Now I am quite happy as most of the "real" models are still in the range, with many "heroic" and "adventure" ones being taken out to reduce the size.  However, there is always the odd model I wish we were getting in the ROW range.

These are the 25 models (using their US numbers) that we will not be receiving in the ROW range.

MB9 Dodge Magnum
MB13 Ford GT
MB27 Mazda 2
MB53 1978 Dodge Monaco Police
MB54 2008 Ford E-350 Ambulance
MB55 1963 Cadillac Ambulance
MB57 Chevy Impala Police
MB58 Dodge Charger Police
MB61 MBX Moving Van
MB62 2006 GMC School Bus
MB69 1955 Ford F-100 Panel Truck
MB72 1965 Austin Mini Van
MB76 1975 Chevy Stepside Pick-up
MB78 MBX Motorhome
MB80 Baja Bandit
MB81 Land Rover Discovery
MB83 Hummer H3
MB87 Quick Sander
MB88 Rock Shocker
MB90 1972 Ford Bronco 4x4
MB92 Off Road Rider
MB93 Desert Thunder V16
MB94 Ridge Raider
MB95 1968 Toyota FJ Land Cruiser
MB99 MBX 4x4

Of the 25 we will not get, 8 were brand new castings in 2009 (almost half the new castings).  Also, one of those was not available in the ROW range anyway in 2009 (Caddy Ambulance).  Also, looking at the ROW range, we will not receive any police cars or ambulances at all, which is a little unusual.  And well, to be honest, the biggest shock to me was the little Mazda 2.  Such a popular vehicle in Europe, I would have thought the model was great for the ROW range (particularly as the ones released to date have sold well over here).  Also, yet again, we miss out on the Ford GT.  Why they will not bring that back to the ROW range is beyond me.  It was a great seller when it was available, but has been US exclusive for a few years now.  Still, we did get the 5-pack and 10-pack ones in 2009.

:) :D :P
