Funny you fellas mention the graphics, I was just discussing this with a buddy of mine. He said that the Malaysia made stuff is crappy and the Thailand stuff is good, seems like the sort of thing that wouldn't make a difference but.....
On another note I have purchased a subscription to the "Heritage" series that starts in may(replacing the cool classics). This is going to have some really neat cars in it; first mix has a power wagon, rabbit, 240z, 510 all in ONE MIX! The 240z is done as a salt flat car with discs and numbers. Freaking awesome!

I think the orange was an a case? I have some of those somewhere I think.... if you need one. Check a toy store.
I scored a Matchbox 93 Mustang LX 5.0 Highway Patrol car over the weekend which I thought was pretty awesome. Internets tells me the casting is a few years old but whatever, it even has "dog dish hubcaps"
Scored my first Treasure Hunt car this weekend. The white Ford Fiesta with pink wheels. Wouldn't have bought that color scheme except for the treasure hunt status.

I LOVE matchbox LEO stuff. It's always amazing. I saw that one the other day and about fell over.

Got a couple hidden away somewhere. That thing was EPIC.
is there any particular store where i am more likely to find cars with the real riders tires? or is it just luck?
I remember having a few as a kid, have not seen any in years although I just started collecting again.
In reply to failboat:
Its rare to find them in stores, because there are a bunch of people who pick through the stuff to fleabay them.

Walmart appears to have skipped d cases as usual. I saw them at two stores but they usually show up at Kroger and meijer later in the year around here.
There is a black EF hatch as well in the e case, I don't care for the red PR5 wheels but otherwise pretty cool.
In reply to Appleseed:
I snagged two of those orange '69 Boss 302's the other day, if that's the one you mean.
