Certainly, I've posted 2 of the Exclusive Editions 10-Pack with the Mustard Yellow 914 to Austria last year, and hand delivered a Bright Yellow 914 from the 5-pack to Nagoya Japan this summer so Australia shouldn't be a problem. Would you like 2 of them or just 1? I imagine the shipping won't be super cheap, and I'm re-selling them at cost ($5 each) so buying 2 would make it more worthwhile. Send me a PM with how many you want, your shipping address, and preferred shipping method/carrier and I'll get back to you with a shipping estimate and PayPal email address.

Thanks to Jamie (nsr-jamie) in Japan for keying me in on this new model while I was in Japan or I'd have never been able to snipe them off every shelf in the region! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm posting 2 of the Hot Wheels teener to him as well since this model won't be available internationally or so I've read.

Oh, and I'm expecting my next international adventure to be in New Zealand and perhaps a bit of Australia as soon as next year so be sure to key me in on any Porsche or auto events!?

I received a number of PMs after my post so I went and bought the 3 I saw stocked yesterday and took a chance to visit 3 other locations and they'd all been stocked with their 1 & only shipment of this batch today! So, I now have 12 from today. (+3 of my own acquired earlier) Though it seems about 6 may already be spoken for. Do you really want any I have left? I may hold onto 2-3 for the upcoming inaugural Rallye Porsche Mariemont event in Cincinnati for fellow 914 World members that show.

Yes sir - I love to hand them out to visitors - but make sure you are covered first. We don't have the chain stores here that might carry them.

Thanks for doing this.

You're welcome, the 914-6 stocks here have mostly dried up in stores, and all but a few of those I acquired have since been shipped around the world! Now we wait for a 2nd color to be released?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

New 914 diecast is in stores folks... while the far from authentic 914-6 design is a bit suspect, I figured I'd add it to the thread for those interested.

Also of interest... it's $100.00! Well, to be specific is 1 of 5 exclusive cars only available in a 30-car set sold exclusively at Wal-Mart for $100.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.hotwheelscollectors.com-11536-1353008277.1.jpg)

Also available online: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hot-Wheels-Boule...-of-30/21777254

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.walmartimages.com-11536-1353008278.2.jpg)

Lastly, and of more interest and relevance to this thread; confirmed for 2013 is a new color of the Matchbox Porsche 914 seen the last few years in various shades of green, yellow, orange, red, and the elusive blue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Eight different 9-car packs will be released during 2013, each with 8 regular cars & 1 exclusive painted car, and 1 of these will be the 1972 914... when it will hit shelves is uncertain, anywhere between 1 and 12 months from now? So keep an eye out and post here if you see it! Perhaps it's time for an ivory white model?

Though, it also seems there will only be basic decals limited to the top side of each exclusive car, including a "60th Anniversary" logo somewhere on the top of the 914 like what's seen on the Austin Cooper below. So the absence of painted tail lights & "914" badge on the back is certain.

Most of the shops near me, (wally world, TRU, etc) only ever seem to have 1 or 2 matchbox cars in stock, the rest are all HotWheels. I figured the brand was dying.

Looks like i need to find a blue one.
I don't think I'll be spending $100 for the green HW. Their model is really wonky... Like what a 914 would look like to someone that had never seen one.

Yep, a combination of Mattel cutting back on Matchbox $ (in production volume, design, and licensing $ for real autos) and stores with slow moving inventory could lead one to that assumption. I read the Lesney 914 was in the last batch of steel chassis Matchbox with the upcoming '60th' series having plastic bases.

I agree, if I had a green 914 I might be more compelled to obtain one but yes, it's a bit of a circus freak... Looks like 1 is available at this instant for $15+ shipping on ebay for anyone interested!

OK so I was able to get one of the weird green cars out of the set. I would like to unpackage one of the orange Boulevard cars and reseal the green one in its place. Can anyone tell me how this is done?

Thank you
