Matchbox 40

[strong_toy]

For those that haven't seen these, here is the new Matchbox Toyota 4Runner.

If anyone has a yellow Matchbox 40 (or two), that would be interesting in trading, please PM me. I have several jungle explorer Matchbox 40's and the blue and yellow Hot Wheels 40's.

No idea, but I would guess maybe one new per year. I'm not a big fan of the light blue metallic, but it is coincidence that is the color of the first '89 4Runner I test drove way back that sold me on the style.

I picked one up this evening too.

My first FJ40!

Remembered this thread when I was at KMart with my son getting some camping supplies. Voila, the five pack with the Orange 40.

Got back to the truck and opened the package to check it out. Pretty cool little model. The only drawback was that my 80 then decided for the first time ever (well in the two years that I have had it) not to start...jealousy? Hmm, well after lunch the truck did start, but that is now a new project.

Well, I still like both of my Cruisers.

Matchbox is making some money off of us these last few years...

Go out and get this one...

Are you sure that's not a snowmobile, (top left corner)?

No, he lives near the lake - he knows the difference. Definitely jet ski.

You're probably right. I didn't look closely at the accessories.

 

[GarnerFJ40]

I was wondering how an Avalanche rescue unit was going to use a jetski to save people! Unless due to global warming, they're just getting ready....

In some countries snowmobiles are jet skis

Sorry about the misplaced faith in my ability to discern the difference between a jet ski and snowmobile and ability to read.
