Thank you for the pictures!

H Code: I will get the brown Jeep, Street Sweeper, blue Suburban, black BMW Z4 and the yellow pickup.

J Code: I will get both of the Lotus models and the green Civic.

Some decent cars here....just nothing jaw-dropping that stirs up any excited anticipation.

Wow!! See, what did I tell you guys? I knew tons of models would jam the pegs in the coming weeks! There are still about 7 or 8 New Models to come too, such as the 2012 Dodge Charger Pursuit and 2012 Ford Utility Police Interceptor ("Explorer") and I can't wait for those........ :D

Well, as for the new batches, noticed that the Frost Fighter is indeed not orange like in the Ambassador Report, but a deep red. I think this is a really cool model that's really different than any other snow machine I've ever seen! The Oshkosh M-ATV looks fantastic! Ryu Asada can perfectly model anything from a low slung sports car to a truck used in our military! The BMW Z4 Coupe looks great, and I'm glad that Matchbox has finally made amends with BMW. The Jeep Willy's looks great in that brown, with a simple security or ranger livery. The Ridge Raider looks like it's made for kids, definitely not my cup of tea! I don't really like the light blue metallic used on the Street Sweeper, it looks just like that 2009 Mazda 2 that was infamous for being a massive pegwarmer. The MBX 4x4, also looks like it's for kids. However, that Chevy Stepside looks absolutely brilliant in that bright yellow with the black striped on the side. The Chevy Suburban looks good too! That Purple Boat is... um...interesting to say the least, but the Lotus Exige and Honda Civic Type R make up for it! The Lotus Europa looks fantastic, and I will definitely pick up the Foam Fire Truck because the model hasn't been in the line for years. Overall, a good way to almost end the 2012 model Year!

The BMW Z4 Coupe looks great.
That Z4 is a Roadster (not even a convertible), and definitely not a coupe.
I'll be getting the Z4 because - 1) Because it's a Z4. 2) It looks beautiful in black with those wheels. 3) And, it's an old returnee. I'll also be getting the Exige. That one looks good too.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
Thanks for the pics and sneak peek! I still haven't found the previous batch yet! As mbx64 said, it looks like we're going to get flooded with a bunch of batches all at once.

I think the reason that one was a pegwarmer was less because of the color and more because of the fact it was a Mazda 2. The street sweeper is something I would normally pass on but I'll grab this one- I'm a sucker for this shade of blue.

I plan on picking up the exact ones Dean's planning on. I will get the Oshkosh when they release it in a better color scheme...something that doesn't have such loud graphics on a vehicle that should be stealthy.

D'oh!!! I wasn't paying attention. You're right too, it's a roadster because it's a two seater. I really shouldn't stay up past midnight! :wacko:
