Cool finds, Cubical. The '68 El Camino was also offered in Black/Gold and Orange/Black that way in 2011 (I bought the purple one recently too, for my daughter). I'll have to visit my local Target over the weekend and look for the '73 Firebird and IROC-Z Camaro - also want to find the police version of the 2010 Camaro SS (original release is in white, second release will be in blue):

BTW, a new repaint for the recently released '64 Chevelle (first color was red):

This one is out now...

That is just awesome. I loved the '80s Camaro IROC-Z's, and wanted one until I fell for the Trans Am GTA offering. Can't wait to get this red one, and I wonder what the 2nd issue repaint color will be?

BTW, any news on 2012 Matchbox releases to share with us?

I've only found 1 interesting '12 Matchbox repaint--a repaint of the '68 Mustang CS. Matchbox is going to focus on more garish kid-oriented models (construction vehicles, etc) and fantasy vehicles is what I've read. Saw a repaint of the '63 Caddy Ambulance as a surf wagon, but didn't care for the color scheme.

Nice to see the Flat Out 442 again..didn't realize they were reissuing it. I have a well-worn yellow one from childhood and a minty gold one I found years later.

The Mustang MB is coming out in lime green now. Its in single pack, but not widely available yet.

found it. bought it. I'd rather a different color though. Green/white isn't as appealing as the light blue/black.

The silver was a single, the 10 pack car looks like dark blue w/ a white stripe (looking at pics on ebay). I have the silver one and the green one. Maybe they will do a High Country Special in bright red or white.

i never saw the dark blue/white one! ooh, that may have made buying the 10-pack worth it.

Maybe it's lighter than I thought...kind of a medium blue..

ebay auction 190636159682 is a loose one from the 10 pack.

I also saw a MB ten pack with a black CTS coupe in it; license plate says "Stealth." The pack was labeled "First editions," so I'm assuming that means all the cars in that pack are new.

Anybody know if that CTS is available as a single anywhere? It doesn't matter what color it is; I'm planning on Frankensteining it into a V coupe, so the paint will likely get stripped anyway (I'm painting it black myself).

The CTS coupe was out as a single last year in silver, don't know if there have been any single recolors yet. The CTS-V wagon has been out in red.

I've seen the wagon in silver, but I never saw the coupe before. I'm hoping to come across a single sometimes soon, but MBs are starting to become moribund, especially around here, so I worry I may not find one.

And for those paying attention to this thread...

An upcoming release of the Hot Ones will have a reissue of the bustleback Seville. I hope its got normal paint.

Oh my freekin' goodness, me, too! I get tired of the "weird" paint jobs some of these cars get. For instance, the 1986 MC SS (HW) had a NORMAL paint job in its first incarnation. Then, all of a sudden, all of these weird jobs came. Same for the 1970 MC, too.
