Does anyone know the status of the MB99 Bentley Continental GT (MAN#727)? It is the only model from the 2019 mainline that has yet to be found.
This year's lineup has seen some great models and I hope that Mattel will complete the series.

It was cancelled at the last minute. It has been replaced by the MB1169 casting of the ’80 Mercedes Benz W123 Wagon in a version 2 for 2019, but due to the late change, it was not available in time, and was also not available for batch A 2020. It is scheduled (hopefully) for release in batch B of 2020 although it is still cutting it close so may end up in C, and also hopefully will have a 2019 package on it, although by then the factory might mess up and put it in a 2020 package too. But it will be the Merc anyway.

Hi David,

Thanks for the information. I just hope Mattel doesn't drop the ball like they did in 2018. I will save spot #99 in the display case for the Mercedes.
Attached are a couple of scans showing 2019 matchbox series including 2 versions of the blue Land Rover, plus 2019 Ford set of 6 and '32 Ford Pickup
from the Superfast set.
