I am missing the Celtics, Timberwolves, Warriors, Nuggets, Knicks, & Raptors (if they even made that last one). Anybody else collect these?

I do indeed have an Amoco Viper or two left. Let me know if you need them!

By the way, I just got these and was told they were NOT produced for release:

Dallas Mavericks
San Antonio Spurs
Sacramento Kings
Washington Wizards
Vancouver Grizzlies
Los Angeles Clippers
Milwaukee Bucks

They are preproduction samples from Matchbox, so don't work yourself up trying to look for them in stores. Pretty cool, and no, I am not selling them Vipernut!

LMK if anybody wants me to post pictures of any of them...

Well, had the good fortune to acquire a few more of these Vipers, including the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76'ers. I also snagged this one and a few more of the other prototypes shown above:

While I don't have any more of the Raptors or Mavericks, I may have a couple of the others. They weren't cheap, as they are prototypes that were never produced for sale. They are on sealed "test cards" - they used random card stock to create the size and shape of the production blister and box. I would guess that less than 10 of each model was even produced in prototype form. I know that the Matchbox experts say they don't even exist! Cool stuff indeed...

Chris

PS. I also have extras of the Bulls and Lakers if anybody needs them...
