck wasn't very popular down there because all of these were hanging in one store!

Not any more! :woohoo:
