I have dozens of Matrix models, the majority of which are editions of 408.
But I also have a few that are 1 of 400. The reason is puzzling.
A few years ago a similar question came up re: MC's edition sizes. The answer was a combination of pre-order quantity and how many would fit in their std. shipping box.

Do the 400's come in a slightly larger box than the 408's? Like 2% larger 🙂

Matrix number anomalies.
Besides the 400/408 editions, I have a few divergent edition sizes to report:
MX11001-021 Jaguar XK120 Ghia Supersonic was an edition of 600, on to of which a similar blue version appeared, and a similarly-clothed Aston Martin and a Fiat 8V. A lot of these 4 are still out there for sale on ebay - a bit of over-production by Matrix.
MX20603-401, the 86 Crown Vic in silver/smoke poly, was issued as 312 units. Later it was reissued in dark red over silver, not sure of the quantity but maybe having two versions was the reason for a reduced quantity.
MX41601-031, 1948 Packard 120 Vignale, was upped to 500 for some reason.
