Matchbox on TV!; Wendy's Pretzel-Bun Chicken

So, I was watching some Top Gear on TV, trying to pass some time before South park aired, and this Wendy's commercial came on. It was the same old hum-drum, but then I noticed something.

In this commercial, everyone is so "shocked" by the "awesomeness" of the pretzel-bun chicken sandwich thingy, that they don't pay attention to what they are doing. One man is stapling his tie to some papers, one girl is filling soap in her cup, and one man is pouring water on his desk, but more importantly, on some Matchboxes!

Have a look!

The full shot:

Closer...can you point them out yet?

Here's the closeup of the cars on his desk:

All the way to the right is MB402 Denis Sabre from the 2013 EMT 5-pack. Two over from that is the brand-new MB882 All-Terrain Crane from the 60th Anniversary line!

Then, on the left-hand side, there is MB598 Ambulance also from the 2013 EMT 5-pack , and MB817 Ford F-550 Super Duty Mini Pumper from the 2013 Mainline:

Those are the only models that I could recognize, but if you can label the others, let me know! I love reading posts about people finding Matchbox on TV, and I'm glad to say that I've now done it myself.

Nice one, Wendy's!

Good to know thanks! Never seen the ad, I always flip channels during commercials, but now I'm going to keep a look out for this one.
