then I will go to the evilbay must have.

Good Luck - they can still be found there.

I wanted a Blue one, but I have a serious problem paying $50+ for a $.99 Toy

Plus I think the side (chrome) trim and the tramp stamp on the rear decklid just look dumb

I got a blue one for $35. Had to have it. I hate the tramp stamp, but it is part of a collection.

Yes, your right, but serious collectors will pay this and even more and unfortunately people make a living off this stuff who buy all them up and sell them at huge profits.....too bad

I bid on one of the blue cars and gave up after 35 dollars...

So how about the mustard yellow cars....are these only available in the box sets? The guy on ebay is selling his as a LOOSE car so I am thinking he bought the box set and is selling the lonely 914 to make back his money.....so this would seem to be an authentic car from Matchbox, has anybody found or seen one in a single package like the green ones?

Found this interesting clip relating to these cars on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je836-hp3dM

But other than that here's a view of the bottom of the yellow "mustard" 914.

Hey fellow Teeners! I just spotted the new Mustard Yellow variant of the 914 as well... I bet all of you it's about one month before we see it on the pegs in the typical single pack.

Why do I say this... I've noticed all sorts of other Mattel cars; (i.e. Hotwheels) can show up 1-2 months before they're supposed to in the 10 pack and more often 2-pack assortments. Such as the 2011 Hot Wheels metallic green Tesla Roadster I picked up well before it came out on a single card... which is just now starting to trickle into stores.

I'm just excited the 914 is being produced in 4 full line colors versus the 2 they originally forecasted!

I'm on the same page as many of you with the blue convention exclusive 914; it's no doubt collectable but the big painted logo on the trunk isn't very factory 914... and if Matchbox keeps up at this rate we'll all have a full assortment of factory colored 914s within 3 years!

I found 6 more at the local grocery store on an end cap. I had never noticed toys for sale at a grocery store before. On top of that some little jerk had put all six together so I didn't have to spend 7 minutes, as a 35 year-old, standing in front of kids toys and knocking down the cars in front to get to the 914s in the back. Oh and when you see one in the back that is the right colour and you push your hand to the back, knock 5 packages on the floor and it turns out to be a different car altogether...

True.

And if you have a 3 yr old like I do, all of them will end up rusted out in the back yard with weeds growing up around them... like your personal AA lot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (j/k)

No way, I buy them all. Some day they will be worth something (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I plan to customize some, give away others at events over the next few years when they are NLA, etc.
