August 2000 Matchbox Releases

Now we have two main toy shows of the year behind us and only one more to go in September. New standard models are coming out every week. Here is a list and a small description (my own) of all the Matchbox models that are released so far in this month. Remember I update this list only when I get the model in my collection. This list will be updated as I get new models until then Happy Collecting. This year I am starting to list the "MW-???" code that shows the number that the model is released under in the year 2000. The next code is the catalog listing. From last year I started linking some models with their pictures so feel free to click at the link and see the model. Please remember I cannot get pictures of every single model and post it on the web as I do have other things in life but I will try my best to post good pictures. I may be a little slow in linking pictures so do come back and visit previous months to view the models. Or you may bookmark my Picture Gallery and visit it often. Now Enjoy the new Matcbox.
