For those who don't know the German Matchbox site is regularly kept current where the US site pretty much remains ignored (Bad Mattel!).

But for pictures of 2009 Models (not all are US release but most will be), here is the 2009 model year link: http://www.matchbox.de/index.php?cid=ata

It would be nice if the moderator for this forum would create a 'sticky' with the URL's for the various Matchbox sites as a reference.

Matchbox Germany (home): http://www.matchbox.de/
Matchbox US (always 8-12 months obsolete) http://www.matchbox.com
Matchbox UK (appears to link back to obsolete US site): http://www.matchbox.co.uk/

thanks buddy! matchbox usa needs to step up!!!
