Hmmm..... Photo looks familiar..... Like the one earlier in this thread.
Can't wait until they are on every store shelf for .99 cents and hanging on end caps at the local Kroger Grocery Store! At the eBay prices, I'll be RICH! :-)

Looks cool. Defenitely want one. Owe it to myself. Haven't had a matchbox since I was a kid. Will they make them in different colors, or just the apple green? Went to a toy store today to see if they could special order some. Answer was no lol. She said what ever comes in, comes in. Is there a way to do a group buy on these from Matchbox, or is it just hit or miss at the local stores? Happy hunting.

Cool color!! I will wait till they are sold in shops, I wonder if I can get those here in Japan at the local Toys R Us??
Other colors available?? Adriatic blue would be cool and Tangerine too

Toys R Us might be another source. I seen on their website they also sell matchbox. The Targets by me have also been cleared out of matchbox. Hopefully they get some 914's in. Was checking out the Hot Wheels TR6.. they did a nice job on it. Seemed to be alittle better detailed than the matchbox selections.

I went to WalMart, Target, to another WalMart, Hooters then the local "gentlemens club" .....I couldnt find any 914 Matchbox cars! One WalMart and the Target had about three Matchbox cars total....shipment must be coming soon!

Hooters actually had some good wings, while the other establishment displayed some decent bacon...
I want a 914! It'll be the newest addition to my aircooled collection.

It would appear we aren't the only group excited about this particular model:
