Finally found this one tonight at Target. It's a great looking model, makes me want the real thing even more.

A very Sweet Pea.

Praise Amazon!

That takes all the fun out of the "hunt". Plus you can't compare $.98 at Target (okay, $1.05 with tax) to $4.25 + S&H costs :P

Can't wait to see what other re-paint colors MBX will eventually offer :o

Thanks, that's really cool. Got my Ute brochure from down under. Going today to find that Ute matchbox. Sure be nice to have a Ute. GM is make a BIG mistake not importing the Ute. Sure would be nice to own a El Camino Ute here in the USA.

2011 will offer two colors on the Ute apparently, one is bright blue:

The MB 807 Holden VE UTE SSV will make a 2011 single pack appearance in a light blue with a metal flake clear coat. Notice how the front end detailing is still in place. In contrast, the MB 716 Ridge Raider design is orange with racing graphics. The Ute will be issued as #2 in the Sports Cars segment for all markets. The Ridge Raider will be issued as #94 in the Desert Endurance segment of the US/Canada/Australian markets. The Ridge Raider is not scheduled for the LAAM or ROW markets. This will be the only color for the Ridge Raider in The MB 1-100 series for 2011. The Ute will be issued in two colors in the 2011 MB 1-100 series.
