Awesome! I'll be getting a bunch of the Police Explorer, as well as the R8!

Edit: That Mini Cooper also ain't bad. It might go into my collection.

No, but the challenge is beating their radios not their SUVs. ;)

Support your local demo derby.

The Audi looks pretty nice. What batch is the Dodge Monaco police car in?

Yeah, that Audi is stellar. As far as I'm concerned, it may be the best release yet. Now to find one. I'll be getting that Cayenne, as well.

It's that UNPAINTED "soft" plastic body they changed it to. It absorbs light like a pencil eraser, instead of reflecting it, like the painted models.

The Audi, Porsche, Mini and Explorer all look fantastic. Like models from back in the days when Mattel was cranking out hit after hit after hit, and people weren't compelled to bash Matchbox at every turn.

The MB Ford Explorer looks pretty good in the police tampo and I will add it to my police collection when I find it.

Zach, it is in the last batch, Batch P.

It is on eBay if you want to see a picture of it in its packaging.

I never have seen the Porsche turbo. :( Has anybody else seen them in the wild?

I have seen a few of the Porsche Cayenne at 2 different Walmarts.
The one I still haven't been able to find from this batch, is the Ford Explorer.

Uh, Batch N?

Almost every store around here only has batch F.

I like the Explorer, and will be getting it as soon as the batch reaches stores around here.

I picked up the Cayenne at Toys R Us. Wheels are a bit large, but it's not that bad.

Yeah, either way it is a little awkward. The smaller 5-spokes would be too small, and the larger ones slightly choke the wheel arches, but I do prefer the larger ones.

I do have to say MB has kicked it up several steps. I have purchased more this year than I have the last 5 years...
