In looking at this page for a reference list:

I got the Go Rolla in a trade.

I don't believe that I have these:
MB5 Pound Hound
MB8 Mixopotamus

But I have several Space Buggies. But now I'm confused.
Where did the Space Buggy come from? I have it on the card.
I know the Go Rolla was not available in the U.S. (got it) but
now that I check my Matchbox pegboard, sorry it's dusty,
but where the heck do this fit in? Anybody have a list of these
(despised) models?

Oh yeah, I got a bass school bus somewhere too!
Here's some more dusty BP's!

If I wasn't clear above, anybody got a list of new
millenium fantasy models?

Okay, the Ultra Heros (as these were officially known) were launched in 2004. They were also canceled in 2004 due to poor sales (thankfully). When you look at the list, you actually need to look at 2 different lists; the US list and ROW list. Basically, the US long cards received 30 brand new Hero City Ultra Heros in 2004, but the ROW small card range only received 15 of those (filling up the other 15 spaces with Porsches and Lotuses, and Ford Transits, and Bucket Trucks and other realistic vehicles.

The US list had the first 30 numbers of the 75 range whereas the ROW range had the first 15. These are the models using the US numbers, including the ROW reference for the 15 that appeared in both ranges). There were no ROW exclusives.

MB1 Whistle Car (police car that looked like a whistle)
MB2 (ROW MB2) Badge Car (police car that looked like a sherrif badge)
MB3 (ROW MB1) Squawkie-Talkie (police car that looked like a walkie-talkie)
MB4 (ROW MB3) Fire Freezer (fire extinguisher on wheels)
MB5 (ROW MB4) Flame Chopper (fire engine with huge axe on top)
MB6 Max Tractor (tractor with a hat on top)
MB7 Milk Moo-ver (tanker truck in the shape of a cow)
MB8 Q.B. Roller (vehicle that looked like a US football)
MB9 Bass Bus (school bus that looked like a fish)
MB10 J.R. Bumper (vehicle in the shape of a funfair dodgems car)
MB11 (ROW MB6) Dragonfly Helicopter (helicopter in the shape of a dragonfly)
MB12 Grasshopper Tow Truck (tow truck in the shape of a grasshopper)
MB13 Snail Truck (delivery truck in the shape of a snail)
MB14 Web Wheeler (4-wheeler that looked like a spider's web with spider)
MB15 Litter Bug (garbage truck in the shape of a cockroach)
MB16 Rhino Dump Truck (dump truck with a rhino front)
MB17 (ROW MB7) Rumble Dozer (bulldozer with a bull front)
MB18 (ROW MB8) Mixapotamus (cement mixer with a hippo front)
MB19 (ROW MB10) Go-Rolla (roadl roller with a gorilla front)
MB20 Jumbo Sweeper (road sweeper with an elephant front)
MB21 (ROW MB9) Mush Puppy (snow vehicle that looked like a St. Bernard dog)
MB22 Pound Hound (demolition vehicle that looked like a bulldog)
MB23 Lock Boxer (armored truck that looked like a boxer dog)
MB24 Huski-Patrol (ski jet that looked like a husky dog)
MB25 Space Buggy (lunar vehicle with a hat on)
MB26 (ROW MB11) Police Hat (police car with a hat on)
MB27 (ROW MB12) Military Helmet (miltary vehicle with a hat on)
MB28 (ROW MB13) Hot Head (fire engine with a hat on)
MB29 (ROW MB14) Rig Digger (digger with a hat on)
MB30 (ROW MB15) Cap n Cop (police motorcycle with a hat on)

The only thing that caused a problem with the US collectors was the immediate deletion of all Ultra Heros as soon as the 2005 series started. Basically, the last batch of 2004 had the final 6 releases of Ultra Heros in the long cards, and these were only ever produced for that one batch. The first batch of 2005 had no Ultra Heros in it. However, USA itself did not get the last batch of 2004. In an unusual twist of fate, they jumped from the second to last batch of 2004 straight to the first batch of 2005. Australia, South America and other markets that took (what we refer to as) US long cards did get the last batch of 2004 and did get these 6 models. Out of these 6 models, 5 were long cards exclusives yet luckily were found in USA itself as a part of a 20-pack. The other model (Go-Rolla) was not included in the 20-pack either, but was to be found in ROW small cards (which were more common to find than US long cards outside of USA). This is why collectors in USA found the Go-Rolla to be the most difficult to track down.

:) :D :p

MB7 Milk Moo-ver (tanker truck in the shape of a cow)

Oh yeah! That was another cool one! I got it somewhere too.
I got the Go-Rolla from Jonathan in Australia. I checked my emails
and he helped me with the QB Roller and Jumbo Sweeper. I got a
couple extra of each of those so maybe they will helm me trade
for these if I don't find them.

MB22 Pound Hound (demolition vehicle that looked like a bulldog)

And not much goes to waste. On this page (http://www.matchbox1-75.com/2004.asp) I'm spotting a few castings that survive until today in different colours and with different wheels.
