No luck on the orange ones in the Mid-Atlantic. I have a shit-ton of light green, a metric shit-ton of dark green, and a handful of Lesneys. I'll bring some to Hershey.

I haven't seen any Orange models in Kansas yet - but my searching is casual.

Good luck - I'm sure they will show up.

Bummer - I responded within a minute or two - hoping to catch you. Winds are screaming here - very nearly Hurricane force straight line - it's SPRING for Pete's Sake!

Glad you are safe - cheers!

Stopped at local Walgreens and found this Mercedes transporter. Now I have a way to move around my classic toys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I must have gotten Lucky when I found an Orange a few weeks ago, because I've been searching since and haven't found another. I have never seen a Lesney in a Store, just friggin Lotus Europas.

Same here, TC. I found some orange ones on a trip to GA but still no Lesneys. The local Walmarts STILL have a bunch of Europas and nothing else. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I'm visiting my new grandaughter (my sons 3rd) in the UK and of course, had to search for the Matchbox/Lesney 914. I found a dark green one and bought it for my 2 yr old grandaughter (my sons 2nd). Here is a pic of the UK packaging

hmm, looks like these are going to be big pix

Very cool! It appears to be the same size package as Japan and Mexico. Is the US the only ones to waste the extra cardboard packaging? It is all about marketing.

I also notice it is #16 of 75 in a series. Same as Japan (16/75) - but the US series is #16 of 100. I wonder what models the US got that the ROW did not - I imagine it is on the Mathcbox website.

To my embarrassment, I've never opened any of the ones I've bought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) so here's some pix out of the box.
