Two things to report or ask

#1) Is there a new color out now for the matchbox 914? Perhaps a very dark green color?

#2) They have just been released in Japan throught the Walmart subsidary shops in Japan AKA Seiyu.....I bought 2 of them in the newer slightly brighter green....but the backing cards are totally different than the US versions and quite a bit smaller too....interesting!!

Seem to be different versions for various parts around the world

I can post pics of my collection of US, Canada and Japan versions if needed

Naaa, I picked up 2 more today. Little hint for you, Kroger is carrying them now.

I also saw 4 in one store in those blasted multipacks.

************** ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!! ****************

You heard it here first, the second official color of the 2010 Matchbox 914 is just now hitting shelves! In what color you ask? Drumroll please..... a very dark green, can anyone say 1970-72 "Irish Green"?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.autofiends.com-11536-1277801562.1.jpg)

(also I say 2nd official color because the very light green batch that came out first doesn't match those in the neon-green color was not an intentional color varience)

This is great news given your chances of finding a neon green Matchbox 914 from the Feb-March release are next to none unless you find it in the ten pack or your store is hiding old stock. Before you get too excited this dark green 914 is early enough in this batches release that it would only be in 10% of stores at best so you've got a week or two before they really start showing up. They are out there though so I'm eager for whoevers first to take a photo beside the other two green 914 colors.

Some of you may be cringing slightly like myself because you were hoping for a Bahia Red, Signal Orange, or Metallic Silver shade rather than another green but this seems to be a pretty popular casting so I'd bet there's a 3rd color in the works before 2010 is up, or at least I'd hope! Still 914 Irish Green is cool!

By my estimates I could use 10 of these buggers so I'd better get looking! Need more 914s to swap wheels on.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Matchbox always has three color releases. Every one I own, I have all three colors. Thats one of the reasons why the wife gets upset with me when I buy three of each!

Ok Boyz,

Kenny's been stalking the diecast cars and have made some finds.

Here is how it worked. I completely forget about the Delorean, and one night I see one at the stoplight. Two weeks later I'm in the Wallymart and decide to check the cars....

There was this really realistically looking Delorean....

And, this way cool Mustang Concept car from 1962. Wonder what car in 1969 used that rollbar shape????

Oh yeah, now I know how the EBayers get their cars. They must have restocked the cars just before I walked in. The entire front of the Matchbox cars was covered with what must have been 20 each of the Deloreans and the Mustangs, and a blue Maverick. Two days later, all but one of the Mustangs were gone.

Muwahahahaha! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) While I had originally intended to go about my days as usual until the new 914s came around I was grocery shopping at Meijer when I stumbled upon the new lot of Matchbox which includes the Irish Green 914!!!

It seems there are only 2 per crate and 1 crate per store but after a trip to 2nd location I netted 3! WOOT. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) You could tell other folks had torn apart the area looking for other models but skipped over this air cooled machine! Needless to say very few people in my region will even know this 914 exists once I gobble them all up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

An original photo I just took for everyone to gawk at; note all 3 current colors of 914s, 1 with custom wheels off a HotWheels VW Scirocco race car and other assorted Matchbox that are from the last year but not new to this lot.

Nice score! May I ask what retailer you found these at? I'm going to need to find at least another 1 or 2 before I can justify popping a few open to swap wheels n such!
