For those who have been wondering, the ROW range is now available, courtesy of John Nijhuis; our Ambassador. The list below is what we will expect in the ROW areas (with the 12 different numbered models showing the US number in brackets (the other 13 US only are beyond MB75), and all 20 new castings showing in bold). MB1 2010 Fisker Karma MB2 2008 Holden VE UTE SSV MB3 2010 Caterham R500 MB4 2008 Dodge Challenger MB5 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C MB6 2008 Chevy Corvette ZR1 MB7 2007 Shelby GT500 Convertible MB8 2008 Lotus Evora MB9 2008 Mitsubishi L200/Triton (US MB77) MB10 Dodge Viper GTS-R MB11 2006 Lotus Exige MB12 2009 Morgan Aeromax MB13 1970 Volkswagen (T2) Bus (US MB79) MB14 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 MB15 2007 Audi R8 MB16 1971 VW-Porsche 914 MB17 1969 Volvo P1800S MB18 1971 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser MB19 1964 Austin Mini Cooper 1275S MB20 1954 Jaguar XK120SE MB21 1972 Lotus Europa Special MB22 1969 Type 14 Karmann Ghia Convertible MB23 1968 Citroën DS MB24 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille MB25 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid MB26 2009 Toyota Prius MB27 2007 Honda Ridgeline (US MB82) MB28 VW Golf V GTI MB29 2008 Honda Civic Type R MB30 2004 Audi RS6 Avant MB31 2010 Cadillac CTS MB32 Cadillac Escalade MB33 2006 Jaguar XK MB34 2006 Lexus GS430 MB35 2006 Range Rover Sport MB36 2006 Bentley Continental GT MB37 Road Roller MB38 1957 GMC Stepside MB39 Skidster MB40 Scraper MB41 Quarry King MB42 Ground Breaker MB43 Tractor Plow MB44 Power Lift MB45 Chevy Suburban MB46 2006 Cement Mixer MB47 International CXT MB48 2006 Utility Truck MB49 Dump Truck MB50 GMC Terradyne MB51 Hazard Squad MB52 2010 International Brush Fire Truck MB53 Baja Bullet (US MB84) MB54 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor (US MB85) MB55 Cliff Hanger (US MB86) MB56 Pierce Dash Fire Engine MB57 Sahara Survivor (US MB89) MB58 Volkswagen Beetle 4x4 (US MB91) MB59 2010 Ford Transit Connect MB60 Express Delivery MB61 1943 Jeep Willys (US MB96) MB62 Jungle Crawler (US MB97) MB63 Ice Cream Van MB64 MBX Street Cleaner MB65 2007 Volkswagen Caddy MB66 2008 Garbage Truck MB67 City Bus MB68 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Taxi MB69 1974 Volkswagen Typ 181 (US MB98) MB70 2007 Ford Transit MB71 Double Decker Bus MB72 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 (US MB100) MB73 GMC Wrecker MB74 1985 Toyota 4Runner MB75 2009 Yamaha Rhino 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.
