This year Matchbox actually have 3 different basic ranges for 2008. For USA/Canada/Australia and New Zealand markets (hereafter called the US range), the range will expand to 100 models. However, this will not be listed on this site.
The second of these is for Latin America (hereafter known as LAAM). The idea is that certain vehicles would not sell too well in LAAM, mainly the city service style vehicles. This range will consist of 75 models.
The ROW range (Rest of World) will cover the UK. These are the small blister communities (mainly Europe and the UK). As with the LAAM range, the ROW range will only consist of 75 models, again with 23 of them receiving a 2nd colour, totaling 98 models. However, the changes for the ROW range mainly incorporate the removal of various US muscle, SUV and pick up style vehicles that would not be as popular outside of the US market.
