There are some real beauties in there! I have a few of them and see more I would have bought if the stars were properly aligned.

All super nice models! I just love how MB does not do so many generics like HW. That 68 CJ Mustang needs to come back to the mainline.

Fantastic selection of models. Far too many favorites in here to try and pick out just one.

I found a bunch of old cases of mixed diecast cars...29 cases all together. I had completely forgotten having these cases like this, All together there are 4-48 car cases, 20-24 car cases and 5-24 jammer cases, all over flowing with loose cars. Many, many of the slots have 2 cars stuffed in them. These cases are designed to hold 792 cars, but with many slots having double cars in them, I bet there is close to 1,000 cars in this batch I will be photographing and posting... 2 of the 24 cases and 2 of the 48 cases are old Matchbox castings as pictures. Not sure whats all in the others yet, but this is going to be an exciting adventure. I am really STOKED and can't wait to dig into them all...

I always wished they would have done a de-tampoed version of the Probe. I remember when I found they were doing the premium version of it with the "real-riders" tires, I was excited- but they goofed it up by sticking a blown engine on the hood. Great casting that was under-used.

Great collection, back in those days I picked up many of these, all are great Matchbox models.

If you want to count the gold 75 Challenge issue of the Probe, I guess they did one without tampos. :D

Cool collection. I'm glad to see the Probe getting some attention. I had an elementary school teacher who owned a red 2nd gen Probe and always thought they looked real nice.
