Thanks for the info, I was really wondering! That's awesome about the Lesney 914, the all metal construction should be NICE! Seeing as Orange, Yellow, & multiple shades of Green have been utilized already perhaps Bahia Red has a solid chance of ending up on the Lesney model! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Also looking forward to that 1965 Austin Mini Van.

DAMN, I want an orange one!!! Time to plan some time to hit ALL the stores to see if any are available next spring.

That Lensey one is a MUST HAVE!

Strangely, I have found more of the Green ones in Rite-aids and supermarkets than at ANY Target/Walmart/K-Mart/ToysRUs etc.

I logged a lot of seat time on my bike visiting all the Walmarts and Targets in my area. Guess I'll get to do the same thing next year...

And did you notice that one is designated "914-6" and not just "914"?
When did Matchbox start putting the actual car's picture on the packaging?

I missed that. I like the new graphics on the card. I think Hot wheels started doing this last year.

Has anyone seen the Orange one it the US? The link mentions they are in Australia. I hope they make it here - I can't imagine they wouldn't........

I just grabbed 5 of the red Lesney Editions off of GreedBay. He has 5 more.
