I think the last I remeber is in 2000 when the cars where stamped with the 200 logo

 

[Lpgeoteacher]

That is the last that I have heard of too

 

[CTWLSMIKE]

They had other not as successful attempts in 2001 with cars stamped with a 50th anniversary logo and in 2002 or 2003 with a Hero City logo. Many were impossible to find if not non-existent. Too bad they don't do it any longer. It was somewhat fun to do.

They had the 75 Challenge cars in 1999 was it? All gold paint and a box kinda like the superfasts, but they were randomly mixed in with regular cases. I have about 30 or so, sometime Id like to fill in the missing holes

I have a gaggle (translation: a few) of the Matchbox 2000 logo cars if anyone is interested...e or pm me...

They do now for the 2007 line. 2 of the matchbox designers went to the factory and autographed a bunch of the blister cards. The factory is shipping these right now,so these blisters will truly be collectables.

cant wait for those!!!!!!!!!!!!

I checked on the 75 challenge...it was 1997, not 1999

 

[chriscobbs]

That is a really cool idea. I wonder if all of the 2007 cars will have this or just the upcoming release.

 

[sschevyman1]

This will not be all the releases.......

 

[chriscobbs]

This will not be all the releases.......

I was thinking that, but hoping it would be for all.

I think its pretty smart...stays protected, and if it were at the top there'd be fakes

 

[wlpaul]

Anybody found one of these yet. Are these out now?

 

[chriscobbs]

I haven't seen any on e-pay yet, so I would assume they aren't out yet.
