Hi Guys, walked into my local WM here in Lebanon, TN and the latest batch was on the pegs! They all look great! They should hit back home in central PA soon!

The Mustang and two fire trucks are nice. The green Ford sure is bright! Great to see the Toyota SUV back in stock colors. Hope that still has the tampos on it.

Ah, the red GT/CS is a Mix L? I picked it up today, because I knew I would regret it if I didn't. Is anyone else going to be picking it up? I think the GT/CS is one of the nicest Matchbox cars. In red, it looks ready for a cruise at the beach.

Red Mustang and the Land Cruiser are must-haves! The Hazmat truck looks good enough to get, and the fire engine is a maybe. The rest, including the Ford Fire truck, do not move me.

Thanks for sharing the picture.

I just saw most of these. Mustang was gone. Was gonna get the 2 fire trucks but lines were WAY TOO LONG for just those 2. I was hoping the Buick was in this mix... :(

Yeah, I'm in the same boat on the above four (the only exception is the Ford fire truck's a must have for me).

I just hate that they went with white for the back end...

They need more classics like the Mustang. My HW muscle cars and smog-era sports cars demand their wheels as sacrifices.

That probably will never happen with this casting as doing so would require the bumpers, taillights, and grill to be black too- it's all one piece.

And that's precisely why it is a pass for me. I have a couple older, better looking versions already, and won't need to add a mostly white-plastic one to my personal mix.

No problem! :D

I'll definitely pick-up the Terrain Trouncer because it's new model, and I always collect all 20 new models of the year. I have 8 of the new models so far, with the Seagrave being the most elusive of all of them, because everyone picks it up due to its beauty. The Mustang GT/CS . . . . . . :o What a looker! The Pierce Dash looks good too, mostly because I'm a sucker for those hub capped wheels. The Hazard Squad looks good too, so I'll most likely snatch up that one too. I like the Ford F-550 (It's those rims!!! :D ) and the Tractor Shovel as well. The rest, ehh, not my favorites. Don't get me wrong, the Toyota FJ Cruiser looks stellar, but I already have a blue one and they look nearly identical. That Jungle Crawler though, even I don't like that lime green interior. Oh, and one more thing. I read that there are ONLY 38 MODELS LEFT!!! That means there are going to be 10 new models in the next 2 or three batches!! Hopefully the 2012 Ford Utility Police Interceptor ("Explorer") and the 2012 Dodge Charger Pursuit show up sooner than later!

Thanks for posting the pics! I am still getting adjusted to this sight. I may try to incorporate my case reports on here besides MBOX community.

What Buick? I got to open up a case today and only picked up the Mustang.

A great looking release set. I will need to find the three fire models.
