January 2000 Matchbox Releases

The year 2000 is upon us. There will be a lot of goodies waiting for us throughout the year. Mattel is keep changing the numbers every year and this year is no different than the previous years. As many of you have noticed that I always use the original number that the model was first released in the US so match your numbers accordingly. As usual 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. 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.
